Luisenhof, Dresden in Dresden

An upscale and well-kept location. Excellent food and great staff. The view of Dresden from here is unique.

From the roof terrace, you have a beautiful view over Dresden. The prices for food and drinks mean you have to pay for the beautiful view.

I recommend a beautiful view, good food

Friendly staff and delicious coffee and pastries

The most child-friendly cafe/restaurant we've ever been to! The play area is suitable for all ages (from babies to 9/10), visible from the terrace, with such a breathtaking view and such amazing cakes. It was nice that they served not only amazing cakes but also classics like egg cake, strawberry cake, and crumble. Definitely recommend it! PS: the most beautiful nursing corner, in the restroom but separate and with a proper chair. It's great that someone is thinking ahead.

We celebrated a milestone birthday here with a large group, and it was simply fantastic. The staff were very attentive and accommodating, the food was perfect, and everything was just perfect. 👍 Thank you so much ⭐👍🫶🫶🫶

Of course the prices are a bit too high, as is the case everywhere, but the view from the east balcony is indescribably beautiful!

Great buffet, always happy to go back, amazing terrace... my wife and I were thrilled... and there's a play area and playground for the little one... And a great selection of food for the kids... Top value for money... I can only recommend it. If anyone wants to have Sunday brunch, then go there... Great, we'll be back soon...

This was my first time eating here at the Luisenhof... And I was thrilled by the view, the ambiance and the food... I will definitely be back... 😊

We were at the Luisenhof restaurant in Dresden last night. It had a fantastic view of the Blue Wonder. The food was excellent. The solyanka was particularly delicious. The other dishes are also highly recommended. We'll be back. Keep up the good work!

During our stay in the beautiful city of Dresden, we had the pleasure of staying at the Luisenhof, and I have to say we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. The drinks, or rather our cocktail, were absolutely delicious. There's only one negative point: Unfortunately, you're not here in Berlin, otherwise we would be regulars. And of course, I can't forget the absolutely outstanding view from the terrace. We'll definitely be back next time we visit Dresden.

All in all good, except for the service.

Barely 3.5 stars. We were quickly shown a table for two at lunchtime. A good half hour passed before we saw a waiter again. The people behind us at the table waited even longer, despite it being relatively quiet. We placed our order, and it arrived after another 30 minutes. The food was good, but my cucumber salad was relatively tasteless and, as described on the menu, it should have come with bread. There wasn't. I couldn't ask because the waiter didn't appear for a long time. My husband thought his goulash was good. But he didn't like the dumplings. We actually wanted to order dessert, but we had to wait almost an hour after eating before we saw our waiter again. So we left it so we didn't have to wait any longer. It took a whole 2 hours for one meal. It was the middle of the week, at lunchtime. Lots of tables free. No idea if there had been any problems. A real shame. Oh, and they also brought the wrong beer. The price was OK. The atmosphere was good, too.

The restaurant with the most beautiful view in Dresden

Unfortunately it took a while for the service, but otherwise friendly...

We were invited to dinner on Whitsun Sunday and were extremely satisfied. Especially with Ms. Pfeiffer, who took such good care of us guests. I've never experienced such friendly service. The dining room was busy, but it was still possible to have a pleasant conversation. Some dishes are also available as senior citizen's plates. We enjoyed them very much. The Luisenhof is highly recommended. And the fantastic view over our beautiful city is worth five stars in itself.

We ate at the Luisenhof today and were thrilled. The food was great. The tagliatelle with shrimp had a lot of shrimp compared to other restaurants, and the dishes were all well-seasoned. The dessert actually had a liquid center inside the chocolate cake. The view over the city of Dresden is breathtaking, and since the visibility was good, you could even see beyond the city limits. I'm deducting one point because we had to wait about 30 minutes after the main course before we could order dessert, even though the main server walked past our table several times. At other tables, people asked how we were feeling, but they somehow skillfully ignored us. There's room for improvement there.

Very friendly service, tasty food and a great view!

Ate very well and enjoyed a great view.

It's always a great experience. We were a large group and had a private room. The waitress came by often and asked what we wanted.

We ended up here after a walk from the schwebebahn to the trambahn. Beautiful view on the terrace. Delicious food, asparagus was on the menu. Great price.

We were here for lunch...very good service...very good food and drinks...a wonderful view from the terrace...always worth a visit....

Well, the food was very lightly seasoned, and the price-performance ratio used to be better.

Very tasty food and a great view of Dresden.

Amazing service and finest meal in town, to a fair price! Greetings from Berlin

Reserving a nice table by the window for five people worked out. The service was very prompt and attentive. The appetizers and main courses (with one exception) were very good. The ice cream dessert was particularly delicious and not overly sweet—everything was excellent! One flaw was the pink-roasted ostrich steak, a small end piece where the small, normal-thickness piece was grilled to a good medium rare, but the thinner rest was inedible. It's a shame, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. I was unlucky there. The seasonal vegetables, the green asparagus, and the sauce, as described on the menu, were very good.

We were invited here for a late lunch today. A table by the window was reserved for us, from which we had a great view of Dresden and the Elbe River. The ambiance was friendly, modern, and pleasant, and the service was very friendly. My companions were impressed with their food; it was very delicious. I was disappointed with the schnitzel with my asparagus, as it wasn't pan-fried and was therefore quite dry. Since asparagus with schnitzel is my absolute favorite dish, my standards are naturally very high. The asparagus soup was fantastic.

We had ordered coffee for a special birthday; it should have been something special. After all, the Luisenhof has always had a good reputation, until now. The view is, of course, top-notch, and the food from the kitchen was also very good, but the service... The table was supposed to be beautifully set, but there were only napkins, the bench was covered in crumbs, and the coffee came long after the cake. After the waiter had collected some of the dishes, no waiter came to us for at least half an hour, even though there were plenty of waiting staff. As far as we're concerned, the Luisenhof is over. Tip for the innkeepers: Don't rest on the laurels of this establishment's history.

Very good restaurant with a great view. We had a lovely evening.

Too big, like an assembly line, staff seem overwhelmed, too many people in a huge hall, very impersonal and loud. The view from the terrace is fabulous

Homely cooking, very attentive and helpful service, and a fantastic location above the Elbe River with a magnificent view. You can also sit outside and enjoy the view of the Elbe Valley and Dresden at sunset. The food is delicious, but the drinks are exorbitantly priced.

A restaurant with a dream setting We went for coffee and cake, which was excellent and delicious. Minus points because they were preparing in the afternoon for an evening group, unfortunately paying little attention to the existing guests. It's a shame it wasn't like that. The houseplants by the windows are also very dusty.

Compliments to the entire team at the Luisenhof restaurant. Our family celebration will remain a very fond memory. The staff member took the time to plan ahead and accommodated our personal requests. Even though Sunday brunch was in full swing, we received prompt and courteous service, and the à la carte dishes were excellent in quality and preparation. The prime location with views of Dresden and the surrounding area naturally rounded off the experience and made a very positive impression on our guests. The Schneider family thanks us and wishes us continued success and satisfied guests.

Elegant restaurant, very friendly staff and ambience, top service and cuisine

We celebrated my confirmation at the Luisenhof. I'd like to thank the entire staff. We enjoyed the food immensely, the staff was very attentive, and we had no problems ordering. The ambiance was spectacular, and our private room was the perfect size, so it was a successful celebration.🥳

Can be safely recommended, top location.

A truly wonderful restaurant with great service, good food, and a fantastic view over Dresden. The restaurant is truly child-friendly. The only thing I have to criticize is the play area. Unfortunately, most of it is already broken, dirty, and poorly maintained. It bears no resemblance to the pictures on the website. A children's kitchen without a single accessory, a broken car garage, a marble run without marbles, horses with matted hair. This was simply disappointing. We had chosen the restaurant precisely because of the play area, but it really wasn't good. The restaurant is otherwise of such high quality, and this area is so neglected. It's a real shame.

Location, view and food are simply great.

A beautiful location, in a beautiful district, above the rooftops of Dresden. Nice view of Dresden. Food and service were great. 👍

Nice restaurant with a great view and delicious cuisine

View from the terrace 5 stars. Some of the chairs inside are wobbly, but there was a deduction for that.

Went up on the funicular and enjoyed the view. Spontaneously stopped on the terrace despite the restaurant being busy. Food was very good. The drinks service could be improved. Waiting time 45 minutes and drinks always came individually, even though they were ordered together.

Very friendly staff - including all the trainees.

We sat on the terrace. A great view. We had a good time in May. The view is simply great. The service is very nice and attentive.

Really great. Great food and service

This restaurant is amazing! Its location offers breathtaking views!

Great view of Dresden. Friendly service, food was tasty.

The food was delicious, but what's even more impressive about this restaurant is the view over Dresden. But the staff is also very friendly and very attentive…

Very good cuisine. Great location and beautiful views.

Everything was just right! The view from the terrace is simply unique

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.

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

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

Just nice to enjoy good cuisine and very good service.

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

Great view from the terrace. Food was OK.

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.

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.

Photo worthy location with an overview of Dresden.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 😊

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.

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

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

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!

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!!!

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!

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!
