Dragon House in Potsdam

Great outside, inside you have to make a reservation. Prices are a bit exorbitant

Today, November 3rd, 2024, we took a trip from Berlin to Potsdam and Sanssouci Park and in the Drachenhaus we treated ourselves to a Kaiserschmarren for 12.50 euros and two wine spritzers for a total of 20.00 euros. What did we get, the wine spritzer was drinkable, the Kaiserschmarren was dry and included 10 crumbs and two plums for 12.50 euros and everything in the outdoor area with self-service. And then the catering industry complains that people are staying away. It was a disappointing visit, the impression is that it's about the money of the guests, who only come once anyway. I don't want to make a recommendation.

The coffee comes from a fully automatic machine, so it tastes just like any bakery. €4.50 for a cappuccino is not justified

Simply great! Great food, nice, quick service & nice seats on the Drachenhaus terrace, it really doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks for the great experience!

Great place for a coffee break after running through the beautiful Sanssouci Park

It was a beautiful area and a very nice atmosphere

Finally another week in Potsdam. As always, the Drachenhaus is on the program (several times): Some things don't change for years. Fortunately

Great cake 🍰 Friendly service and of course a special ambience!

Went to the dragon castle today on a beautiful autumn day. Apart from the fantastic location, today I had by far the best tarte flambée and Federweißer I've ever had!! The slightly higher price was absolutely justified by the great quality of the food. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Can highly recommend a visit there, we will be back!

Frederick II, King of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great, had the Drachenhaus built in 1770 as a home for the winemaker on Klausberg. When designing the house, the architect Carl von Gontard was inspired by sketches of the Ta Ho Pagoda from Canton. We couldn't help but think of the Chinese House in Sanssouci Park. Frederick the Great also cultivated the chinoiserie trend that was current in the 18th century. Today the buildings leave us with a very special fascination for East Asian style elements.

Unfortunately there is no alternative to milk and the boss (?) put down a younger colleague so much that as a guest you would actually have liked to say something. I'm sorry for my young colleague, having to work with someone like that. The atmosphere there is actually nice, but under the circumstances you would rather get going again. A little tip for the boss: If you treat your employees better, they will certainly be more motivated, but being loud never helps ;).

A lovely cafe/restaurant originally dating back to the 18th century. I found the service friendly and quick, lemon tart and cocoa tasted good. Nice atmosphere

Cozy little café in the Sanssouci park, located in the historic Drachenhaus building. Perfect spot for a break while exploring the park, and recharge with delicious cakes and hot drinks. Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

We have been there twice this week and the impression from the first time has been confirmed. Great, fresh cuisine. Everything is very nicely arranged, it's probably prepared with love. Very friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere. We will be back.

Unfortunately, my visit to the Drachenhaus Restaurant & Café on October 6, 2024 was very disappointing. The service was unfriendly and unaccommodating. We had to wait quite some time for a table and were informed of the waiting time in an extremely rude manner. Instead of taking care of the guests, we were left to our own devices and told to just sit down somewhere. Any advice given by the staff was apparently secondary and unhelpful. Overall, a very unpleasant experience characterized by a lack of friendliness and poor service. I was hoping for much more and will probably not visit this restaurant again.

First we would like to thank Dennis for serving us. (We specifically asked if we could mention him) Dennis was very friendly and courteous, our restaurant needs waiters like that! We had a piece of poppy seed eggnog cake and a piece of nougat cake (can't remember the exact name), the cakes are very very very tasty and recommended. We would be happy to come back if we visit Potsdam again. Thank you Dennis for your great service, keep it up!

Great ambience and great cake. Unfortunately the waiters were hopelessly overwhelmed.

It was very full today and we spontaneously got a table for five. The food is really delicious, the atmosphere is really stylish and the service is really courteous. You have to and should take some time to really enjoy the ambience.

For a place that fancy, I was disappointed. The soup was so salty, I could not taste the vegetables. It was half yellow and half dark orange. We asked the waitress and she couldn't tell what it was. The fish was not great, the spinach cream sauce didn't taste anything and was not creamy.

Very nice service, very friendly, coffee and cake very tasty

Very unfriendly and impolite service and extremely long waiting times. Although the surroundings are very beautiful, the restaurant is NOT RECOMMENDED. One star as an overall grade just because of the surroundings.

Nice atmosphere in a very quiet location. The service was friendly, the food came quickly. However, the Wiener Schnitzel was relatively tough and therefore not worth the price of over €25. The currywurst for over €17 (!) was also rather disappointing. It's a shame, the location itself is great. The regional beer was great👍.

Great food, great service, loved it

The weather was nice and we sat outside. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our dog was brought a water bowl straight away without us having to ask. The food was very tasty! Thank you!

Nice restaurant/café with a beer garden, beautifully located in the Sanssouci Palace Park.

Large selection of super delicious cakes/tarts, lunch was also super delicious (since we couldn't decide what we wanted to eat, we had lunch first and then coffee) Staff friendly, but you need to have good nerves - there's no lie - 98% of the time the guests DIDN'T find the toilet. Therefore for all future guests: The toilet is on the left side when viewed from the entrance door, go through this door (there is even a sign with "toilet") and along the right, you can't miss it - the kitchen is straight ahead . We found it entertaining and had a live cinema 😀

I recently visited this restaurant and I'm sorry to say it was a disappointing experience. The service was incredibly slow. We had to wait over 30 minutes for drinks, 45 minutes for the food to finally come. The staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized, even though only the outside seats were occupied. When the food finally arrived the disappointment was complete. It was obvious that many of the dishes consisted of convenience products (Sebastian Lege and "Besseresser" send their regards), the quality was far below what I would expect from a restaurant in this price range (e.g.: currywurst with western potatoes €18, the drinks -Prices correspondingly much too high). The dishes were tasteless and carelessly prepared. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit. For a tourist "hotspot" like Sanssouci Park, I get the impression that it's all about income from guests who only come here once anyway, rather than about quality. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Unfortunately the kitchen remained cold today. Technical problems. Thanks to a well-coordinated and very courteous, friendly team, cold delicacies were offered. Rarely have we been served so kindly.

Limited food options, nice beer. Ornate decor.

Very good quality. Food also for the modern palate!

Had pastries and tea/cappuccino. Pastries were really excellent. Nice place to relax after walking in the gigantic Sanssouci park.

Great service and really recommended!

Service staff was extremely unfriendly

We wanted to have coffee and cake there today. After about 20 minutes of no response to us, we left again. Just walking past us and not paying attention, we figured we weren't wanted there. It's a shame, we thought it was very nice from the outside.

Very friendly reception. Of course a great atmosphere on top ☺️ Absolutely delicious cakes and I haven't eaten such fresh chanterelles in a long time. Absolutely consistent. I enjoyed the break on Sunday.

There were four of us here as a family, we ate well in a very nice atmosphere and were impressed by the friendly staff. Gladly again

The ambience and surroundings are very nice there. Unfortunately, the friendly waitress forgot to serve a banana split that we ordered. Too bad...

Not cheap but very good food and clean.

Nice restaurant and a very friendly staff.

We only had one drink. But everything that passed us in terms of food looked very good.

Were here today with my husband, father and cousin. 4 people with a wheelchair! It took a while until we reached the top with the wheelchair. Not suitable for disabled people, up the stairs through the coffee shop to the toilets, and winding corridors not easy for older people to reach. The cakes were very tasty and some of the staff were very nice... I think there was a lack of coordination as to who was allowed to serve which tables, because staff were there!!!

A little crowded when tour groups arrive.

The food wasn't good, burnt, fried potato wedges, for example, and the prices were too expensive for the limited offer. 18 E for a currywurst! It's simply unrivaled in the Sanssouci park. The waitress was new, didn't know anything, always came very late and was dirty!!! With dirty aprons and unkempt hair. But there is no other snack bar, no other café or at least a drinks stand in the park, so you can afford all of this.

Many coffee specialties are advertised, which unfortunately were lacking. Food cannot be rated because we had enough after the cappuccino. Service was good

We celebrated our wedding last weekend in the Drachenhaus and are very happy about it. All of our wedding guests found the location very special, we were able to have our free wedding ceremony there and there was always room for any unanswered questions before the wedding. The service was great, the food was great and we are completely happy with our decision to have celebrated the most wonderful day there. Many thanks to the Drachenhaus for the wonderful day and all the efforts.

Really good icecream and lunches In the middle of Potsdam. The only thing holding it back are the prices to dessert ratio where a ~10€ dessert doesn't quite yield the amount you'd expect. Otherwise friendly service, great location and delectable sweets

A small, pretty restaurant with a surprisingly extensive menu. We were very impressed. Friendly staff and great accessibility.

A very nice café, highly recommended. Very good service and a big compliment and a ❤️. The food is great and has everything from cakes to hearty potato soup.

Very fine cakes, friendly and competent service, very nice location on the edge of the castle park - do you want more?

Beautiful location in Potsdam at Sans Souci park. Great outdoor seating. Large selection of very good cakes. But also a good and varied food menu for lunch or dinner.

Unique historical place, very good food and courteous staff. Be sure to visit!

The only restaurant in the park. The food is delicious, I recommend the veal cutlet and potato salad. Perfect place for dinner and rest! Possibility to eat outside and inside!

Service differs enormously from waiter to waiter. The young bloke was useless.

Just wanted something to drink, were no longer served because there was supposedly a thunderstorm, very sad, I will never go there again, service was desert

We loved every minute of our time here, including walking up to the building, which is beautiful. The food was delicious and fresh, and the presentation was elegant. It was very reasonably priced. One may sit inside or outside. We chose to sit inside and the ambiance was so pleasant. The waiters were extremely courteous and helpful. It is also convenient when visiting Schloss Sancouci. I highly, highly recommend this place. I think it is a must-do in Potsdam.

It was very expensive with limited options and service was very rude even though we were polite.

You can eat and chill very well here. Friendly staff.

The cakes are wonderful. The ambience is awesome

Pleasant atmosphere and good food. Unfortunately, there are also long waiting times for drinks and food. Hence the 3 stars.

Very suitable for a break and moderate prices with a good selection. If the weather is appropriate, it is advisable to go outside.

Family celebration, everything was great, attentive and friendly service, great cakes and tarts, very fresh, very nice decoration and decoration of the room, very happy to come back

Fast and good, especially on rest days when museums are closed and there are fewer visitors.

The restaurant is located on the edge of Sanssouci Park. It's nice to sit outside and we were treated very kindly. The cake and the coffee were excellent! Inside, however, it is a bit old-fashioned, but more spacious than you would expect.

Great destination, good offer, a small comment "I don't like coffee" but it's definitely a matter of taste...

Come with your family, ordered drinks and had to wait 40 minutes and then there were no apologies

The best insider tip in Sanssouci Park: the Dragon House. There is a garden and also the possibility to eat inside. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and it was still a quiet place in the hustle and bustle of the tourist attraction. The prices are also reasonable... We'll remember the place for our next visit to Potsdam!!

We sat in the uncrowded garden for 30 minutes. The waitress served everyone around us. Even those who came much later. Just not us. We then went to Augustiner Bräu, very friendly service

Simply excellent from the hospitality to the food and highly recommended.

I found the staff to be very friendly, even under difficult conditions (wheelchair, ♿ parking space) we were served in a friendly and professional manner. A nice greeting to the kitchen staff.

Good cake and coffee. But the service was terrible and staffs were soooooo rude!

Good cake and coffee, beautiful atmosphere!! But cannot stress enough on how rude and impolite the staff are!!

Very beautiful place, delicious food and very gentle staff 😋

Definitely go there for cake, coffee or even just a beer. Super nice people and a great location.

Perfect place, great food, with very friendly staff.

We had a lunch at the terrasse. The asparagus soup was delicious. Nice place with friendly service.

We passed the café on the way from the Orangery to the Belvedere and picked up a piece of cake to go. The piece of cake was well packaged and a fork was included. And it tasted super delicious! (Poppy seed marzipan cake - €5.20 each)

Was here once last year for coffee and cake, back then with self-service on the terrace. Overall, great atmosphere, coffee and the cake were very tasty. Would love to come back. Unfortunately, my question regarding a brunch offer, for example on public holidays, was answered in the negative. Unfortunately, this is only available for orders of 20 or more people.

Beautiful location with delicious cakes and gateaux and great service.

When the sun is shining, it's best to sit outside. Very nice and motivated employees. Potsdamer Stange and a Wiener Schnitzel with local asparagus. That was very tasty. Thank you for allowing us to be guests. See recommended. I'm happy to leave 5* here.

Very pretty place in the heart of the Sans Souci park, in a quiet green setting. Fair prices for the setting, with a selection of homemade cakes. Negative point: no vegan options. Positive point: the only business to offer free toilets!

Really great restaurant. Delicious food and the service was perfect. We felt very comfortable as a team and agree: we can only recommend it.

It was really nice and very comfortable here. Great location near the castle and in nature. Delicious drinks and good food!

We were there shortly before opening and were still given a very friendly welcome. Big praise to the always friendly staff

Nice service and a place for a coffee

Extremely friendly service. Excellent service. Thank you very much. The cake was very tasty.

Beautiful building great atmosphere nice menu friendly service. Be sure to try the wine from Werder. The cakes and tarts are also very tasty.

It was a spontaneous decision to go there for lunch. Great food. Very tasty cakes. Great ice cream sundaes. Nice coffee menu. I would have stayed there the rest of the day. Thanks to the great service.

Our visitors and we were completely satisfied with everything. We recommend Thanks

I am very disappointed with the service today! We just waited for 40 minutes and just saw the people who came later after us eating! The waitress was very friendly but that doesn't make anything better! I told the other waiter we wanted to order and he said he couldn't take it because it just wasn't their area. Very very disappointed,

a nice castle cafe in the park of Sanssouci Palace. Bringing friendly dogs was no problem

We were left waiting for an hour and not even The drinks came.

It's great to sit (lie) in the deck chairs. We didn't eat.

Celebrated great-grandchildren, it was nice because the grandson's wedding was also celebrated there.

The food was very delicious. We tried Schnitzel and Curry Wurst and really liked it. The service was very quick and friendly even it was very crowded. This restaurant is located in a historical building which looks like a Chinese pagoda.

We took a coffee break in the dragon house. The location is very nice, the atmosphere is appealing. I ordered a piece of Black Forest cake (€4.90) and my partner ordered a lemon tart (€4.50). But what we were served for this price was completely out of the question. Both pieces were rather narrow and were frozen food from the “Gut und Günstig” brand. Even if it is likely that you will only see most guests once, this is not a serious business model.

Stopped here on a rainy Sunday for a sophisticated hot chocolate with cashew nougat, date sugar and turmeric as well as a delicious, juicy tangerine cheesecake. Very nice atmosphere with a view of Sanssouci Park and classical music in the background. The employees are very warm and attentive.

Extremely delicious food! Insider tip: The caramelized Kaiserschmarrn. 😋🤤

Beautiful house, nice staff, but unfortunately the huge LCD screens in the memorial interior are scary, reminiscent of the Mac Donald's LCD menu

Opening hours are from Wed-Sun. 12-18. Nevertheless, we are standing in front of the closed door at 4:20 p.m. Thank you for the unnecessary journey and the disappointed children.
