Gaststätte Oma in Dresden

A lovely little and cozy restaurant. Typical German-Saxon food, just like Grandma used to make. I highly recommend it.

A wonderfully charming and lovingly decorated atmosphere, with lots of old things. Oilcloth tablecloths with little doilies, just like Grandma used to make. The food was just as delicious as Grandma's, with portions just as generous. Liver, Königsberger Klopse (meatballs), and even a bit of a lingering nostalgia factor 😱. Everything was just like it used to be 🎉.

Excellent service and superb food.

I love it and gladly make the long journey! ❤️ It's something you simply have to experience and enjoy.

It's a very pretty restaurant. The food was excellent, which I really liked. They also offered small plates with all the dishes. The service was very friendly 😊👍👍, and there wasn't a long wait for the food. You had to reserve a table; we went on a Tuesday, and the restaurant was packed, with many reservations.

A very nice restaurant with a nostalgic feel. Everything is decorated just like grandma's used to make. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended!

Dishes and ambience like grandma's👍👍

A restaurant that takes you back in time. Many small details from "Grandma's time" can be discovered. The food was very good, as was the service. We got a table even though we didn't have a reservation (but it's better to make a reservation, as it fills up quickly).

A very nice restaurant where the name says it all. It's like grandma's old living room, with beautiful accents and a lovingly designed interior. The food is also excellent, traditionally German, with a changing menu, yet you still get a taste of the East. It's a perfect fit, it tastes good, highly recommended.

A very authentic, sweet restaurant with super friendly and attentive service. The food is also delicious and highly recommended. Reservations are recommended.

We were looking for a classic restaurant. This one met our expectations perfectly. It's like grandma's day, but there aren't too many seats. You can sit downstairs or upstairs via the stairs. It's like being in your living room. The food was so delicious, fresh, and simply amazing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Really pleasant. Highly recommended; we'd love to come back! 👍🏼

Visit on Sunday, October 5, 2025 During our stay in Dresden, with a hotel in the 'Cotta' district, where Grandma also lives, we spontaneously stopped in without a reservation and were lucky. Despite the early hour (around 4:00 p.m.), we got the last available table, as all the others were reserved and there are only a limited number of tables anyway (ground floor/first floor). We were truly lucky with the Gaststätte Oma (Grandma's Restaurant). Before our vacation, I had researched a selection of restaurants/inns in Dresden where we could eat, but I wasn't sure it would be as nice and, above all, delicious. You are literally transported back to the good old days. As soon as you enter, you are visibly greeted by Grandma, and the interior of the restaurant is a veritable treasure trove for antique collectors. The only minor problem my partner encountered was being able to read the map, which was printed in the old script. Order: > Green soda, 0.33l bottle for €3.40 > Red soda, 0.33l bottle for €3.40 > Pumpkin and carrot soup with roasted pumpkin seeds (small) for €5.30 > Kasper Schlich's pork goulash with apple red cabbage and Bohemian dumplings for €21.10 (regular) and €16.80 (small) > Homemade quark balls with apple sauce for €7.90 > ​​Grandma's soft ice cream, frozen in a cup (various flavors) > Mango vanilla for €3.00 > Espresso (small) for €3.30 > Blackcurrant liqueur, 4cl, for €5.10 > Elbsandsteiner beer, 4cl, for €5.40 Summary: World class... I can't say more... I'd go back anytime... a little gem with a great culinary enrichment. Thank you so much... :-) We will remember you fondly :-)

We spontaneously stopped by for the first time today. We received a very friendly welcome and managed to get a table without a reservation. However, we were advised that next time we should call ahead and make a reservation. The staff were polite and attentive the entire time. The food was excellent, and we will definitely return when we're in the area.

Great restaurant... Excellent service and, above all, the food... tastes amazing... I'd love to go again...

Many thanks to the entire team for this evening. We came here quite spontaneously this evening, and what can I say? With such a wonderful atmosphere, great service, and wonderful food, there were naturally no seats available at first. But after a short wait, we were allowed to sit at a table. It really is like eating at grandma and grandpa's in the old days, so we will definitely be back. Huge portions at fair prices. !!!!! Be sure to call ahead and reserve a table, otherwise you might miss out if there are no seats left!!!!!

Recommended well-cooked dinner, lunch etc., remember to book a table in advance. The place is small and many had to be turned away. The food is often made from old recipes. Another plus in the menu is the option to choose a normal portion or a small portion. My female companion chose a small and was satisfied with the food.

Super nice people, small and a bit hidden but great cuisine with German food, price/performance ratio is right and the portions are plentiful even for men, we enjoyed it there and can only recommend it

It was very nice here. Pleasant atmosphere, delicious food. Fair prices. It was a very nice evening. Thank you

The fried liver was excellent 👍🏻 I will be happy to come back.

The visit to "Grandma's" was truly worthwhile. We had reserved a table in advance. The small, cozy atmosphere is simply wonderful. Everything is the kind you wouldn't want at home anymore, but still the same as your grandmother's. Simply fantastic. The food was excellent. The service was very friendly and quick. Requests were fulfilled without any problems. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you for that.

I stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant by chance. You walk in and immediately feel at home. It's lovingly decorated, and the people who work there radiate warmth. The food is also incredibly delicious. We'll be back!

Everything was actually good... I expected the food to be a bit better... but it wasn't bad at all... The price/performance ratio was also good... Nothing to complain about.

Delicious food, friendly, approachable staff who are happy to accommodate special requests. Great atmosphere, just like at Grandma's.

Wow, small, great, super friendly. Even though they were fully booked, they had a soft spot for us and let us stay. The appetizer soups (cheese soup and pumpkin soup) were worth coming here alone. Google recommended it, and we can't help but do the same. Service was excellent on the first floor, too. The friendly young lady was up and down the stairs so often, RESPECT. Main courses like grandma's would have made, generous portions, perfectly seasoned. No frills. The dessert was the perfect way to round off the evening. It's been at least 20 years since I had cold turkey. And it was a trip back in time to my grandma. Thank you

Really tasty Rostbrät and cosy atmosphere! It was pleasure to be here! :)

A lovely, quaint, cozy restaurant. Large portions that are all delicious, and excellent value for money. The service was also very friendly.

Very good, best German food in Dresden

All in all, very good. Unfortunately, the schnitzel didn't come with any sauce as standard. This made the dish a bit dry overall – I'm not sure why it was served with just potatoes and carrots. Otherwise, the taste was good. The portions were also very large.

Sensational food, just like Grandma used to make. Everything was just like Grandma used to make! Thank you for the wonderful time!

No parking. Service is good. Food is okay, but not great. Orders are accepted by phone. Local attraction.

A rustic ambiance but comfortably furnished. You feel like you're at Grandma's. Friendly service is a top priority here.

Delicious food! I recommend it.

A quaint restaurant with delicious food. The overall ambiance is very appealing, and the service is excellent. The overall package is perfect. We'll definitely be back!

Very good classic German cuisine with fast and extremely friendly service. The ambiance is pleasant and inviting. The staff's warmth is particularly noticeable; you immediately feel welcome. The prices are a bit higher, and the menu is a bit difficult to read for some guests due to the old German script. Nevertheless, the great overall experience clearly outweighs any drawbacks. Highly recommended!!!

Great location, I felt like I'd been transported back a few decades. The food was amazing. Super delicious and very well-balanced. I highly recommend it.

Stopped in on short notice. Good menu with everything your heart could desire from grandma's dishes. The food was delicious, the service was very fast and friendly, and the value for money was excellent. The atmosphere was also cozy. We'd love to come back. Thank you.

Wonderfully delicious...eating like mom used to make. There's nothing to complain about with the food; they still cook according to tradition (and learned it from grandma). We would have liked another beer, but the waiters were just too busy. I found the prices a bit steep, but the portions were filling enough, so the price was absolutely justified. If you like really delicious, good German food...you can still get it here!

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. You'll feel right at home here.

A friend recommended this restaurant to me, and it has now become my new favorite restaurant in Dresden. The server was courteous and friendly. The restaurant was lovingly decorated and cozy. The prices were reasonable, and the food was excellent. Both the main course and the slice of cake afterward were excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Today, after a few years, I'm writing an updated review. I don't want to waste too much time on the food today, as the quality and taste have remained consistently excellent over the years. It tastes like Grandma's, the portions are just like Grandma's, and who knows, maybe Grandma's cooking here. My special thanks and praise today go to the staff. Always very attentive and friendly, and always with a funny and quick quip (especially Dennis deserves special mention here). All of you make guests feel welcome in an exceptionally comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant business is certainly not an easy job, and in the over 30 years you've been in business, you've certainly experienced a lot. It's all the more wonderful that you live a consistent lifestyle and remain true to your concept. You're doing everything you do exactly right. I hope to be able to come by for your roast beef often to enjoy your warmth. ❤️Thank you for everything!❤️

A very nice, rustic restaurant. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. However, you should make a reservation.

Very nice, very tasty, very friendly, we'll be back!

A very atmospheric place with good food, the only downside: no parking

We had a delicious meal (truly like grandma's), were warmly welcomed, and were attentively looked after. Absolutely recommended!

Absolutely. Very pleasant atmosphere.

The food was delicious. The smaller portions are also great. Traditional, delicious food. Finished with a wonderful espresso. It's lovely to sit outside in good weather. But it's a real shame, because there's so much beauty to see inside. Friendly service. Reservations are recommended in the evenings!

We found it spontaneously and it was an absolute stroke of luck. We were looked after very kindly, and the food was delicious and plentiful.

Very good quality at a fair price. When we're in Dresden, we'll go back.

Very good. Food and service perfect.

Friendly and attentive service. The food is regional and very tasty.

A super nice, rustic restaurant with delicious food. They offer small and large portions, sweet and savory dishes. We eat there several times a year. Reservations are highly recommended. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, just like Grandma's house. We highly recommend it.

A fantastic, witty menu featuring only old-school recipes. But perfectly prepared. The chicken was very tender, the schnitzel delicious. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, fair prices, and very, very tasty food [home cooking]

Simply awesome. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Dresden.

Highly recommended! The food is truly delicious and fresh. The service is super fast and incredibly friendly. I can definitely recommend it!

Feier in kleinem Kreis, sehr gemütlich

Decorated with love and care Fresh and homemade food Friendly service Lovely ambiance

We're on vacation in Dresden and saw or were recommended this restaurant on Instagram 👍 and what can we say? "The food was amazing, really like grandma's, good old German cuisine 😁. Simply wonderful. We sat outside ☀️ and felt comfortable, and the service was also first-class. Megaaaa restaurant 👍 worth a 3, 5, 7, 9 visits.

Delicious food, friendly and fast service 🌞😃👍

The food and service were excellent. The taste was just as you'd expect.

Delicious food, large portions, friendly staff

A little special highlight. The food is very good. Mostly very suitable for connoisseurs of home-cooked food. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. Service was a bit slow, so be sure to allow some time.

Delicious, fresh food in a lovingly decorated house. A truly wonderful and highly recommended restaurant. Thanks to the team

Very nice interior, as if time had stood still. Only the modern cash register system doesn't fit. :-) The food was also very tasty, and the service was pleasantly attentive. Card payments (including Visa) were generally no problem and welcome, but payments with virtual cards like Google Pay aren't possible. The card must be inserted. The terminal would probably support it, but displays the error message "please use chip." Apparently, it was deliberately configured to prevent contactless payments. A shame.

Beautiful, nostalgic decor, nothing to complain about. Unsuitable for gourmets, too much cheap pork. My grandmother had porcelain plates, and this brown ceramic crockery is so unappealing.

Great restaurant with excellent comfort food. Just like grandma's. Incredibly great host.

This restaurant is a gem in Dresden. The garden is a wonderful place to sit when the weather is nice, and they serve delicious food and cool drinks.

Solyanka is very tasty. Suckling pig is delicious, but the sauce is a bit of a deduction. It's certainly a matter of taste.

We'd be happy to come back on our next visit to Dresden. It was simply delicious.

Great, rustic ambiance, wow. Very good food and the service was equally good. The Gaststätte Oma was an experience.

Great restaurant with good, home-style cooking. The portions are very generous, and it tastes just like Grandma's. Grandma herself was there, and she can vouch for that. The ambiance is also chic.

Delicious food, unique atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, a journey back in time to grandma's life 👍🏻👍🏻

We really enjoyed the service, the food, and the ambiance. A place to relax, enjoy, and repeat. Thank you very much💯

Once again, I was looking for a nice restaurant to escape the crowded city center... And once again, it was worth it 👍🏻🤩 The name says it all! Everything is perfect: the name, the menu, the decor, the food... Absolutely beautiful! And above all, delicious!!! Thank you for the brief escape from everyday life and the immersion in wonderful memories of my childhood! It's wonderful that places like yours exist! 🫶🏻 We wish you always a full restaurant, with many friendly and appreciative guests. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who visits or will visit Dresden and the surrounding area.

An extremely beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff! The food, as the name suggests, tastes like grandma's, if not a little better ;)

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

I highly recommend it, but you have to pre-order! The food, service, and the beautiful decor are all worth seeing! A trip back to childhood is guaranteed! Old TV shows include Arthur the Angel, Wolf and Hare, and more. Highly recommended! Good value for money.

Very fine restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service!

Highly recommended, large portion of food and really great service

We ate there based on a recommendation and were not disappointed. The food was like grandma's, really delicious in a great atmosphere.

Very tasty, down-to-earth food in a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A wonderful restaurant, decorated with charm and a smile. The food is very good, as are the drinks and the advice about the drinks. The ambiance is quaint and cute. It's great that even Pittiplatsch is there! 🤗The only downside is the parking situation. It's a bit complicated, especially for tourists. (There's a Lidl with a large parking lot 100 meters away) - (we shamelessly used it...) Thank you for the good and friendly service and, of course, the excellent food.

Advance reservations are recommended, as it gets very busy, especially on weekends. The food portions are available in small and large sizes. The food was delicious, and the service was very attentive and friendly.

It was our first time here. There's nothing to complain about. The food and service are excellent. The atmosphere takes you back in time. Just like grandma used to make.

An extraordinary ambiance, reminiscent of a journey back in time, meets top-notch cuisine. The goulash with red cabbage and dumplings was a delight. Fresh soft-serve ice cream for dessert... It tasted amazing, and the service matched it. The portion arrived piping hot from the kitchen and was anything but small. I wish you bon appetit for some German home cooking. It might be a good idea to reserve a table in advance. To the restaurant team... We'll be back soon. I promise 😀

It delivers what it promises. German cuisine, just like grandma used to make. One drawback: the toilet is upstairs. Wheelchair users should use the restroom beforehand. It's available at the nearby ARAL gas station on the B6.

A cozy atmosphere like at Grandma's The Gaststätte Oma (Grandma's Restaurant) is an extremely cozy restaurant where you immediately feel at home, almost like at Grandma's house. The food and drinks were exceptionally delicious, and they offer both small and large portions, so there's something for every appetite. The service was very friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back.

Definitely! Traditional cuisine, very friendly people, and a beautiful ambiance

Just like grandma's - highly recommended! The food is super delicious. The service is also super friendly. We'll be back tomorrow. 😀

Delicious food like grandma's, it's cozy and the service is friendly. 😊😋👍

Grandma is always worth a visit!

The staff is very friendly, and the food is good, home-style. The decor is rustic. The price/performance ratio is good.

Question to everyone: Where can I park with friends who are using a walker? Thank you.

Greetings from Switzerland, it was a lovely evening with you, great food, lovely staff, highly recommended..

My real grandmother 👵 My dearest Oma 👵

Without a reservation, you won't be able to get anything done here during rush hour – and there's a reason for that... Solyanka for starters, a hearty roasted pork for the main course, and Quarkkeulchen (curd dumplings) with apple sauce for dessert. Everything was delicious, no complaints, great service! Absolutely recommended for anyone who enjoys good, home-style cooking.

Very nice there...everything is right

Food like Grandma's at home. Decor just like Grandma's. Only the service was faster than Grandma's. I'd love to come back here. Beer garden available. Parking on the street. Service was very friendly.

The Oma restaurant has a rustic decor, a bit dark, but nothing dramatic. There's also outdoor seating, and reservations are recommended. The menu features many great classic dishes, and all the dishes I saw (at neighboring tables) looked truly inviting and delicious. The goulash with macaroni was okay... nothing more, nothing less; it's a matter of taste. The service was friendly and quick... as were the drinks and food.
