Fährgarten in Dresden

And very important - clean toilets!!!

Very nice staff, and the decoration is a dream. Would love to come back.

Yesterday we rented a rink for curling. We had a great introduction with Jaqueline and we all had a lot of fun. The atmosphere is really really nice. The entire team is very friendly. Thanks for the great evening and see you soon 👋🏽

Yesterday we had a party in the Fährgarten. It was really great. Great food, good service and therefore only recommended.

Simply an experience whether in summer or winter. Food great, service great. Great decoration design for Easter/Christmas! You simply have to experience it. Only recommended!

very friendly staff. were surprised when I asked if dogs were allowed with me

I just stopped for a mulled wine and it was delicious..😁

Super delicious food with a direct view of the Elbe. Best location to combine your food with nice weather. Big compliments to the chef. The pumpkin soup is highly recommended.

Enjoy a view of the Elbe in the bright autumn sunshine with a cool drink in your hand. The ferry garden is ideal for this! Always happy 😊

We have been coming here for years, it is and remains our favorite restaurant. The staff also thinks about our dogs, they always ask if water is needed. Absolutely recommended in summer and winter.

Great location on the Elbe, friendly service and with a direct playground and large orchard next door

The Fährgarten always shines with its great location and delicious food! Prices have now gone up a bit here too, but all in all that's understandable and reasonable. There were even live broadcasts here for the European Championships

Food prices are completely overpriced

Very nicely located on the Elbe. Great view and good food.

It was very nice, the food was good and the host was also very nice. I can only recommend it

Delicious ... Always nice employees so far.. Reasonably priced (good portion)

Sorry, you've been a guest there for a long time but the quality of the service has deteriorated a lot but the prices have risen significantly. €36 for 4 400ml Fasbrausen and 1x 400ml Cola from the bottle without spray and lukewarm as well as 1 bottle of Radler are already steep from the unfriendly older cashier to remain silent

Nice excursion restaurant right on the Elbe. Plenty of tables and seats even for larger groups. Food freshly prepared. Beer (and) soda cold. Prices moderate. Friendly service. Top

The beer was delicious. Feel free to sell over a quarter with foam.

The beer poured ends two fingers below the calibration mark. And the impossible servant actually explains: “foam is beer too”. This is fundamentally correct, but very wrong in the catering industry. At least there was the rest of the glass from the stale remaining beer from the tap that was poured onto it. The next day we decided on bottled beer. You have to spend a lot of time at the drinks counter and have a lot of fun. The food is completely ok for a beer garden but not cheap. The lady at the local desk was very friendly.

The food was simple but good (self-service) it was great to linger right on the Elbe, there was a lovely beer garden.

Good to enjoy a few delicious beers

Quite nice for drinking beer, the food is inedible, I'd rather avoid it

Nice place to sit right on the Elbe. We only had one beer here.

A nice location and cozy beer garden or seating. Unfortunately, when we ate we were given warmed up mash/fried potatoes and we were treated rather unfriendly at the checkout. At least down at the grill. It is recommended for comfortable sitting.

Beautiful garden for children and adults

Sitting by the water in the sunshine, under large umbrellas on the green banks of the Elbe... What could go wrong? Nothing with us. Food good, selection of drinks good, toilets decent...

We enjoyed the view and the snack

Delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere with the Elbe in the background.

Directly on the Elbe. Great location, great prices 🙄 Better just have a drink... The food is extremely expensive and not really tasty. Lots of fat and therefore rather poor in taste...

Nice environment right by the river, hearty potato soup. Excellent pancakes. Right next to the bike path

Always tasty, always good. Sometimes full 😅

A beautiful place on the Elbe, enjoy Dresden's flair...

Very nice atmosphere located directly on the Elbe. There are plenty of places and you can also use the lawn right in front to sit. The prices are already steep but everyone wants to survive. If you go on a bike trip on the Elbe, stopping there is highly recommended.

Unsalted fries plus small bowl = €5 Yes, the Fährgarten has to live on something. But a little salt or nice faces (without rolling your eyes if you want to order something during the live performance) should work

A very popular beer garden. Here you can still get delicacies from the grill even after 11 p.m. during the season. But the prices are a bit ambitious. The staff exudes a good mood.

Very expensive which does not correspond to the quality.

Fast food - chips with mayo or ketchup, and a sausage-in-a-bun type of place. So nothing fancy, but clean, quick to serve, and all done cheerfully. Lots of locals but still did not feel overly full, even on a nice day. Lots to watch on the river whilst sipping on good beers , and of course a very easy stroll from the ferry.

Just lovely There is a wide selection of food, from classic to special. Friendly and above all in a good mood staff.

Super nice beer garden right on the Elba. Good grill and also vegetarian food at reasonable prices.

It's difficult to pay €6 for a portion of fries when it felt like there were only 3 fries on it and they only tasted like old fat.

Beautiful Saxon beer garden. Delicious beer and delicious food.

Haven't been there for a long time. But again this week at the beginning of August 2024. Went on a dinghy and there was a meeting and exit. The food is rustic (currywurst/fries, tarte flambée, etc.), prices are relatively hearty (e.g. currywurst fries €11.90), but there is also beer and shandy (half a liter around €5). It was still nice, just great on the Elbe to end the day.

Nice corner right on the Elbe. Heart, what more could you want? Best reached by bike.

The prices here are underground. A not quite full beer 0.4! is sold for 4.50 euros, which makes 11.25 euros per measure and 5.63 euros for half a liter. And that’s self-service! Conclusion: Puller, profit is what counts here, even when there is a lot of hype or a flea market character. Incredibly outrageous.

No parking, no table service, food overpriced. Only a few tables have a good view. When it rains you get wet even under the umbrellas. The operators don't like guests

Very tasty food, great service, beautiful view! 💖🌼🙏🌷

Relax in front of the picturesque backdrop of Dresden's castles.

Super friendly service with a great view of the Elbe and a lot of cosiness...

Food underground. The tarte flambée with beetroot and goat cheese tastes like vomit. Beer prices overpriced. Location great

Unfortunately I have to correct my previous review... I had to complain again. Drinks are way below standard, staff is unfriendly and prices have risen enormously. Everything is getting more expensive, but that's where I expect very good service! We always loved being here, but not anymore from today - it's a shame!

Great place to stay, alone, with family or friends. No matter, it's great here. Eat, drink whatever you want. The service is very nice. Neatly kept facility for everyone to feel comfortable. Simply a great place in Dresden. Right now I recommend the Ice Cappuccino, very tasty made with soft ice cream.

very tasty food, beautiful view. I don't recommend soda

Here you can look for steamers with a cool blonde or a cup of coffee with delicious cake. Highly recommended! Also for cyclists.

Well, everything is right here... friendly, nice staff. It's good to sit here and especially with a cool blonde 🍺😊...

Top. Friendly and joking staff who enjoy serving. View of the Elbe was fantastic. And the food was also very good.

Have been to the Fähgarten several times. The atmosphere is always very nice on the Elbe. But the prices are slowly increasing for a self-service beer garden. A portion of fries €5.50, bratwurst €4.90, pizza coarse €14 and tarte flambée €12 etc. And to be honest, the bratwurst wasn't that great. Food and drinks go quickly at the beer cart downstairs, and at the entrance you queue for 30 minutes for a portion of sweet potatoes for €6.40. When I said as a small token of attention that my beer was now warm, I was told that they had brought it here. Sorry, but that was the last straw. Organized chaos reigns there. The only thing that goes well there is the drinks. Have a beer 🍺 OK. But we definitely won't be eating here anymore. It's a shame that everything turned out this way 😪.

We have been regular guests here for years, mainly in the summer because of the lovely atmosphere. But that will probably be it now...since the price-performance ratio is absolutely no longer right. I think the prices for a beer garden are slowly going up here. Especially with comparisons to the previous year... You can clearly see it in older recisions from a few months ago. Now a Radeberger 0.4l €4.90...Bratwurst €4.90...French fries ketchup (papy) €5.50...and it's in a beer garden with a queue. Every beer filled under the calibration mark... So in a restaurant with service I sometimes pay the same price or even less. I'm very disappointed and will probably look for another beer garden location. It's a shame...but I don't think it's a good idea to use power to make up for the past time. Especially not at the expense of the guest...

Very nice beer garden on the Elbe with delicious food and acceptable prices. Seating partially covered. More or less full depending on the weather.

4.90 for a bratwurst is no longer appropriate... unfriendly service at the drinks stand... sorry, but there are too many beer gardens where you can still go and relax

I visit here once a week in the summer on my bike tour to sip a Pale Ale Red Ale, and recently a Maibock - great atmosphere. I decided on the spur of the moment to watch the European Championship quarter-final between Germany and Spain: big praise for the team, from tickets to organization and resilience. You've got it under control - hats off...

Price-performance simply doesn't fit. I wouldn't go there again.

“We broadcast every European Championship game” and then in the middle of the Portugal vs. France tournament the plug is pulled without notice and the television is taken away because you want to call it a day… We haven't experienced anything like that before. Staff is super nice and quick, food and drinks are also good, although quite expensive.

Watching the ferry and steamer is great for the kids. Unfortunately, the staff always seemed extremely stressed, even though not even a third of the seats were occupied.

The Fährgarten is ideally located on the Elbe cycle path and I stop here occasionally. There are plenty of places to eat, drink and sit. Sometimes it takes a little longer at the self-service counter and you end up almost standing on the bike path and have to be careful not to get knocked over;-)) The selection of food is plentiful for small and large appetites. Unfortunately, so do the prices. There is a deduction for me. For a portion of braised vegetables and steak you pay €18, although the price of the steak at over €8 is, in my opinion, very cheeky. Otherwise, the vegetables were freshly warmed up again in the pan and tasted good too. All in all, you can relax very well in the beer garden near Elb. If you like it more cozy and romantic, this busy location is not the best choice. We'd love to come back

A very nice place to relax with good food. I like to be here and at any time of the year.

Public viewing not recommended!!! Waiters like sleeping pills... Waiting time for drinks at least 30 minutes, if not longer. Just go somewhere else.

Simply worth recommending! Pure enjoyment!

Despite many people, relaxation on the Elbe

The food was amazing!!! The people are very kind and funny, always clean, and a perfect place to watch the euro Uefa games....

Nice place on the water for a nice meal and drink. After we were chased away from the outdoor bar by an ill-mannered man when we thought we could order there, but apparently were ten minutes early, we ordered currywurst with fries from the friendly staff across the street. The food was mediocre.

The location on the Elbe is very nice, but with free parking it is rather difficult. You have to order and pick up your own food and drinks. However, it is cleared away by an employee. There are wooden tables and wooden chairs or beer table sets. The selection of food and drinks is good, but not necessarily cheap. Especially since many dishes are “quick meals”.

Were there by chance, the food was great, there was plenty of food and drinks on offer, the prices were ok. 👍

The prices are simply too high. €4.50 for a bottle of beer is too much. Maximum €3.50. Freshly tapped would be borderline, but you have to spend a lot of time washing the glass, tapping, etc. I'm really wavering between 2 and 3 stars.

Went there spontaneously to give the child some fresh air and exercise. Food was good, drink prices were reasonable, ambience was excellent. Sitting comfortably, watching ships and boats on the Elbe, experiencing friendly staff... all of this can be done in a relaxed manner in the Fährgarten.

Bohemian dumplings for €13.90 with little goulash and undercooked red cabbage

Great, even despite Corona. Ingenuity must be rewarded! 👍 👏 Even long after Corona, it's always worth visiting! 😊👍🍻

A great location, I can only recommend spending a lovely evening in a cozy atmosphere, always happy

Great beer garden. Very price intensive

Nice on the water, drinks and food not expensive

Great food, the service was very friendly and on the ball and the whole thing right on the Elbe

Unique ambience, Very friendly and fast service. Can just be recommended. Keep it up. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty drinks and good quality food. Extremely friendly, competent and professional staff.

Mega evening in the Fährgarten. Great, friendly, service. The food exceeded our expectations. We'll be back, 100%

A great restaurant with a beer garden. Ideal for excursions. Staff very good. Very clean. Food and drinks top. We will definitely visit there again on my next trip

Great ambience, great service and very good food... I can only recommend the Fährgarten...

I'm thrilled, very nice beer garden, wonderful ambience, very friendly service and I can only recommend the spare rips, very tasty

Beautiful beer garden with a wide range of drinks, charcoal grill/food and cakes right on the Elbe cycle path. Just the thing for a break.

Rip off!!!!!!! €4.90 for 0.4 beers!!! That's €6.12 for half a liter!!! Outrageous!!!!

Dear management, We went for a walk along the Elbe and came to the Johannstadt ferry garden. We decided to have a little something to eat and chose Thuringian Rostbratwurst in a roll, even though the price of 4.90 euros is very sporty. But the rude awakening came first. The three men at the grill, where only one had a small plan, seemed completely overwhelmed. After a while we finally got the three Thuringian grilled sausages, even though we were the only ones at the grill. There was great joy but unfortunately it continues. The Thuringian Rostbratwurst in a bun completely covered with mustard. But probably only because you are distracted by the two or three day old roll and the COLD grilled sausage. Unfortunately the first time and the last time, pure rip-off.

We like to go to the beer garden... but today it wasn't good at all... Currywurst with fries, 1 grilled sausage with a roll (the roll wasn't fresh) and a dark beer cost €21... that Currywurst didn't taste good at all, the fries tasted old......so it's definitely not worth the money,...the staff could have been a bit friendlier......very, very sad.... ...

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Dresden. You sit directly on the Elbe and can watch the excursion steamers go by while you chill out. The open grill, which also sells directly, is always well stocked and tasty. What sets this beer garden apart is that you can pay by card.

Great view, nice quiet location, lots of seating, nice staff.

Half a liter of Hefeweizen €5.50!!!!

clean, tasty and wonderful view! there are different dishes, beer and just to eat!

Not a bad beer garden, good choice of meat dishes and beer, also for vegans there are baked vegetables. There are desserts and lemonades for children. On the banks of the Elbe, you can buy beer and snacks and sit on the grass and enjoy the view. In the evening beautifully lighted garlands.

Always worth a visit! Casual atmosphere, beautifully located!

Nice location right on the Elbe. Many different seating options, small selection of pizzas, burgers etc. and drinks. Very comfortable to sit here.

Busy, good selection of food for a beer garden, great view, quick staff

Super delicious food. Compared to other beer gardens on the Elbe, really good and tasty food.
