Dresdner Trödelschänke in Dresden

simply great! great food, nice service and charming restaurant!

A restaurant away from mass-produced tourist shops. Great atmosphere like in grandma's living room, unfortunately the food is not as good as grandma's.

Delicious food based on grandma's recipes

I really like the atmosphere, nice staff and the food is typically Saxon.

Very nice restaurant with very good and inexpensive cuisine. Thanks

Regular dishes, just like at home

Simple food that actually fits the ambience, just like grandma's. Super friendly service. Furnishings like Abraham's.

I was choosing between this place and the Turkish restaurant across the street—still regretting my choice 😫. The food was overly salty, awful, and left me with a hurting stomach afterward. Honestly, not enjoyable at all. Giving 2 stars only because the interior was cozy and welcoming.

Very nice restaurant, old-fashioned interior and super clean toilets

If you don't speak German, you will find it unpleasant, they will not try to find you a table, take orders from people who came after you but speak German and give you just one menu in English. Extremely understaffed restaurant. We waited for 45 minutes for 3 of the same dishes. Interior is nice.

Truly extraordinary! Good home cooking to fill you up. Ambience lovingly furnished with attention to detail. Very decent prices. The service is attentive and very friendly. Ostalgie charm in a positive sense right down to the simple tin cutlery. What I liked best was the beautiful “smoking room” (3rd photo) in the basement on the way to the toilets.

Wonderful experience back in the past of the GDR with delicious food 😋😋😋😋

The Trödelschänke offers cozy and rustic furnishings; you feel like you have been transported back in time. The staff is friendly, the food is tasty, the portions are large. However, the prices (as of 10/2024) do not match those on the website... everything is 2-4 euros more expensive, the 1/2l beer is 5.50 euros, but that is to be expected for the city center.

So beautiful. You feel like you're in grandma's old room. Furniture, dishes... and of course the down-to-earth food is something you have to try when you're in Dresden.

A beautiful place with a special atmosphere. It is not possible to pay by card.

Extremely good food in a fantastic antique flea market atmosphere. If you like the table and chair you sit on, you can simply buy them after your visit and take them home.

Always great here and great service that addresses all concerns and makes everything possible.

We dined here with friends and had a really nice evening in a cozy atmosphere with very good food and friendly service. A reservation is recommended as there are not too many seats in the restaurant.

Very cozy restaurant with very tasty German cuisine. Ate cold dog again after years😋

Great ambience, super nice staff, we can only recommend it, it's worth a visit

Our hop on/hop off guide recommended this cute place and we loved it. Just like Grandma’s house. Quaint surroundings and food was great.

We were looking for another place, got lost and ended up here hungry. We were more than surprised, generous portions and the fried potatoes were really fried potatoes. We haven't gotten better anywhere. The service was totally friendly, so we were completely satisfied.

a fun and iconic place worth visiting. The service is friendly, the food is OK, although the quality is not entirely convincing. Overall, we were happy to have been there.

The store is simply something very special for us, it was unique and we have never seen anything like it. The food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly, as has already been mentioned here, so great shops like this will be around for a long time. Thanks for the great roulades.

A nice place to drink coffee. The friendliness of the waiter was the icing on the cake.

A very chic restaurant with great food and friendly staff.

Old school German restaurant that is cash only. Some wait staff only speaks German. Which is fine, since we are in Germany, but be ready to point at the menu for what you want. Looks like there is a lot of history here. No AC, so it can get quite warm.

We were able to sit outside in summer temperatures. The food was plentiful and good and the service was friendly and quick. We would be happy to come back.

Been here twice so far. I love the shop and the people who work here. Please go there diligently everyone.

REQUIRED VISIT FOR EVERY CITY TOUR - BEST BREAKS LOCALLY AND ALSO FOR STRENGTHENING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WELCOME

I always think this restaurant is very nice

Everything is right, price performance, top food, super nice service and pure nostalgia. Always happy.😋👌👌

The food is at the level of a poor milk bar. A terrible interior - a stuffy storage room pretending to be a stylish living room. But very nice service.

We were in Dresden this weekend. A friend gave us the tip to stop here. The atmosphere was like my grandma's used to be, very rustic. The food was really tasty, good plain food. We were warmly welcomed and served. The cake also looked good, but unfortunately it didn't fit anymore ;). I would eat here again at any time. Thanks

Very nice service and the food was great, again at any time

A really good German restaurant.

This quaint restaurant is somewhat hidden in a small side street. Service very friendly, food super tasty 😋 It should be noted here that only cash payment is possible... just like "back then" 😂

I give 5 stars for the food - a short menu is an advantage - there is no reason to invent things since they are delicious home-made dishes. Perfect if you want to try German cuisine. 5 stars also for the waitress - the lady is nice, smiling, she will advise you if you don't really know what you are ordering 😉 The decor of the place is whatever you like - for someone the atmosphere may be great, while others will think it's a cluttered place. We were sitting outside, so it didn't matter. However, there are two minuses - payment only in cash, which we found out when we wanted to pay. It was very surprising, but ok, maybe there was a failure. Fortunately, there is an ATM nearby. After a while, it turned out that there was no failure, because we didn't receive a receipt, only the handwritten order and prices on a piece of paper. Therefore, I have great doubts about the honesty of the owner. Pity.

Very good home cooking. Unfortunately, drinks are expensive: I don't even pay 3dl of open rhubarb spritzer for €7 in Switzerland! Please correct the drink prices downwards!

A little journey back in time to my childhood, like my grandma, that's how I felt. The ambience and the food, like it was my childhood. We felt very comfortable and it tasted very good. Good home cooking, very lovingly prepared. THANK YOU, we'll be back.

It was like traveling back in time to grandma's living room! Very tasty food, just like grandma's 👵

Thank you for allowing us to eat with you. When we were with you you had schnitzel day. The schnitzel with fried potatoes, once with vegetables and once with mushrooms, were incredibly delicious. I ordered sauce to go with the vegetable schnitzel. That was also delicious. Lo and behold, in the middle of the tourist district, free of charge. Where else can you find something like that? In general, your prices are really fair. There really are still people who won't rip you off. You were very friendly, courteous and attentive. Then we exchanged a few private words. Really nice. We felt very comfortable with you. Your restaurant has a really rustic atmosphere. And we will recommend you. Kind regards from the Rhineland

The restaurant is very picturesque. It feels like you're eating in an antique store. The food is typical German and simple. They do not accept cards, only cash.

I'm really impressed, the staff is super nice, the decor is very nice and the food is simply delicious, I can't complain ☺️

The whole restaurant is full of “junk” furnishings. We thought we were traveling around 1960.

I definitely do not recommend it. Long wait for food (1 hour+) in a half-empty restaurant. Unpleasant service, does not speak English. Change of attachment without explanation. Payment in cash only. The constant beeping of the microwave from the kitchen is very unprofessional.

Were in Dresden at the weekend and discovered the Trödelschenke, food is so good, service is overwhelming, ambience a bit chaotic but interesting. Since we are often in Dresden, we recommend Café Antik, which has satisfied us in every respect over the years. The Trödelschenke should implement improvements in all important areas so that its reputation is as good as that of Café Antik.

It's been a long time since I've been to the Trödelschänke with my family. The service is very friendly, there was a game box for the child which was immediately explored with curiosity and the food is amazing. Like Grandma's. I can highly recommend the Eisbein :)

I can't comment on the food as we didn't get any, but the treatment from the staff was subpar. Unfortunately, this left such a lasting impression that we will never visit the restaurant again.

Price per dish around €20, we chose a bit at random since the menu was all in German and without any description of the dish. However, it is rich in flavor. Our low rating is due to the service, the lady who runs it makes no effort to communicate with the customer and practically doesn't even look at your face.

Mal was anderes als die vielen Restaurantketten in Dresden. Die Einrichtung ist vom Trödel, stimmig und irgendwie DDR Zeit. Das Essen gute Hausmannskost zu akzeptablen Preisen. Die Bedienung war freundlich.

A chance encounter while walking through Dresden. From the outside, it's very appealing for people who like things to be a little rowdy and nostalgic! The visit-to-Grandma act is carried out completely! Great! Nice hospitality and nice atmosphere with freshly tapped beer! I like it! For dinner there was soup, roulades and once aspic for the three of us. Everything tasted exactly how it should taste! Simply delicious! For dessert there was very good egg pie and cold dog. Also very fine! A great evening for us at the Trödelschänke!

20 minutes of waiting for the waitress, after approaching the bar and trying to place an order, the waitress still told us to wait and responded as if we were punished. I do not recommend.

5/31/24 the food was really bad. Burnt fried potatoes, bratwurst like a toddler, overcooked potatoes and Champion's sauce indefinable. Plus something like wine spritzer instead of wine. Never again

Nice pub, very good service, good food. Everything fits

The ambience and the outdoor area seem very inviting. The cake, however, looked and tasted thawed, which even the large mountain of whipped cream couldn't cover up. The service was abrupt and not particularly hospitable.

A restaurant with a touch of the past, excellent food just like grandma's, I highly recommend it, you can only pay in cash.

The first impression and reviews were great, decorated like a flea market, quaint and beautiful. We ordered drinks, water and beer which we received quickly. Then we ordered 4 meals and then .....1 hour and 4 minutes later the waitress came and told us food would be coming soon. She seemed very overwhelmed, which is probably why she took a smoke break at the other table. Then the food came 1 hour 15 minutes after ordering but unfortunately only 3 out of 4... strangely enough, the daughter's meatloaf was brought to the wrong table (probably someone I knew, just say it was a smoke break🧐🤔.) And if I hadn't had to go to the toilet I wouldn't have noticed that payment was only possible in cash. But the plus points were the food. Everything was bombastically delicious and special... a ray of hope... well the saying quality takes time applies here. Dresden Trödelschenke that was probably nothing.

I was recommended the restaurant by a friend. The atmosphere is very sweet, like you're visiting grandma. The food didn't quite remind me of grandma's (liver cheese with fried eggs and fried potatoes) but the dessert (cold dog) was very close. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and I think she took care of 6-7 tables alone, which today's waitresses can learn a thing or two from. Top. So if you're in the mood for German cuisine again, you've come to the right place.

Very very tasty food. German home cooking. Like grandma's, almost better. Prices acceptable and only recommended. We'll come back here to dine next time we're in town. Greetings to the team

Great atmosphere if you like nostalgia. We enjoyed food like before.

Auf google nach einen Restaurant in der Nähe des Hotels gesucht und dieses außergewöhnliches Lokal gefunden. Trotz dem Trödel-Look sitzt man sehr gemütlich und fühlt man sich in keinster Weise eingeengt. Das Personal war sehr nett und das Essen super lecker. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr gut. Die Leber war sehr gut und der marinierter Hering einer der besten, die ich je gegessen habe.

Ambiance fully lived up to its name. You really felt like you were at a flea market. The food could have been warmer and I don't remember a beefsteak with sauerkraut at all. I preferred to take it with red cabbage and got it after the second attempt. Our server was courteous and funny.

Ended up here by chance. Super nice atmosphere. Beautiful, nostalgic junk with lots of memories. You can't even eat because you're looking so much 😅. Very nice service, super delicious food. We'd love to come back.

I sat at the table to which the waiter escorted me for 10 minutes without any further attention to my person, while several people who came after me were served. The waiters passed by, stood nearby, but it was as if I didn’t exist. I don't like to give bad reviews, but this was a very unpleasant situation.

Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir zunächst länger nicht bemerkt. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne. Wir saßen aber auch draußen. Ansonsten kann ich nur Gutes berichten. Leckerer Kaffee, beste Eierschecke aller Zeiten, zügiger Biertransfer, sehr originelles Ambiente. Die Bedienung war nett und aufmerksam. Es waren, was ich als gutes Zeichen deute, auch viele Dresdner zu Gast. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ach, und es gab gut gekühltes, gezapftes Feldschlösschen Bier.

A very original café, it's a shame it won't be there much longer!

Terrible service. Cash payment only. They forget the orders. They are not Kinderfreundlich. They don't seem to like foreigners. And I could continue the list of negative things I can say about this place. Worst restaurant experience I had in Dresden. The only good thing about the place is the size of the portions.

I would like to send the owner to look for an ATM with such hospitality. They know that they are located in the tourist center of the city, not all tourists are used to carrying cash with them for a restaurant, like the Germans!!!

Super nice, unique atmosphere but unfortunately that was it. We were absolutely not happy with the food. I like good, down-to-earth home cooking, but unfortunately this didn't suit our taste at all. Both my food and my partner's were very oily. We weren't impressed with the taste either. Price performance is absolutely not right. When we placed our drink order, large drinks were brought to us (without further inquiry), even though they weren't even listed on the menu (neither size nor price). We were so shocked when we saw the prices on the bill. Absolutely overpriced. My partner didn't just have a hair in his food, but a whole clump. The waitress was visibly uncomfortable, she apologized and took the plate back to the kitchen. 20 seconds later she came back with the SAME plate. All they did was remove the tuft and put a dollop of new sauce on it. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! This is not how you treat paying guests. My partner then lost his appetite. Since he hardly touched his food, only half of the meal was charged.

Unique cozy atmosphere. Super tasty food, friendly service and more than fair prices. We recommend

I was in the junk shop with colleagues. We were thrilled. I felt reminded of Grandma & Grandpa's times. You should have seen it. I will definitely come back.

If you like a bit of nostalgia, this is the place for you! Cool atmosphere, delicious food, nice service! It's a shame/sad that you have to close!

Great atmosphere, nice service, good food.

Very cozy atmosphere, good home cooking and friendly staff. A real piece of jewelry.

Unique restaurant. Great story. Service was okay, unfortunately the food wasn't that great and some of it was cold. A pity. Unfortunately only payable in cash.

If you want to go on a nostalgic trip, this is the right place for you. The place is full of junk, you can't get enough of it and you're always discovering new little things. We found it very comfortable. The food was simple, tasty, good. The service was very friendly. You immediately felt like you were meeting people you knew. We really liked it and if we came to Dresden again, we would come here again.

The restaurant offers delicious food in a cozy grandma atmosphere and is full of fascinating exhibits. A highly recommended place for an unforgettable culinary experience!

I love this restaurant ♡ The food is so delicious and fresh. I've been there so many times and you find something new every time you visit!

Those were the days , a cool, cozy restaurant, with a homely atmosphere. Dishes are created here that are reminiscent of the old GDR times. It was something for the eye and taste buds. Perfect all around. We warmly recommend you.

Only cash payment possible, still contemporary today 🤔 Food and service good, you have to like the atmosphere 😺

Cozy vintage restaurant. Very cozy and delicious food. In my opinion, there are also the best curds here😋

Quark wedges are very tasty but unfortunately the decaf coffee tastes terrible, so you can put the €2 to better use..

Great restaurant... Made in GDR... great memories. Great menu and the food is delicious. Grandma's house punch is very tasty

Absolutely friendly welcome and service, the food was tasty, the ambience was simply great. We can really recommend it and will come back ourselves. It was really nice with you.

Here you feel like you are with your great-grandmother. The food is great and the price-performance ratio is great

Impressive. You are transported to the other world. The food is really tasty, you can taste handmade quality. The people are really cool about it.

The restaurant lives up to its name, for me it was too overloaded with “junk” sometimes less is more. The food is home cooking that fell short of my expectations, it lacked that certain something (perhaps interpreted in a more modern way). The service was good, the waiters attentive and friendly and the price was absolutely okay 👍.

It's a shame, we would have loved to eat here. According to Googlemaps it should be open, but unfortunately we found ourselves in front of closed doors and a note on the door saying it was closed on Monday ☹️ too bad... It looked really great from the outside.

Finally something different! Delicious food that tastes like something a German granny would make. Wonderful decor, great service, and fair prices. A few more vegan options would be great, but I’m still giving this place five stars because it excels at what it offers.

Nostalgic journey into the past, if you have a penchant for nostalgia, you definitely have to go.

Eat like a mother! That's the program here, nicely furnished restaurant with delicious dishes from mother's cookbook.

It couldn't be better or more original.

Absolutely quaint, cozy restaurant. Friendly service. The host is a primitive of a host. Always have a casual saying ready. It's a shame that one of the few German restaurants in Dresden has to close at the end of May. The visit is worth it. We'll definitely come back again. Steffi and Christian

Lovingly furnished "Trödelschänke", pleasant stay.

You feel like you're at grandma's home The concept is well thought out

Reservation not possible because no one responded to the online reservation and no one has ever answered the phone for 5 days

The food was very tasty. We didn't receive a detailed invoice, which makes me suspicious because of the reviews on other platforms, as the bill seemed very high to us.

Nice atmosphere and very good food.

[translation below] If you're looking for a frilly, original Saxon lodge in Dräsdn, you'll find it here. Here you can spend a wonderful amount of time with “een Scheelschn Heeßn”, “Guchn” and “woarmen Gerüschtn”. The Bilz soup is a blast, you know! 🥰 Off the dishes and in the same way as with grandma and great grandma, food and music are served - there is no way off the dish! That's a real joke! The waitress made a bit of a fuss to us, although he was otherwise very friendly. That would have been a little bigger, as good as the hot food tastes, you have to order two! I did it. I'm really enjoying myself... Rush gudd! [Translation High German] If you are looking for a real, original Saxon location in Dresden, you will find it here! This is a wonderful place to while away time with coffee, cake and warm dishes. The mushroom soup is amazing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Food and Mukkefukk (you have to try it, translating it doesn't help) are served on dishes and cups that you know from grandma or great-grandma - but be careful! Don't spill it on the tablecloth, this is original Plauner lace! The service wasn't in a good mood when we visited, but overall it was friendly. Maybe just tired. The cups could have been a little bigger, as the coffee tasted good, otherwise you'd be tempted to order 2, which is what I did. We'd love to come back. Really nice!
