Luisenhof, Dresden in Dresden

Everything is perfect, but you have to take a lot of time to eat.

Let’s start with the part we liked. The food is if great quality and excellent, especially for the moderate price. The view from the balcony over Dresden is simply stunning and well worth the drive. Now the bad part. The service is abhorrent. Waitresses are somehow snobbish and arrogant and I am not sure why we did to receive such poor service. We had to wait long times for simply getting drinks and when asking multiple times (after waiting more than 20 min) for it we didn’t receive any apologies or quicker service. I have a hard time recommending this otherwise really good restaurant just because we somehow felt being treated like third class citizens.

Just nice to enjoy good cuisine and very good service.

The best view over the Elbe and for me the best bowl I've eaten in a long time. Any time!!!

The balcony of Dresden is a must for every visitor to Dresden.

Great view over Dresden, unfortunately no waitress came to take an order, guests who had ordered waited ages for their drinks. Left again after 30 minutes. Too bad.

Highly recommended, TOP view over Dresden. The food was very good and the gentleman in service was super friendly, professional and accommodating and responded to our wishes in the best possible way. The team made a great impression. We were very excited. Price was still reasonable. We'll be back!

A wonderful restaurant with a wonderful view over Dresden. The food tastes excellent and the service staff are very friendly.

Great food, beautiful view...but it took too long

A very nice restaurant with an attractive ambience. Great service and delicious food. Gladly again

Everything is very chic, the view is great - there is a lot of trouble at the weekend, which is why it is difficult to get a place with a view and be able to enjoy your meal in peace.

Great view from the terrace. Food was OK.

Very nice staff, great service, the food tasted very good, very nicely prepared, very nice dining room, a great view. Definitely worth a visit, even for vegans

We were guests at the Luisenhof after making a reservation the evening before. Finding a parking space is a bit difficult, ideally you park further ahead, in front of the dead end that leads to the Luisenhof on the left. We were welcomed promptly and served attentively and friendly. From the greetings from the kitchen, to the wild garlic soup, the excellent main courses and the delicious desserts, also from the local kitchen, we were thrilled. Being able to enjoy the panoramic view over the city, including the sunset, of course gives the Luisenhof a very special shine. The toilets were very well maintained, you even have the option to disinfect the toilet - we have rarely seen that before - high praise! We felt well looked after here and are already looking forward to our next visit!

It is a very good restaurant with a beautiful view of the city.

Despite having a reservation, we waited forever until someone took pity on us and brought us to a table. The food was good, but not outstanding for the price. The view from up there is really beautiful and worthwhile.

Great view of Dresden, pleasant furnishings. If it's very busy, you'll have to wait a while to be served. The menu offers something for everyone. From classics based on GDR cuisine to modern dishes. A visit is worth it.

Very nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. There's even a cozy corner for changing and breastfeeding your baby. A great view of the Blue Wonder. We'll be back.

Photo worthy location with an overview of Dresden.

Great location, good food. High prices. Unfortunately, the staff is completely untrained and not particularly friendly. Recommendable at this point.

Don't go there if you're hungry. Waited 45min for a soup and 1h30min for a goulash. When asked the manager, she said it's normal, because the restaurant is quite busy (simple ':sorry' would be enough) . the food was good. Waited another half an hour for the bill

Very tasty food and friendly atmosphere. The view over DD is great. One drawback... the parking space... not enough. So take the funicular

Fast and friendly service, clean and well-kept rooms, great location, easily accessible via the funicular, barrier-free

Delicious ice cream on the terrace with a great view over Dresden

Great view of the city, friendly service. We did wait a bit long for our food, though. But it was a Saturday and the place was busy. The food was excellent, and the wines were good and regional.

Very nice place, unfortunately the service and food is not as good as the view.

Great location with a beautiful view! Delicious food, justified price, quick preparation and extremely nice staff (we had the trainee in his 3rd year of training)! We'd love to come back!

Very fine restaurant with a beautiful view of the surrounding area of ​​Dresden. It's not just the view of Dresden that is special from here. The restaurant also offers a wide range of food and drinks. Friendly service and the offering is very nice. We really liked it and can only recommend it.

Tasty food of good quality, friendly and courteous (never intrusive) service staff, great view - you definitely have to recommend this restaurant with this service! There was a negative "misfire" in December - this was resolved immediately and to the complete satisfaction of the operator and generously resolved - that's exactly how you imagine service when, unfortunately, something didn't work out or (unintentional) errors occurred! CLASS!

Spontaneous reservation possible, delicious cakes and ice cream sundaes, very well suited to families with children (changing table, quiet breastfeeding option, children's toilet, play area with a view), friendly service, breathtaking view over Dresden. Thank you !

Delicious food with a great view

The ambience was great, the service was very friendly, but despite there being little going on it wasn't always there when you needed it. We had 6 different dishes, 4 of which were really unremarkable. These were the pork schnitzel, the pork knuckle from the Ossikarte, the two pike-perch fillets and the Grützwurst again from the Ossikarte. All immaculate. However, the most expensive dishes were not worth 5 stars. The ostrich steak, regardless of the fact that it was the smallest portion, was not medium, it was medium well. It was still tasty, but you expect something. The ox cheeks were great, but the truffled mashed potatoes on the side were not. It wasn't truffled but covered in truffle butter. As a result, some places had no truffle taste and others had too strong a truffle taste. The biggest problem here was that the butter flowed onto the vanilla carrots. There was nothing vanilla-like anymore, everything was truffle-like. In the end it's little things, it was really tasty but it's not 5 stars

A restaurant with a magnificent view. Despite the rather upscale atmosphere, they are very child-friendly and considerate in this respect - that's not a given! The opinion of our mixed-age group: The food was very good, but not outstanding, hence a star deduction in this category. All in all a 5 star rating - we will definitely be back 😊

Great terrace with a wonderful view of Dresden, quick service, great food. You just have to go there.

Waiting times of over an hour for food are out of the question. In addition, there was service at the table, which made it clear that the time was too demanding. I understand that having company and preparing brunch at the same time during opening hours is challenging, but that has nothing to do with respect for the guest. Especially not in this price range. It's a shame, we've been regulars so far Experienced on February 8, 2025

It was just good and always worth a trip 🤠

the food cannot keep up with the ambience and prices

After 75 minutes of waiting for dinner, we had it packed. After another 15 minutes the time had finally come. The warm food was then tried at home. It probably would have tasted a little better there. It didn't blow us away. Ambiance and view is great. The play area is too small for such a long waiting time. Then the short ones get a little annoyed.

It's worth a trip and when the weather is nice there is still a wonderful view over Dresden.

A great restaurant with an incredibly beautiful view of the Blue Wonder and Dresden as a whole...

Great view of Dresden especially when the evening falls

As always, we went to the Ossikarte at the beginning of the year 😋. The knuckle and the grützwurst a poem. The ambience: stylish and reserved with light music 🎼. We are always very enthusiastic about the Luisenhof 🤩. A big compliment to the team. And not to forget...Luis from Luisenhof, the cutest employee in the team😸. Keep it up!!!!

Unique view, good food, friendly service. Extremely child-friendly - there is a popular play area. Arrival recommended via funicular.

Fantastic view of the Elbe valley and the food is good too.

Quite slow service but great view. However, that's why the prices are pretty steep...

Great view, ambience ok. Food was good - very good! Service had a bad day. (20 minutes to order drinks, cake only received after ordering when asked). But we'll definitely be back!

We accidentally booked a table for 12/25/25 instead of 1/25/25. There were 7 of us and we still got a table. Food came quickly and was also super tasty!

Best Grützwurst in the world - it was so incredibly tasty! I would have loved to be fooled! And the service was again really great! I just love coming to you! Thanks for the lovely evening!

Five of us had dinner at Louisenhof today. It was fantastic! We had a very nice waitress (Ms. Leiß), the service was quick and competent. The food was a poem - big compliments to the kitchen! We will come back again in the summer so we can enjoy the beautiful view. The only drawback is the parking problem. You really have to come up with something. But otherwise highly recommended!!!

A really nice restaurant with a view over the city. The atmosphere is modern and beautifully decorated. The food is high quality and tastes excellent. Highly recommended!

We stopped here a little later in the evening after an event in town. Everything was snowy and parking was difficult to come by. We didn't have a reservation, but we still got a table. Apparently there was a lot going on here before. Well, then we ate and sat and apparently no waitress was interested. We were only served when asked. However, the good wine was served in wet glasses smeared with lipstick. When the defect was pointed out, this was changed immediately. You won't have to wait so long for your food. There was a celebration next door and the view over the Elbe and the city sweetened our time. Unfortunately, the chef was probably in love. The sauce that was provided again was also too salty. Well, the waitress tried very hard to keep us happy and apologized. This is actually a very good address.

We had made a reservation for a family dinner for 10 people and were taken straight to our table with a wonderful view of the Blue Wonder and Dresden's old town. The food and drinks were delicious and perfectly priced. The service was prompt and friendly. The toilets clean. There was also a small area in the women's restroom for diaper changing and breastfeeding. The only thing I can point out is that we had a few chairs that could pass for “rocking chairs.” Tighten the screws and this problem should be solved.

The dishes are of good quality, highly recommended - not too many dishes on the menu, so you know that everything is made fresh 👍The service was also great! The furnishings are modern. I found the atmosphere a bit noisy while eating, but it was nice when a lot of guests came and stayed here

We booked a table for 13 people in the small panoramic room. With written confirmation. When we were there we were simply seated somewhere else and even at separate tables. Caution !!! Here, promises are no more valid than snow in the service desert. Not recommended.. Zero prospects where we are sitting now. If we had been alone, I would have left this restaurant immediately!!! To the operator's comment .... Ambiance ... 1 ... if you put it in a niche it is very justified. ... Service ... 1 ... If the table is set for 12 people (instead of 13) and then 2 should sit at a separate table ... You probably shouldn't talk about service. In the end, with the request for improvement, there were 2 tables with 6/7 people each.

Great location. There were a few “mistakes” during just one meal. It's unlikely that this is the rule, it was probably bad luck. An apology was made and no billing was made.

Had brunch with the family. (Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Table reservation is recommended. The location of the Luisenhof is sensational. You can look over Dresden. Staff is consistently friendly and quick. The selection of food (brunch) is unbeatable. Everything your heart desires 😀🥂😁. The lunch portion was also simply unbeatable. Food very tasty. A clear recommendation from me💯🔥. I didn't take any photos of the food.

We went for brunch and later again for dinner with friends. The staff is very attentive and friendly. On both visits, Mr. Schulze, a trainee in his third year of training, served and he did an excellent job. The view over the city is fantastic. The food was excellent. I had the beef cheeks and they were buttery tender. We would love to come back.

A bit outdated, probably still living from the old reputation of bygone times. We were at brunch at 9:15 a.m. The service was almost exclusively covered by apprentices, although one was only on his third day. Dirty dishes and glasses remained there forever and were only cleared away when asked. The tables and chairs were stained, and the hair from the evening party was still on the upholstered benches.

We were there for brunch, great view over Dresden

very nice atmosphere in a good location and a beautiful view. Always been super happy with the menu and the staff. food great!

We reserved a table for 2 on Sunday about 2 hours in advance. We were warmly welcomed, shown to the table, the food was very good, the size of the portion was okay and the price-performance ratio was absolutely ok for this particular location. Staff quite young and could be a little more relaxed and smile more...😉 View a DREAM. 😍

Great ambience, with a great view over Dresden. There is something for everyone on the menu. Food excellent. Service very friendly.

I ate a delicious cake there and drank a cappuccino with white chocolate

Very elegantly decorated and good service

Super nice restaurant, great view, great food, gladly again👍

All in all good, but we have been there regularly for years and from our point of view the quality has unfortunately declined and the food has been slimmed down as prices have risen. Quality can come at a cost, but unfortunately it gives the impression that savings have to be made here. It's a shame, because the location offers good conditions. All in all still good.

We were here for dinner on December 23rd, 2024. The food, service and ambience were very good. Even a small complaint was dealt with in a friendly manner. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food, perfect service, exceptional atmosphere

We were at the Luisenhof again, this time for St. Martin's goose dinner. As always, very tasty, excellent service including a table with a great view. Highly recommended.

Very busy and a bit noisy on weekends. The food is excellent and the service is very friendly. The terrace offers a great view of the city.

Nicely located with great views. Service was top notch, food ok.

Great ambience and everything first class!!!!!

We were there on December 6th, 2024 as a small wedding party. It was fantastic again: friendly high 10, very child-friendly, very high quality food. THANKS

Luisenstrasse is an upscale address in Dresden with wonderful views. There is plenty of space in the restaurant and large groups can also be accommodated. Pre-ordering is highly recommended. There is a play area, children's chairs and children's toilets. Unfortunately there is only a changing table in the women's toilet.

A restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, the quality of the food is rather mediocre and since it was very full, the service staff rarely came by.

Great restaurant ambience, but that's it. The quality of the food and service have significant potential for improvement. A family friend and we gave the Luisenhof a second chance, but unfortunately it wasn't used. We won't be coming back!

Great location and very nice employees and boss

We had brunch and it was delicious. The only thing that was a shame was that the Actimel was always empty so quickly and wasn't refilled. Overall it was still very nice.

Food was okay, unfortunately nothing more (anymore). Allergens not identified correctly. That shouldn't happen in a house like this. The view is of course gigantic. Also some vegan and vegetarian dishes to choose from.

We were super satisfied, drinks were great, food was great, children could play and next time we will be there for lunch so we can still enjoy the great view.

After being very disappointed at the reopening, we were able to convince ourselves again on Saturday for my 40th birthday. Food and ambience were perfect. But what we were most happy about was our great waitress, Ms. Pfeiffer. She does her job with passion. Thank you!

Dessert great, coffee above average, service very nice

Very, very beautiful, a gigantic view and the food is delicious. Prices are completely reasonable and the service is great.

My grandchildren felt comfortable, as did we. There is a super nice play area with great toys and a view for small and large children🤩😅

On the balcony in Dresden. Recommended in every respect.

Yesterday we went to the Louisenhof for Martin's whole meal. Unfortunately our reservation had been forgotten, but we still managed to get a spot. Unfortunately the food wasn't worth much. The meat was tough and hard, dumplings and vegetables were okay.

Very unfortunate. We were part of a registered 60th birthday birth party. A service fee per person had to be paid in advance for a special table setting. When we arrived, the special request was forgotten. Instead of formally apologizing, the lady took care of putting on the tablecloths including 2 candlesticks in an extremely grumpy manner. The restaurant was set up for the evening, tables were moved, etc. It wasn't a comfortable atmosphere and there wasn't really time for us, even though there were hardly any other guests there at the time. One might have expected a glass of champagne or something. The birthday child came especially to spend the afternoon at the much-praised Luisenhof.

Nicht zu empfehlen. Die Reservierung am 12.11.2023 wurde vergessen und wir mussten warten, bis man dann doch einen Tisch gefunden hat. Das Martinsgansmenü zog sich über mehr als 3 h hin, obwohl man das Aktionsmenü doch gut vorbereiten kann. Allein bis zur Bestellung und zum ersten Getränk verstrich fast eine Stunde. Die a-la-carte-Gäste an den Nachbartischen waren da schon lange fertig. Die Mitarbeiter jammerten, dass zu viel los sei. Der Service ist scheinbar überfordert. Das Ambiente ist für gehobene Gastronomie eher fragwürdig: Kunststofftische, keine Tischdecken (nur kleine Tischläufer), Papierservietten, viel harte Oberflächen mit entsprechendem Geräuschpegel. Wer das Kantinenmilieu mag, ok, dann gehört das Restaurant eben in diese Kategorie. Das Essen war Mittelmaß, die Suppe nicht richtig warm. Wir hatten es beide anschließend äußerst eilig zur Toilette, was sehr stark auf die Verwendung industrieller Vorprodukte schließen lässt. Da sind wir regelmäßig empfindlich. Die Googlerezension wurde vom Inhaber mit der Behauptung "Verleumdung" entfernt. So viel zum Aspekt Fehlerkultur im Unternehmen.

We were there in a larger group. Went up by cable car. We had a wonderful evening at the Luisenhof, good service and great conversations at the table. Everyone enjoyed the food very much, typically Saxon and home-style. In addition, the price-performance ratio was very good!

Wir waren zur Lions Veranstaltung am 15.11.24 bei ihnen zu Gast. Leider sind wir vom Essen sehr enttäuscht. Die Teller waren viel zu klein für die Gänsekeule und die Beilagen Die Gänsekeule war auf dem Rotkohl, darunter etwas Soße und 2 Klöße. Man mußte die Klöße trocken essen, weil man nicht an die Soße kann. Der Rotkohl schmeckte überhaupt nicht. Es gab auch keine Teller, wo man die Knochen legen konnte. Für diesen Preis kann man nur sagen, es war völlig überteuert.

It was a very, very nice evening. Very nice and friendly staff. From what I could eat, it was very tasty. Unfortunately, “it was addressed to ME” too quickly. But yeah... But the service apologized for it. All in all, it was a very nice evening. The price is appropriate for these quantities. Thank you and gladly again.

Wir waren heute , seit langem wiedereinmal hier . Zum Kaffee u Torte . Die Wartezeit , bis überhaupt mal eine Bedienung kam , war sehr lange . Sie waren auch nicht gerade willig ,was zu machen . Die Tische wurden auch nur sehr zäh abgeräumt. Was uns aber überhaupt nicht gefallen hat …. Das Hunde in das Restaurant kamen . Wie kann ich das als Restaurantleiter zulassen ? Wo ist da die Hygiene? Unmöglich , den anderen Gästen gegenüber u eigentlich garnicht zulässig ( wohlgemerkt… große Hunde ). Kurz u gut , die Torte hat geschmeckt … aber …den nächsten Besuch werden wir uns überlegen …… Schade …. Um so ein Haus mit toller Lage u Aussicht …..

Mit einer großen Gruppe (ca. 20 Personen) mit Reservierung von 12:00 Uhr bis 14:00 Uhr an einem Samstag hergekommen. 12:45 Uhr wurden dann unsere Bestellungen aufgenommen. 14:00 Uhr hatten wir zwar die Vorspeisen (3 Personen hatten eine bestellt), aber immer noch keine Hauptgerichte. Auch die Kinder nicht. 13:30 Uhr hatten wir das Personal auf unsere Situation hingewiesen, 14:00 Uhr dann die Restaurantleitung kommen lassen. Diese reagierte pampig auf unseren Hinweis: „Naja sie hatten auch Vorspeisen“ und „Na wenn wir jetzt noch weiter reden, kann ich nicht in der Küche nachfragen!“ … von einer Entschuldigung keine Spur. 14:12 Uhr war dann das Essen da. Die Speisen waren in Ordnung, der Preis rechtfertigt sich eher über die Lage als die Qualität der Küche. Die Restaurantleitung sahen wir nicht wieder, auch wenn sie meinte, wir würden später nochmal sprechen. Knapp 30 min, nachdem wir mit dem Essen fertig waren haben wir uns einen Kellner zum bezahlen organisiert. Zu dem Zeitpunkt waren immer noch nicht alle Teller abgeräumt.

On November 9th for St. Martin's goose dinner, once again great! Food and service were great!

Always worth a visit with this view over the city and the nice service today with delicious cakes for coffee.

Greeted personally by the boss and assigned a table that was reserved in advance. Furthermore, perfectly served and looked after by the waitresses and waiters. And last but not least, the perfect kitchen should be mentioned. I had a tomato soup as a starter and a whole dish as a main course, which was simply delicious. Your house will definitely see us again. Now I had almost forgotten the beautiful ambience and the unique view over Dresden. All in all a successful evening. Thanks to the whole team for the wonderful hours.

Very nice and decent environment. Everything is clean and the service is very nice. The decoration, especially in front of the toilets, is very attractive and beautiful for me.

What can I say about the Luisenhof, it's simply a great excursion, gastronomy, a beautiful view over Dresden from the outside terrace, which is shaded by plane trees, it's just wonderful, the beer tastes good, the coffee is delicious, the food is also good I can only recommend it at the entrance area There are steps to the top but there is also the possibility 10 meters further on for people with walking difficulties to take the elevator up. If you ring the doorbell the door opens then you are guided to the elevator and then you follow above. And you arrive directly at the top of the restaurant. Look at the pictures, such a great view.

I gave each category 5 stars, which is the quickest way and is also accurate. We also made reservations, the restaurant has 260 seats and almost all of them were occupied. The view from Dresden's balcony Looking at the Blaue Wunder and Blasewitz is something special.

The brunch was really nice. We were able to experience a successful family celebration in a wonderful atmosphere.
