Odessa - Restaurant Cafe Bar Bei Zwinger in Dresden

An excellent restaurant, delicious Ukrainian dishes and the flair of the city of Odessa. A friendly team that will always help you even in difficult situations!

We arrived as a family in Dresden and decided to visit a restaurant with our dishes and our service, because we thought it would be like home, everything was at the highest level. But when we entered the restaurant we were greeted aggressively, it felt as if we had gone to this man’s home. During food, our table was transferred to another waiter and the girl turned out to be just as “polite” as the previous waiter. For the first time in my life, I didn’t leave a tip at all. Respect to the kitchen chef, the food was excellent. But the owners of this establishment urgently need to reconsider the people who meet and they serve people. We definitely won’t come back here and won’t recommend this place to anyone.

We were here as students who went on a day trip to Dresden. We ate two soups here and were very impressed. Both soups tasted delicious and there was enough for everyone to last half a day. The dessert, in our case cake, was also very tasty. This restaurant made our entire visit to the city even more enjoyable.

Really great! I've often walked past it here in the past. The first visit this week and it tastes fantastic. Here you can eat delicious food at reasonable prices.

Very decent for Dresden. We always meet people from Odessa here. The salmon and mushroom soup is excellent!

The food not recommended. Varenniky barely have taste. The food is not so good. But the place is nice to sit in - thevonly positive thing

A very nice restaurant, when you are in it, you immediately remember Ukraine, everything is in Russian, which is very important, and the food melts in your mouth, ♾️ stars!

It was a very good experience in a very decent restaurant. We started with Borsch and two other soups and finished with Pelmeni. Try the Salad as well. Very tasty. Service was nice. Recommended.

Excellent, tasty and cozy food. Clear recommendation 👍

Very tasty, fast and friendly service

Modern atmosphere, friendly service and really good food The borscht and solyanka are highly recommended. Decent portions at reasonable prices. We would be happy to come back and always want satisfied guests.

It was my first time in Odessa. I'm thrilled. Everything is great. I'll be back. Was there again. Everything is still at its best.

That was great!! Everything is perfect. Super friendly staff. Everything was delicious and fresh. Only recommend!! We'll be back!!

-the food was good - the prices are sometimes very high for what you get - Service was sometimes annoyed and not really friendly - a shame

It was a very nice evening, the food was very tasty. We'd love to come back there.

The taste does not correspond to the prices at all. The food was slightly warm and it took a long time to be brought to the customer, apparently the preparation of the food had not yet been clarified. For a 5 star restaurant there is still a lot of improvement to be made.

There is no madness. 60 euros for 2 portions of dumplings and half of the soup. Plus two coffees The price does not correspond to the quality and quantity

Good service. Nice atmosphere. We ate dumplings and dessert. Everything is delicious👍🏻

Pleasantly impressed by the dishes that are dear to my heart. The service is excellent. The products are fresh. The atmosphere is relaxed. I recommend it. My compliments to the cook

Let me start with the fact that you are gorgeous. I love people who do everything with soul. I had dinner at your restaurant today and shared my impressions with everyone for an hour. I have been to many restaurants, but yours is 10 out of 10. I have never seen such delicious borscht and pies I ate, the herring under a fur coat is the freshest, tender, just amazing taste. Well, I thought Napoleon, how would it be store-bought, no, homemade, the cream was just a delight, but how it was soaked in. When they asked me if it was really tastier than yours, I said yes, I realized that I there is room for improvement. Oh, I forgot your iced compote, that’s a special thank you, even the mint tea was just like homemade, the way my grandmother made it in childhood. I recommend it to everyone, well done guys.

Everything is fine. Pearl of the sea.

Delicious tradicional ukranian food. Friendly staff and big portions with a lot of options.

Average in everything except beer. C grade beer. It was not cold, and there was no gas. They told me that it is what it is, and it’s warm because they have the barrels in the basement, and here you understand how hot it is. But why was it without gas, as if it had run out of gas...

Приятное место, удачное расположение, отзывчивый персонал. Варенички просто таяли во рту, вкусная домашняя еда, шницель так же был хорош,повар делает работу с душой. Мы заказали с собой ещё борща, всё было аккуратно запакованно. Когда пришли домой ,увидели гостинчик-пирожки. Приятно удивились. Благодарим весь персонал за радушие и желание снова вернутся.

This is not a restaurant of Ukrainian cuisine! The waiter approached with a question: "In what language should I bring you the menu? In Russian, German or English?" We say: "In Ukrainian!" "There is no such thing," he replies and gives the menu in German. I tell him: "Yes, Odesa is Ukraine!" In response, I hear: "Bye!" We got up and left under the hostile eyes of the owners of this poor Russian "in wet dreams" restaurant!

Tasty food, efficient service. The decor is reminiscent of times gone by. Relatively high prices.

Delicious Ukrainian-Russian food.

There were seven people who wanted to eat here, the room was half empty, they asked the waiter if there was room for seven people, he said no.

Homemade dumplings 🥟 very tasty. Small beer garden in the back of the restaurant.

The quality of the food is very good and the service is also good. Everything was very clean and modern, including the sanitary rooms. We were able to sit on the quiet terrace at the back. I recommend this restaurant.

Food was okay. but it was quite disturbing to me hearing waiters of Ukrainian restaurant talking with each other in ruzzian. Slava Ukraine!

I absolutely do not recommend this place. Disgusting, cheapest quality food, old oil smell everywhere. Wine from a carton, whether you order the most expensive or the cheapest, it's the same. Coca-Cola is poured into the back room from a 2l bottle. SERVICE at the lowest possible level. If you do NOT speak German and are not German you will be treated as a second class customer. We have never been so disgustingly DISCRIMINATED as at this place, and we expected a nice first encounter with Ukrainian cuisine. And when we asked where this approach came from, the waitress shrugged and burst out laughing. Dear friends, obviously this restaurant is not for tourists, it is better to avoid this place and go a little further to the great atmospheric restaurants, whose charm we later enjoyed. You are not only rude, but also arrogant, instead of apologizing for your bad behavior you want to tell me that someone will pay me to write negative opinions. Your failure to wait, I am a regular customer who was treated poorly at your facility. This attitude from the owner only confirms the veracity of my opinion. FYI I was there last night

We were very excited about Restaurant Odessa and were not disappointed. From our point of view, the food was fantastic, the wine recommendation was excellent and the atmosphere was also very pleasant. The service was very good. All in all, a very clear recommendation.

Average food in a quite anonymous atmosphere. Service can improve a lot.

Pleasant service, large portions. The borscht and vareniki with cherries were very tasty. The atmosphere of the restaurant is like Ukraine in Odessa ❤️ I recommend this place to get to know Ukrainian dishes.

It was super friendly, courteous and the food was amazing. Not only did it taste good, it was also really fun. And we felt completely comfortable.

It was very tasty, here and a little something, which is certainly a personal taste. The liver was too cooked for me. But otherwise we left the restaurant feeling fat and plump. And had a great conversation with a Ukrainian city guide. The few words of Russian and hands and feet were enough for conversation. It was a great evening

Good selection of Ukrainian/Russian food, friendly service, nice decor and outdoor garden eating option. I love the menu card with pictures of the food sich that you get a good understanding of what you can expect. Especially handy when you mastery of the German language is not perfect. Staf was friendly.

It was probably little things that led to a deduction. Unfortunately, we knew a really great restaurant in Berlin, which is unfortunately closed in the meantime. But “Odessa” comes close. The "herring in a fur coat" was good; the Pelmeni and Wareneki too. Good place to get closer to or enjoy Eastern European cuisine. I find the menu with photos of the dishes exaggerated and reminiscent of a quick test restaurant. Does not have to be. Otherwise nice restaurant.

Уютный, красивый ресторан. Удачно расположен: удобно добираться. Приятные внимательные официанты. Свежие и вкусные блюда. Такого вкусного шашлыка мы не ели нигде в Германии. И хотя мы немного опоздали с предварительным заказом, повар все равно успел нам приготовить вкуснейший шашлык!!! Порции были большими. Торт Медовик - по домашнему рецепту- вне всяких похвал. Спасибо огромное за такой милый кусочек родины в Дрездене!!!! Очень всем рекомендую посетить это замечательное место!!!

Great food, very nice service and pleasant atmosphere. We recommend.

It was super tasty, like at home)

Delicious. How we visited our beloved hometown)))🥰🥰🥰

A very good restaurant with a wide selection of authentic Russian and Ukrainian dishes 👍 The portions are big. The food is delicious. Excellent pelmeni ☺️

Large portions and very tasty. I recommend!

First of all, I’m interested in the food, which seems to me to be okay here, I ordered mussels and cream of champignon soup, the cream soup is simply delicious, but the mussels are stale and even disgusting, the price is definitely not good, for borscht it’s 8 euros, I’m sorry but it's terrible. the service is good, I have no complaints, the atmosphere of Ukraine is completely absent, it seems to me that the owners did not want to descend into the traditional style, which is already boring, but I would never have guessed that the restaurant was made on a Ukrainian theme. overall satisfied, the main problem for me is the prices, too expensive +taste of food +service +terrace overlooking the fountain -atmosphere -6€ per bottle of water

I just walked in. Heard the Muscovite and left. I've had enough of your Hello ....☹️.

The oysters were delicious, the mushroom soup and the chicken scallops were strong

Get a spot spontaneously in the evenings of the week. (It was only half full) I once had borscht as a starter and the Ukrainian-style schnitzel. Both were very tasty. The staff is super friendly and seems very competent. The ambience is also very relaxed. In general, the restaurant also makes a very well-kept impression.

Always excellent food. For me the best pelmeni in town.

Your food tasted good. The salads in particular were very well prepared. The main courses were OK too. Unfortunately, shish kebab was only available for pre-order... 5 days in advance. I'll deduct a star from you for that. Service was excellent and very accommodating. The ambience is good, the tables are large and the benches and chairs were comfortable. Overall, a solid 4 stars.

An excellent restaurant with equally excellent food and wonderful staff! Ukrainian national dishes are simply fantastic, the service is at the level and all requests are satisfied, I really liked it and hope that I will be able to visit here again, I recommend it to everyone who will be in Dresden! It’s very beautiful in the restaurant itself as well as in the courtyard of the restaurant!

Very good restaurant. Courteous waiters and good service. If you want to relax your soul, be sure to visit this restaurant

Highly recommended, food top (schnitzel, dumplings, cakes…)! Any time

We had a great time at the Odessa restaurant. Very tasty dishes. The menu is varied, there is something for everyone! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely come back)

A very cool institution. We took solyanka, borscht, dumplings with cherries - everything was very tasty. Food was brought very quickly, although the place was full. It's nice to feel at home! Development to you and many clients 🇺🇦

Staff is very friendly. Food very tasty. Price is optimal. I like it very much.

Very nice place. Very good food. Large portions. Worth a visit.

We went to the restaurant for lunch. The service is good, the atmosphere is cozy. The meal was delicious. The waiting time for the order was short. We ordered Ukrainian borsch, pelmeni, vareniki with mushrooms, roast and Kiev frikadele. The prices are reasonable.

Delicious soups and more... Amazing

Atmosphere and food brought back my nostalgia about my Ukranian hometown - Sevastopol. Cuisine was authentic and very tasty. Kvas was especially good.

Food and service ok, nothing exaggerating. Prices could be lower

Ukrainian-Russian restaurant "Odessa" was highly recommended by our local tour guide, Nicolo, and I was extremely pleased with the food, prices, service, and ambiance. Lunch ran about 20€ per person. The English menu was extensive and very well illustrated, so you know exactly what the dish will look like. See photo of my large mushrooms filled with minced meat on a bed of spinach with an unusually beautiful salad.

Великолепный обед, все остались довольны и сыты! Если еще предложили бы квасу, то все было бы прекрасно! Удобное расположение. Быстрое обслуживание.

We came to Dresden for 3 days with our family and on the first day we accidentally found this restaurant. After that, all three days we visited only it in order to try new dishes :) The kitchen is just super! Felt like home) Highly recommend! Especially those who yearn for their homeland.

We ate Kiev cutlets and knuckle. Everything was delicious. Large portions.

Wir waren zum wiederholten mal in diesem traditionell, ukrainisch, russischem Restaurant im Herzen der Stadt und gegenüber des Dresdner Zwingers. Wir hatten glücklicherweise Schaschlik vorbestellt und waren enorm begeistert. Das Schwein und Hähnchen, samt eingelegten Zwiebeln war geschmacklich hervorragend. Die Vorspeisen und vor allem das Baltika, konnten ebenfalls überzeugen. Die Bedienungen, gewohnt Charmant und aufmerksam. Wir kommen gern wieder. Müsst Ihr wissen !

We were again in this traditional, Ukrainian, Russian restaurant in the heart of the city and opposite the Dresden Zwinger. Luckily we had pre-ordered shish kebab and were extremely impressed. The pork and chicken, including pickled onions, tasted excellent. The starters and especially the Baltika were also convincing. The waitresses, as usual, charming and attentive. We'd love to come back. You have to know!

It was my first time trying Ukranian cuisine, so I cannot evaluate the authenticity. However the taste was good. It took some time to have the meals ready although it was low season.

If you miss Ukrainian food and want to come back to good memories about Odessa that is definitely the place to visit. When I open the menu I was positively shocked with so many options, and I literally wanted to taste everything)) The food was OK, but I still believe that in Ukraine it was better. That is might be because of the quality of vegetables in Germany, as they are different vs Ukrainian. Anyway, it was a good experience!

The food is very tasty, but the price is a bit high. The main courses and the classic soups are recommended.

Food was okay, I expected more local food but the menu was limited. Service was very quick, polite and friendly. General rating is actually 3.5 stars. If the map is expanded a bit it will be even nicer. I think I'll go back to try something else on the menu at some point.

Good food, but I recommend the dumplings, the rest is also ok, but you can eat anywhere, the place is nice, spacious, in a good location, the prices are a bit higher than in the center, there is a place to park the car nearby, there is a place to explore, the music plays quietly, the seats are comfortable, I recommend and invite you warmly

The food is very tasty! But we waited quite a long time for the order, the service is not at the highest level. Wi-Fi in the restaurant did not work.

We were there spontaneously and got a table. The food is really tasty and beautifully prepared. Portions are sufficient. Unfortunately one star was deducted because the food was not very seasoned. Ambiance is very nice. You can sit comfortably here. Staff is very nice, a little tip - a smile doesn't hurt!

Great menu, fair prices, nice ambience, fast service,

You can write a lot about the Odessa restaurant and describe how cozy and delicious it is here! You must visit here!

Pleasant atmosphere, delicious cuisine, cozy interior, summer terrace, excellent service. A piece of Odessa in the very center of Dresden. I highly recommend visiting!

Had dinner today for the second time in this restaurant. The kitchen is top notch, very tasty. The staff is also very nice. thank you)

The best chicken Kiev and piroshki I had in a long time 😋

Wir waren zu einer Geburtstagsfeier eingeladen. Das Essen war ausgesprochen lecker und super angerichtet. Auch der Tisch war wundervoll dekoriert. Es war sehr ansprechend. Sonst ist das Restaurant eher sehr schlicht eingerichtet, was mir persönlich nicht ganz so gefällt. Aber wer die russische Küche mag ist hier gut aufgehoben.

Mal ganz anderes Essen. Sehr schmackhaft

We were so glad we decided to stop by Dresden for a day in our Eurotrip, so that we could discover this little heaven! We went there in May, 2023. I was born in Brazil but my grandfather was born in Odessa!! The traditional Ukrainian food and beverages served here are divine! Superb! How good is to find such a place! The Kvass, the Warenyki and Pelmeni were perfection! Everything was so good! Ah, I wish you open another restaurant in Rio de Janeiro! Is it too far away for you lovely people?! Super friendly staff and incredible Ukrainian food! Can't recommend enough!

Вареники і котлета по-київськи 10/10 Не вистачає обслуговування українською, але в цілому приємний заклад.

Wir haben einen 50. Geburtstag gefeiert. Zuerst gab es verschiedene osteuropäische Salate, wundervoll lecker, eine Fisch- und eine Käseplatte. Später gab es , ausgelöste Hühnerteile (Hackfleisch-Pilz Mischung) und in Butter gegarten Lachs, es war sehr reichlich und lecker. Zum Abschluss haben wir uns für eine große Karamel-Schoko-Torte entschieden, einfach schmackhaft. Die Auswahl für Torten im Vorgespräch ist riesig. Wir danken dem gesamten Team das sie sich so gut um uns gekümmert haben.

Всё понравилось ❤️ приду ещё раз.

Ребята.. чай в пакетиках это было в 90ых или для немецкого общества, переходите на заварной это по нашему) Есть нюансы но в целом хорошо что вы есть.

Un vendredi soir nous n'avions pas fait de réservation et beaucoup de restaurants étaient complets. Nous sommes arrivés par hasard dans ce restaurant. Bonne surprise. Cuisine ukrainienne et allemande dans un décor simple mais sympa. Service agréable et assez rapide. Prix très doux

Sehr lecker und nette Bedienung! Authentische ukrainische Küche

Super Essen, man hätte sich durch die ganze Karte essen können. Bedienung war auch super angenehm, insgesamt ein toller Abend. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Nicht so viel auswahl und auch nicht so typisch ukrainisch, dafür aber lecker, wie hausgemacht und sehr höffliche und freundliche Bedienung

Klasse Menü, schnelle und freundliche Bedienung, traditionelle Speisen und sehr lecker zum guten Preisen.

Были первый раз в этом ресторане 😊 Очень понравилось)) Персонал приятный, еда очень вкусная, как дома)))) Обязательно вернемся туда и не один раз 👍

Очень вкусно, особенно солянка - покорила мое украинское сердце) Дружелюбный персонал!

Sehr leckeres Essen und netter Service.

Жахливий ресторан. Русня прикидається Україною. Ганьба! Відредаговано: Я хоч десь згадувала мову? Був би Українській заклад, хоча б не наймали русню, або поцікавилося україською культурою та стравами. І за бога, я не віруюча, мене цим не взяти. Відредаговано:Ми їздимо Європою на конкурси, де просуваємо Українське. Серйозно? Ваше "мне и так ясно с вами" до чого тут? Я хоча б не пишу російською. Ми українці, а у вас згадка за україну лише і назві, і то вона написана російською тому не кажіть тут "надо ещё подумать кто здесь русня и кто прикидываться".

Sehr schönes Restaurant. Nette Bedienung. Essen war ausgezeichnet.

Я хотел бы выразить огромную благодарность ресторану "Одесса" за помощь украинцам в тяжелый период, а также за невероятно вкусную еду! Мы посещали этот ресторан несколько раз со своей семьей, и каждый раз оставались довольны. Хочу отметить, что ваш Наполеон - просто божественный! Нежные слои бисквита и крема, тает во рту и оставляет незабываемый послевкусие. Это десерт, который мы обязательно заказываем при каждом посещении. Но, конечно, особое внимание заслуживает ваш борщ. Он, без преувеличения, один из лучших, который я когда-либо пробовала. Сочные кусочки мяса, свежие овощи и неповторимый аромат. Я смело рекомендую его всем! Спасибо вам, за ваше гостеприимство и невероятно вкусную еду! Вы принесли радость нам и многим другим украинцам, живущим в Дрездене. Мы обязательно будем возвращаться к вам снова и снова!

Очень остались довольны качеством и сервисом,вкусно ,киевская котлета сочная, муж заказал шницель, все было вкусно Рекомендую посетить ресторан,заранее нужно сделать резервацию

Большое спасибо за вкусный ужин и отличное обслуживание 🤍 Шашлык - огонь 🔥
