Luisenhof, Dresden in Dresden

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.

The Balcony of the East is a must-visit and you must enjoy the wonderful view!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.🥳

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

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

Very friendly staff - including all the trainees.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!!!!

Great view of Dresden especially when the evening falls

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!

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!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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

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!
