Domkeller in Meißen

Very quaint and cozy, the food was great, there's nothing to complain about. A fabulous view of Meissen from the terrace. Full marks, highly recommended⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone who loves historical walls and traditional regional cuisine should not miss the Dom Keller. Very fast service at the tables, a manageable menu but still a good selection. Regional wines are also offered. However, wheelchair users hardly have a chance here, which could be difficult. I didn't see the parking lot. Prices in the middle range. My absolute recommendation.

Es hat Riesenspaß gemacht! Tolles Essen und eine grandiose Bedienung, die uns auch über die Geschichte dieses ältesten Restaurant in Meißen informiert haben. Sehr sehr empfehlenswert!

We were very excited about the beautiful view on the terrace. The service was super nice and the food tasted very tasty. Best regards

We were able to enjoy a fantastic dinner here in a fantastic location with a view over Meissen. I chose ox cheeks which were just perfect. Thank you very much for the great evening and the excellent food!

Food great, service friendly and accommodating, good atmosphere. We would be happy to come back next time you visit Meißen. Only

The ambience, food and service were great. We'd love to come back.

There's nothing for normal people, just very unusual ones and there's not even normal Cola, just fake Cola and Zero 😅 food itself, I don't need to talk about it, it's really not tasty, it tastes like it's not seasoned and it's really not for people with taste, you should leave it alone People. And if you really want to eat well in Meissen you should definitely avoid it, the fries are more than annoying and very slimy and it tastes better at McDonalds and I had to return the schnitzel because it wasn't completely cooked through. Two days later I had food poisoning 😕😭

Everything was perfect, including food and service, we and our guests had a good time there.

Service und Essen auf hohen Niveau. Ambiente historisch. Lokales Meißner Bier vom Fass. Auch Verganer sind hier gut bedient. Die Terrasse mit Blick auf Meissen ist einen Besuch Wert.

Despite the large audience, two seats were quickly found for us and we were served immediately. The view on the terrace is very nice. The service is very friendly and efficient. Despite the heat, it was a very pleasant stay.

A very nice place. Great food. Very nice service. Beautiful views

A beautiful restaurant on the Albrechtsburg. Friendly service from the bosses down to the last waiter. We were served by Hany. Super friendly and very accommodating. Food and the view of Meissen are brilliant. We'll be back soon.

Had a great lunch there. Balcony space with a view of Meissner roofs. Very nice service.

We drank coffee and sat on one of the terraces with a very nice view.

The reservation worked wonderfully, we received a warm welcome; excellent employees who were funny and courteous and always attentive despite the high workload; very, very good cuisine, great price/performance ratio and, last but not least, a gigantic view from the terrace. Any time! Thank you!

Very tasty, regional food. Very good service - really recommended

I am very pleased with the restaurant, food, service and atmosphere. The food was very good, large portions, moderate prices. The "downside" is the fact that not everyone willing to mingle on the terrace overlooking the city.

Im Rahmen unserer 70. bzw. 75. Geburtstagsfeier in Meißen, waren wir im Domkeller am 26. 07. 24, mit 14 Personen unserer Familie zum Abendessen! Tolles, lecker zubereitetes Essen, sehr aufmerksame, freundliche und professionelle Bedienung, sowie ein atemberaubender Ausblick vom Balkon über die Altstadt bis hin zur Elbe! Vielen herzlichen Dank! T. & V. Engelhardt

The nervous waitress spoiled the whole mood of a nice evening and a nice view from the terrace. Get ready for a long wait for food. And then you will be counted on for a long time. And if you are unlucky and you run into the same waitress, she will tell you that you make her nervous. Thank you for the "warm" welcome.

It’s not very clear on the map how to get there, but it’s impossible to pass by! The place is beautiful, a gorgeous observation deck. One of the few places where you can have a hearty meal on the way to the castle

The most beautiful table in Meißen, at least when the weather is good, is on the terrace of the cathedral cellar. Friendly and attentive service quickly makes us forget what level of service we had previously experienced in Meißen. Certainly not a gourmet restaurant, but the price-performance ratio is absolutely fine for the location. Basically, I'd be happy to go back if there weren't a few places in Meißen with better food, even if they weren't in such a great location.

Very good food, great view over Meißen and the waiter's sayings are always brief but neat along the edge. You will probably rarely be able to get a seat without ordering, at least on the terrace.

Very good service and fine local food. Paired with a great view over Meissen.

We spontaneously got a place on the terrace. The food was high quality and the staff was also super friendly.

Excellent restaurant with generous portions. The cuisine is delicious and the black beer we had is to die for. The next time we go to Meißen, we'll come back here!

We've eaten here several times and we're always happy to come back!!!

Full marks! Great potato soup and the rest is great too! The (boss) waiter was extremely nice and also had great sayings. The ambience is also very great and the terrace over the city is beautiful.

Very good food, everything went quickly enough. Drinks came almost immediately after ordering. Unfortunately there is no space on the terrace with a view, which should be booked in advance. It was pleasant to see and read a lot between the toilets and the restaurant, I was well entertained.

I can't find anything negative. We were there on Saturday August 10th. there. Had ordered beforehand. We were 13 people. 13 Food 13 times very good. We were particularly lucky to be able to enjoy the great view over Meißen from the terrace. Thank you for the lovely evening Sagar Cultural House Association Enrico

Sensational view, great ambience, good food

The food was delicious. Alt-Meißner bread soup is a must. This was the tastiest soup we have ever eaten. The service was courteous. If we visit this beautiful city again, we will definitely choose this restaurant.

The view is mesmerizing. Coffee and dessert are delicious. The beer is excellent. I recommend everyone to come

It surprises me every time how good it is there. Always worth a trip.

My family had a wonderful meal here yesterday - delicious entrees and a wonderful view - a nice wait-staff. All around a nice ending to a day trip to Meissen!

We were there for our 40th wedding anniversary. Table decorated, super nice, competent staff, delicious food and great view over Meißen. There was also a small gift. Were there for the first time, but certainly not the last. Thanks to the team.

The food is very good. The restaurant has a beautiful terrace with beautiful views over Meißen. Unfortunately I sat next to a flat earther which spoiled the atmosphere a bit, but I still give it 5 stars because a beautiful girl asked for my number. After the visit the waiter came to apologize for the annoying man. In retrospect we can laugh about this.

The restaurant is located right next to the cathedral. Very friendly and attentive staff. The food was very good, unfortunately the dessert couldn't keep up. Good price-performance ratio.

the tastiest pork carcass ever eaten

Sometimes you’re giving German restaurant another chance and just remember why you shouldn’t. But first about good things: as an oldest restaurant in the city it has according atmosphere and design. Another point-beautiful view from the terrace. If you want just vibe and beer-place for you. Service was also acceptable, but that’s all. Food: portions is not very big. If you’re coming here hungry after walking around the city, be ready to order a few dishes per person and leave here some money. Food was not hot and some parts of the dishes was questionable quality (for example, cucumber in salad tasted like it was laying outside of the fridge for some days). Meet had too much mustard, but it’s more of a personal taste. No vegan dishes, as always in German restaurants. Kitchen was nice to make baked potatoes without sour cream, but if you’re vegan it would be your only option here. In the end: it’s a dissent place to get some drinks in summer and enjoy the view. As a restaurant for dinner, you can do better even in this small town.

Especially now (2020) it is important to support regional gastronomy. And here you can and should really do it. The staff is confident, friendly and even ready for a little joke. The food is excellent and freshly prepared. The ambience is rustic, cozy and perfectly matches the flair of the old building. You can choose between a great view over Meißen or the Meißen Cathedral and Albrechtsburg. Highly Recommended I'll give an update from 07/2024: Still absolutely great. The service, food and ambience continue to get full marks and I finally thought about taking pictures 😁

Urisch, with a beautiful view over Meißen - the food is very good! The prices are based on the height of the building next door (cathedral). But the service can't quite keep up - around 8 p.m. no one from the service staff was there for half an hour! We had an 11 year old with us - unfortunately no one offered us a children's ticket. Overall: Price-performance: not true!

Restaurant with many years of tradition located in a very picturesque place. Very atmospheric and clean place. Service is nice and at a high level. Food is very good, served aesthetically, and the portions are large. Impressions after the visit are very positive. I highly recommend!

beautiful view on the terrace. very courteous staff. There are binoculars on the parapet tables so you can look into the distance. The food was very good.

After the open day in Meissen we went to Albrechtsburg to round off the day. Unfortunately the food wasn't that good. Most of us didn't like it. It's a shame given the view. The food is way too expensive for the quality. Maybe the chef was having a bad day? Service was friendly.

Very good restaurant, great food. So absolutely recommended ☀️

We were in the cathedral cellar on Sunday for my mother's birthday. Even the welcome was super nice. The chef brought us a little greeting from the kitchen, which was delicious. The main courses not only looked fantastic, they also tasted as delicious as they looked... Ice cream afterwards topped everything off. Price/performance was completely fine, I can definitely recommend the Domkeller!

Very good cuisine and service. The rustically furnished terrace initially makes a good visual impression thanks to the beautiful view of the city. Unfortunately, the tables are so close that you sit far too close to your neighbor and have to listen to every word spoken at a normal volume; zero privacy. Ergonomics of the tables and chairs/benches are terrible and therefore do not invite you to linger for a long time. Comfortable is something else.

Deliciously. Quickly. The view is wonderful. Goulash in bread is delicious. I liked the white wine. It's worth a visit.

Het eten was niet lekker, schnitzel was niet lekker, hoopje pasta? , wat champignons. Als ik zie wat we moesten betalen en wat je krijgt stond niet in verhouding. Ga zelf op onderzoek uit en je zult zeker wat beters vinden! Ik heb hier zeker niet lekker gegeten en als je daa as N ook nog eens 85,00 euro moet aftikken. Nogmaals ga zelf op onderzoek uit en laat de Domkeller links liggen.

Was there alone last week without a reservation. Got great space on the route. The service was very friendly and attentive. Pork schnitzel simply good, juicy. Here again today, sitting on the cathedral square, it's going on. Thank you very much

Only recommended. Been there last year. For the golden wedding anniversary.

Great food, very good service (thanks Mr. Harz), beautiful location…sensational view from the balconies The cellar beer is highly recommended.

The way gastronomy should be, clean, friendly and attentive. Plus a beer that isn't off the shelf with some delicious food.

Great staff, great cuisine and the view over Meissen...sensational!

Very nice restaurant. Great view. When I heard Domkeller I really thought more of a cellar, not a terrace. Gladly again

The cathedral cellar is absolutely recommended! The food was very tasty and the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. The service was fantastic - we felt really welcome. An all-round successful visit that we would be happy to repeat!

Meißen has a beautiful old town center.

Food was good, long waiting time for food otherwise quite decent

Wonderful place to eat and we were able to enjoy a great view over the city of Meißen. We were traveling as a team and were of course able to evaluate and see who had what ;). So my food was delicious and so was that of my colleagues. Thank you for the lovely time with you. Many greetings from Kolkwitz and Lübben

Great ambience! Be sure to reserve a table on the terrace above Meißen! Friendly staff - owner-managed! Very good food that fits well into the ambience! Typically Saxon!

A small rustic restaurant with delicious, good cuisine and a fantastic view from the terrace. v Tip, reserve a table in advance, it's worth it!!!

First of all: It's not exactly cheap, but the price-performance ratio is still right because you're offered an amazing view with very good food. You can look directly at the city of Meißen when you sit outside. A reservation is then recommended. The utensils such as sunglasses, sunscreen and binoculars that are available on every table are funny and practical. The sauerbraten and the country pork roast were perfect and tender. The caramelized poppy seed and semolina pudding with the asparagus ragout was sophisticated and very tasty at the same time. A great evening for my wife, who was able to end her birthday like this. Thanks!

Friendly staff, a not too large but nicely varied menu and, that can be the only conclusion, very good cuisine because for our group of seven the dishes arrived at the same time and the taste and freshness were optimal. Never had such a tasty cutlet before! And yes, that view is of course fantastic. For example, drink a nice Keller beer with it and you will have a nice evening.

The restaurant is wonderfully located, with a great view over the city. The food was very tasty. The service was great. The employees are always committed and on their toes. The table reservation could be made easily using a mobile phone. The response/confirmation was prompt.

There were 7 of us eating there with our children. It's just beautiful there. One drawback was that there was no Bautzen mustard with the grilled knuckle. A pity. Keep it up. Maybe Bautzen mustard will be available soon.

We are currently visiting Meißen and got a table for dinner in the Dom Keller even without a reservation. The service staff was attentive and served us immediately. As a starter we had spiced meat, which was very tasty, but the bread that came with it was already burnt, black and dry. For the main course we had corn-fed chicken breast with asparagus and gnocchi and asparagus with parsley potatoes and salad. The gnocchi were inedible (this was due to both the taste and the consistency), asparagus and chicken breast were tasty, but the food was very, very oily. The vegetarian dish was overall okay, but I can't recommend it because the salad was missing the dressing and the rest of the food wasn't convincing either. Finally, we definitely expected more from the Dom Keller (especially for this price)!

Rustically furnished restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. Good home cooking with a regional focus. Card and cash payment possible. Price/performance ratio OK It's worth a visit. We'd love to come back.

A bit expensive but a nice menu and brilliant view. Unfortunately we weren't there at mealtime, so we weren't hungry. (Dogs are not allowed in the museum). View on the terrace. Big plus: the dog gets water without asking. Thanks.

A great restaurant with a great view over the city. The food was delicious. Price-performance match. They carry some Saxon wine. We tried 4 different ones while eating, all great.

Great restaurant in the city center, very tasty food, lots of local dishes, nice service.

We were there yesterday, celebrating a birthday. We had a table at the upper balcony and the view was amazing- unfortunately this was the only positive thing about our experience. The service was polite, but completely overwhelmed and took forever to take and bring our order. Some of the drinks we had to ask several times for. We weren’t asked at all if everything was good with our food while eating, and when we complained to the waiter about one of our main courses- a salmon trout that tasted like mud, he said someone will be coming to us and left. After waiting for 10 minutes and realizing that nothing will be done about our complaint I took it upon myself to bring the full plate back inside where another employee finally paid us attention. Meanwhile behind us and next to us (inside) were seated parties of obviously important guests that had several waiters taking care of them and what made us feel even more out of place was the fact that both tables were prepared carefully with white table cloths, while our wasn’t. If you won’t bother taking care and treating all of your guests, that are seated in the same area equally, then don’t bother seating them in the same area! This is literally hospitality 101 and I hope whoever this review really concerns does something about it in the future as it’s just unacceptable. I am pretty sure we would have felt much more comfortable and wanted if we were seated downstairs with all other guests that also had no tablecloths on their tables. The grand finale to our fiasco was having to pay for the salmon trout we brought back, but at this point we already had no desire to make our day and the birthday of our family member even more of a negative experience by arguing about it. The generally positive reviews of this restaurant make me feel like this is not a standard for them, but I personally won’t be recommending it or coming back.

A pleasant restaurant with a beautiful view of Meissen, a large selection of food, large portions, the price of a knee, trout approx. 20 euros

Very good food, very friendly service and great view of Meißen from the terrace, advance booking recommended

Incredibly beautiful view from the outside terrace over the old town with the red roofs. The 1/2 duck was super tasty.

Excellent meal, I had the knuckle and it was the most tender I've ever had (although the crust could have been a little crispier). The service was also very good, quick and very friendly. There's basically nothing to say about the ambience on the Schlossberg in Meißen; when the weather is nice you can sit on a nice little terrace with a view over Meißen.

Very good food, very friendly staff. Great view

Very cozy restaurant. The food tastes very good and the service is great. We'd love to come back.

A nice quaint restaurant with very polite staff. The food is really tasty and tasty.

Feel-good atmosphere. Nice, friendly, attentive and courteous service, who has an eye for when and what is needed. Very tasty food which was served fairly quickly after ordering. The only complaint: you didn't get exactly what you ordered. For example, the pasta with basil pesto and mushrooms we ordered was missing mushrooms and instead came with carrots and other vegetables. All in all, it was still tasty and sufficient. The view from the heated panoramic terrace is absolutely worth seeing!

We had a birthday party with 12 people on Monday. The service and food was very good. The various rooms are also very comfortable. Can only be recommended. Parking at the house is also possible if it is free.

Great view over Meißen. There is also a cool blonde. Very friendly for children too. A good place to relax after climbing the Domberg and visiting the museum. Fair prices. Friendly service. Gladly again.

Absolute recommendation.... Loving reservation.... Great view and absolutely top staff.... Greetings Rätzel

Lunch on the terrace in the beautiful sunshine. It doesn't get any better

Great restaurant on the castle hill in Meißen right next to the Albrechtsburg and the cathedral - including a view of the old town of Meißen. Ambiance with a historical touch and lovingly arranged with many references to Meißen. Beautiful terrace right on the castle hill. The food on offer is home-style, seasonal and a bit more expensive by Meissen standards, but the ambience makes up for it. We had a great waiter who always had a quick but witty saying on his lips - so you were happy when he came back to the table. Children's menu available. Reasonable wait times even though we were a large group. We were completely satisfied and would like to come back.

Good Friday, 1:30 p.m. The small dining room was well filled. We immediately felt at ease; Got a table, seconds later the friendly waitress was at the table. And the service remained excellent. Likewise the food for the three of us (perfect trout - vegetables swapped for asparagus for an additional charge - large, good chop after an excellent bread soup; beer goulash with matching beer). Unfortunately there wasn't enough for dessert because - despite being of different generations - we were more than full. Good local wine list. Prices are reasonable. Lots of staff, which contributes to a visible relaxation. The room is a bit cramped, but not for people who don't like taking the elevator. When the weather is good, you obviously sit outside anyway.

Very tasty 😋. We sat in the canon's room. With a beautiful view, there is an outdoor area that is also very pleasant. Kind regards, Flögel family

Beautiful view - great furnishings - delicious Dresden Eierschecke

Very nice restaurant. The food, the service, everything was great. Can only be recommended.

Romantic lunch in the Meißen cathedral cellar As a couple we had the pleasure of having lunch at Domkeller Meißen and it was just perfect. The Schieler from the Vincenz Richter winery was a refreshing start. The dish of the day, fish on wild garlic gnocchi, was a culinary highlight and was wonderfully rounded off by the Saxon egg pie and poppy seed pie as dessert. The finale was the Domkellergeist, a herbal liqueur that completed the taste experience. We can highly recommend the Domkeller – an ideal place for couples who want to enjoy a special meal.

We were looked after by a very nice and courteous employee. The food was very good.

So the food was great. No problem with the senior portion either. We didn't order, but we weren't turned away. Service is very good and the atmosphere is rustic, inviting, cozy. Full marks for that. And the view over MEISSEN and the Elbe valley is simply great

Roulade was excellent, waiter very nice. I preferred to invest the 7 euro entrance fee for the cathedral here.

Very good food and funny head waiter... What more could you want 👍🏻

The service is nice and funny. The food is very tasty... But... A warmed up quark club that wasn't homemade for just under €7... that really doesn't have to be the case 😅... Nevertheless, I would go there again

We had dinner here yesterday for Valentine's Day. The restaurant was very busy. Nevertheless, the service was absolutely friendly, personable and very patient. The food was absolutely amazing – unfortunately I can’t express it. Starters and main course were great. I have NEVER eaten such delicious sauerbraten! The menu is varied and the portions are generous. Even though the dining room was fully occupied, we received our food and drinks quickly. We are absolutely happy and the mountain rolled back to its stand "packed". Thank you very much for the great service and the great evening.

After a long drive we were craving something hearty and a good beer, and Domkeller exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. We enjoyed traditional, home-cooked meals prepared just like Mom's. The beef roulade with red cabbage and wrapped dumpling as well as the Dresden sauerbraten were delicious and were perfectly rounded off with a cloudy Meissen beer. Particularly noteworthy is the dessert, which was probably prepared according to a grandmother's recipe: a semolina pudding with poppy seeds and a caramelized layer, served with hot chocolate cherries. A real culinary delight! The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and invites you to linger. We were completely satisfied and will definitely come back. An absolute recommendation! The cathedral cellar completely convinced us. Please keep it up!

Enjoyed a very nice lunch in a cozy space! The schnitzel with cheese and fried potatoes, as well as the quark legs are recommended. The service was also very nice and quick, the food came to the table very quickly.

A really great restaurant. Right next to the cathedral

Spontaneous visit, were very satisfied, ate very well, was very pleasant
