Luisenhof, Dresden in Dresden

Exclusive restaurant and a breathtaking view over Dresden.

Very nice restaurant, I will come back again

Great ambience, great terrace, great view.

Food was good, price performance okay. No games for children and a beautiful view.

We took our family here for a nice evening and ordered Ochsenbachen , Steak and Truffelpasta. We came for the Ochsenbachen , it was good and tender. However the truffle pasta was very bland, no salt, no truffle taste nor smell and we talked to the waiter. They only provided a bit more truffle oil , that’s it. The pasta was still very tasteless, worse that making it at home. Very disappointing . We used to tell friends that this place serves our favorite food and best view, not anymore.

When we visited again, we weren't quite as impressed with the service. There were a lot of very young service staff jumping around, but some of them barely understood German or orders were forgotten or not understood. Nothing against trainees, but so many technical errors were made there that it would have been nice if an instructor had stood there and corrected them or evaluated them later. Otherwise the food was again very tasty. With the very expensive drinks, I would like glass or metal straws instead of the unspeakable cardboard straws.

The best location in Dresden. Food top, service excellent, view of Dresden from the “balcony” is incredibly beautiful. Visited again after 40 years, I was very touched. The ride on the funicular to “Luisenhof” is definitely one of them. A thank you to the staff and boss of the house, as well as to his nice, friendly mother, who I got to know. All the best and we'll be back next year. Kind regards from Lake Constance, the Mauer family

The view is great. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was good too. The food was very good. Not huge portions, just right. We were thrilled.

Very nice view and also very nice staff. We only had coffee and cake. It worked

Went to Sunday brunch, everything was great, the selection of food was great, everyone also enjoyed the lovely hours. They'll be happy to come back 👍👍👍❤

Beautiful ambience, the kitchen is a dream, very friendly service, the 🍰 offer is also good, and if you haven't seen Dresden from above, a wonderful view. The 🍻 garden is also impressive. Otherwise suitable for every occasion. I would like to thank you and would be happy to come back.

Recommended restaurant, nice view over Dresden. Friendly staff, prices reasonable.

A wonderful restaurant with foresight, delicious food and very friendly staff. Children are also welcome :-)

Great food, great view, just all around.

Great food, friendly, attentive service! However, I didn't like the atmosphere that much: too big, too impersonal.

Very nice staff, great atmosphere

Very tasty, upscale gastronomy. You notice the experience and the long tradition.

Beautiful view of the Elbe valley and the blue wonder. Cable car stops right next to it. The trip is worth it.

The view alone (when the weather is good) deserves the rating “sensational”. The upscale ambience continues seamlessly throughout the rooms. The food is excellent, the service is good to very good. The waiting time we experienced was certainly due to the fact that it was very crowded. We'll definitely be back.

Very nice restaurant, the view is simply incredible even in the evening. The food is great and the service staff is very friendly. To reach the restaurant, I recommend taking the funicular. It's best to park downstairs and take the train up and down again. If you are there for dinner, of course, ask in advance when the last train leaves. It's worth a visit to the Luisenhof whether for an evening or a coffee (the cake is homemade there).

Spontaneously went for dinner here for 8 people. 🍽️ We wanted to go to the funicular and the Luisenhof is directly opposite. We had lunch here and I haven't had such a good meal at a restaurant in a long time! Everyone was more than satisfied with various dishes. I don't have to say anything more about it. Absolutely recommended. The view of the Elbe and the valley is very beautiful. 🤩

We went to Luisenhof for Sunday brunch. The ambience is beautiful, the view from the terrace over the Elbe valley is wonderful. You can sit both inside and outside. The food was varied, plentiful and tasted very good. There was a large selection of hot and cold portions. It was always refilled if something became empty. The service was quick and very friendly and quickly brought the drinks we ordered, which were exclusive. We enjoyed the view and the food in the beautiful weather What I didn't like was that the brunch didn't last until 2:30 p.m. or 3 p.m., as usual (in other restaurants). Then everything would have been perfect.

As always, very nice and exciting and highly recommended

We went for brunch with friends. Everything was very tasty and filling. It was always refilled straight away, cold and warm. It all worked out. We will definitely go to Luisenhof for brunch again.

"The Balcony of Dresden" A very good restaurant with a spectacular view over Dresden from the balcony. Very good food and very attentive and friendly staff. We would love to come back. A little tip: you can easily go up with the funicular (which you should definitely do when visiting Dresden). The upper station is just a few steps away from the restaurant.

The food is delicious, the service sometimes takes a while and the prices are OK. Parking spaces are in short supply. It's best if you park in the valley and take the funicular up.

Nice view of Dresden, highly recommended

Gute Küche...seht gute Ausblicke...alles hat Flair

We were in the beer garden with a wonderful view over Dresden and were able to enjoy the sunset. The food was very tasty and came relatively quickly despite the many guests. I have to deduct one point for my water glass, which looked very unappetizing on the edge. When we sat down at our table, the dishes from the previous guests had been cleared, but the table was not wiped down. However, this was done immediately upon request. Otherwise, I can really recommend the restaurant.

The restaurant is really stylishly furnished and the super modern ambience is very nice no matter whether you are inside or outside. The staff is very, very friendly and on the ball, thank you, you are great. The food is prepared with love and tastes excellent. The view from the terrace is really beautiful over Dresden

Perfect place for a dinner accompanied by a sunset! Service is very friendly yet slow. Food is superb! Atmopshere great...extra tip: if you come by foot, avoid the steep uphill way

On the 14th I celebrated my 22222nd day on this planet at the Luisenhof. First of all: all 22 guests were very satisfied! The food was really above average, our service staff was very friendly and on the ball, the design of the room was great and the prices were reasonable. I can therefore recommend the Luisenhof for all kinds of celebrations.

Everything was very nice and the view was beautiful

Unfortunately this place is not for us. Our lunch took 1 hour to be served, and what's worse was we were served later than two other tables that arrived much later than us. Generally, the servers and manager were not friendly, and there is nothing to brag about the place, at all. Food was just okay, not flavourful at all. Don't expect too much. If I were you, save your money elsewhere. If you need a photo of Dresden balcony, walk over the Terasse, snap it and leave. The servers are too ignorant and busy to worry about you. I have no photos of the food, we were starving and couldn't bother at all.

Welcome to the restaurant with the best view in Dresden. The menu is diverse, the food is top-notch, and the drinks suit my taste. The service is good, the place is clean, and the view is outstanding. I am from Indonesia and hope to dine at this restaurant again💯🤤

Excellent hospitality that can only be recommended! Super!

Had a drink there. Beautiful terrace with a view of Dresden.

Really great view from the terrace of the Elbe and Dresden.

Very nice restaurant with a wonderful view over Dresden. A little more upscale and therefore more expensive. Definitely worth a visit!

You definitely wouldn't expect a place like this in this corner of Dresden. Worth recommending! The location, the service but also the cuisine is a "MUST" visit when you visit Dresden. Thank you very much, I felt very comfortable as a guest

Simply fantastic on the balcony of Dresden, the city and everything beyond it is at your feet while you enjoy a fantastic meal.

The food was excellent, our wishes were catered for, the service was always friendly and competent, and the ambience speaks for itself. A beautiful place with a great view over Dresden. We liked it very much.

Unfortunately I cannot give a positive review. My brother celebrated his birthday here yesterday. We had to wait a long time until someone came and took the drinks and food. After that it took a very long time before the first starters arrived. Some starters were forgotten and only came after we asked for them. Then there was another big break and then the main courses only came in bits and pieces. As compensation there was some bread with dip. Unfortunately the staff was understaffed and the Luisenhof was probably fully booked that evening. You can't take on so many orders if you don't have enough staff. The food and drinks were ok. Unfortunately, I also have to say that the side balcony had a lot of weeds. That's not a pretty sight, especially when you know that it's actually an upscale restaurant. The view of Dresden is unbeatable. I don't need to talk about parking options. They've always been catastrophic but the restaurant can't do that.

Very tasty food, child-friendly staff, indoor and outdoor play area, still quiet atmosphere with a beautiful view. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Long waiting times, despite pre-ordering, service unfriendly and annoyed, food was ok, but nothing special

We were completely satisfied. Super nice staff, great food and a fantastic view from the terrace. Highly recommended.

Great view, beautiful atmosphere (inside as well), very friendly staff, and great food (albeit not entirely on the top of the game when it comes to fusion dishes). It's an absolute recommendation!

Super nice view. However, if I e.g. If I pay €16.40 for a schnitzel with fries, then I expect it to be at least well done and not raw on the inside. Same with burgers. Goulash was cold. Once we pointed this out, we had to argue with waiters to have our food returned. Staff is extremely unfriendly. If the food were “done”, I don’t think it would taste very good either. So it's not worth the price. A small STILL tap water costs €3.50 (0.25!!!). You simply don't WANT to afford something like that under these circumstances!

Waited 1.5 hours for food despite pre-ordering. Speci €6.20 (0.4l) way too expensive. The taste of the burger was okay. However, the meat was still very, very red and no one asked beforehand how they would like it. That's nothing for me. Staff not so friendly, intentionally ignored us several times and took forever. They also saved a lot on fries. Then the beer comes in a wheat glass, once and never again!

Very very very expensive, the burger was raw and the schnitzel, even for that price, you can eat better elsewhere

A highlight of the day. The welcome was very warm. We had a very nice place on the terrace, with a great view over Dresden. The service was perfect and very friendly. The food was super delicious. We will visit Dresden again and would love to come back.

Auf der schönen Terrasse Platz erhalten. Zum Apero einen Hugo genossen. Die Haupt- gänge: 1xTagliatelle mit Garnelen und 1xSpinatknödel. Service schnell und freundlich. Preis/Leistung sehr gut.

Great view from the terrace! With a lot of luck we spontaneously found a table for 7 cyclists and had a wonderful stopover.

We took the cable car up, very nice view of Dresden Fast service, good service

very nice atmosphere, very good selection of food and drinks. Excellent service.

Highly recommended, great food, great views and stylish ambience.

Excellent food impeccable service splendid terrace excellent prices

Children's burger only buns (untoasted) meat and cucumber. My steak gratinated with seasoned meat was delicious. But for a steak that was 6cm in diameter (measured) 19€ is too steep. The pasta with chanterelles was very good and plentiful. The staff was very friendly. A very good and beautiful children's play area.

Very tasty, with a breathtaking view 😋

We really enjoyed the meal. Thank you

Super friendly service. Food was delicious ☺️

I was there on August 24th. And here today on August 25, 24. Super nice service and delicious food. Thank you very much, I will come back.

We ate on the terrace of the Luisenhof when the weather was very nice. A wonderful view of Dresden. Everything was wonderful and appropriate. A highlight of our vacation. Gladly again at any time.

Super Locarion. Fine dining. Food very good and a fantastic view of Dresden. Auch für Familien sehr schön mit eigener Terrasse und Spielbereich. Extra chair for breastfeeding in the changing area

We celebrated our son's 40th birthday here yesterday. When I first ordered everything was great. When the drinks came and out of nowhere the bottom of a full glass was just so much and one of our guests was completely soaked. The waiter just said "We've had that before" - no apology or can I help you. And that wasn't the waiter's only mistake. Just a shame.

St. Martin's goose meal class Gastronomy class and service

Very nice atmosphere with a great view. Great Saxon quark rolls and very good coffee.

Beautiful and modern restaurant that offers both Eastern cuisine and modern cuisine. Culinary art at a very high level. The ambience is modern, the view is a sensation. The Luisenhof is also currently taking part in the cooking star hours - modern dishes as a 3 or 4-course menu. If you want to go on the weekend, a reservation in advance is recommended.

Very nice restaurant with a great panorama.

Despite the full terrace, great service!

Very beautiful view and nice cocktails

Great location, great food, great decor and great staff... always happy...

The dishes were simply ingenious and tasty. Then there’s the very nice service👌👌👌

Wir haben zu zweit einen wunderschönen Abend im Luisenhof verbracht. Da spontan ein Tisch am Fenster frei wurde, konnten wir den von uns reservierten Tisch noch wechseln. Frau Pfeiffer vom Service hat uns hervorragend beraten und den ganzen Abend über freundlichst bedient. Das Essen war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Wir können den Luisenhof absolut empfehlen!

The food was very tasty and individual requests were catered for. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location, go there for a drink or something sweet. The food itself was uninspired. The biggest issue though was the vegan option, which is filled with "meat-replacement" products without it being mentioned or visible on the menu. When we sent half of the dish back we got no offer for compensation, no discount and not even an excuse, which is below any restaurant standard, especially considering the relatively high prices for Dresden.

We were there for the first time and were super satisfied. The view of Dresden and especially “The Blue Wonder” is fantastic. Great atmosphere, very friendly and attentive service, the food was very tasty - everything was great and definitely highly recommended!

Highly recommended. It's best to take the funicular up and then enjoy the view. A reservation is not mandatory but definitely recommended!

Only I asked for small glass to the waitress and I continiue waiting. But there were a lot of people. i am only spent 18.60€ in drinks. In any case, the palce is a very good place. I not eaten but the dishes served in other tables looked very very good. The sunset was incredible.

Historic location, with a beautiful view of the city! There isn't much option of what to do there, other than walk around the neighborhood and see the views of the houses and city. But if you're in Dresden, it's a good trip for an afternoon!

We don't know what the dishes taste like because we didn't manage to order anything. The menu is only available in German, and when asked about the English version, the waiter asked me to scan the code from the first page of the German menu... Maybe the solution is ok, but unfortunately the English electronic version is different from the German version. It's a bit embarrassing that the restaurant described in guidebooks does not have a menu in such a common language as English.....

Beautiful view, super delicious food and very nice service. We were completely satisfied and would love to come back.

Unfortunately, it's no longer what it was two years ago. Coffee poor, cake average at best. Staff inattentive. Too bad Another visit, or even a try. Staff was quick and friendly today. The Aperol Spritz was more of a soft drink than a cocktail. A lot of mineral water with little sparkling wine and even less Aperol at a price of 8.50 a glass? Oh no, that was our last visit to the Luisenhof

Just had something to drink. Next time we'll stay longer to eat. Staff make a solid impression.

An amazing view from the roof terrace. Very polite staff

Unfortunately the soup was lukewarm and the tartare was of poor quality. No response of any kind from the service. Absolute no go. Take a deep breath, we're never coming back.

Top marks for food and service Simply A+

Unfriendly and slow service with the worst tartare I've ever been served!! The service was of zero interest in the complaint! Never again!!!

We had a very nice evening at Luisenhof with a beautiful view and very good food. The service wasn't perfect, but in the end everyone was happy. Definitely coming back.

Gigantic view over Dresden from the terrace. This is also reflected in the prices

No, the prices are not cheap. Not a bit. But: you understand exactly what you are paying them for. The service: Extremely good. and that too, should there be a problem. The food: a dream. The chicken liver was actually medium rare, the sauce was incredibly delicious, and the coarse mashed potatoes were a poem. The beef tartare (Wednesdays only) exceeded all expectations. Seasoned meat? A poem. The view over Dresden from the terrace is beautiful. The journey by funicular from Körnerplatz is an experience (like Körnerplatz itself). The Luisenhof is elegant, modern, rather minimalist. I would also give 6 stars if that were possible.

Phenomenal view over Dresden and the Blue Wonder! There is also a beautiful terrace, great service and very tasty dishes. If I come to Dresden again, I would definitely like to go to the Luisenhof again!

A great place for family celebrations with a wonderful view of the Elbe and Dresden

Gar keinen Stern, da wir gar nicht erst bedient wurden. Anscheinend wird hier ausschließlich auf das Äußere geachtet... schade. Ich komme selbst aus der Gastro und habe so ein Verhalten noch NIE erlebt.... 20 Minuten warten circa 10 mal unmotiviert an uns vorbei, trotz lächeln und winken nur ein Blick und ein Schulterzucken.... da hilft auch keine Aussicht mehr

We would have liked to have ordered something to drink when it was over 30°, but we probably weren't dressed smart enough for the snooty employees... but dear employees of the Luisenhof: never let appearances fool you... bad luck. We were very hungry and thirsty. And because I worked in the restaurant for a long time myself, I like to give good tips. Stupid mistake...

The most beautiful culinary balcony a city can have... Thank you for being so wonderful to visit again since 2018...

Highly recommended! Mega service, best waitress J. Noack simply very good service 👍👍👍

Delicious food with a great view of Dresden. Prices are completely ok for the quality and ambience.

Thanks. Had a spontaneous meal today. Sunday. Call ahead. Is better. A busy restaurant, it's almost impossible to get seats inside. Need and demand. This restaurant is characterized by a very good service team, good and plentiful food and a dream view over Dresden. The boss gets involved himself. Chapeau. A thank you to the kitchen team. We enjoyed it very much. Your good reputation precedes you. Price/performance are consistent and fair. We would like to come again. Göritz family Went out for a spontaneous meal today in beautiful weather. Ate and drank well again and special thanks to the young man (Azibi 1st year of apprenticeship) everything was done correctly and well. Thank you very much.

Very good cuisine, a fantastic view and friendly staff - overall an experience.
