Odessa - Restaurant Cafe Bar Bei Zwinger in Dresden

A wonderful evening with music and delicious food. I can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

We made a reservation here for lunch after an event at the State Theater. That was a good thing, because the bright restaurant was well attended. The service was good and we received our order quickly. Too fast ? Unfortunately, the three blinys with salmon caviar were not the culinary experience we expected (21 euros). We know bliny very differently and not as thin, almost leathery and lukewarm pancakes at best. In my own experience, freshly baked, these look fluffier and still have a slight shine from the frying fat. Even the waitress's assurances about fresh preparation couldn't convince us. Too bad about the salmon caviar. Unfortunately, the side dish was just chopped lettuce leaves with an uninspired dressing. But the “down-to-earth” vareniki with sour cherries were a good choice. This is probably where the strengths of the kitchen lie.

Thank you, everything was great

Everything was very tasty ❤️ Good service and atmosphere 👍

Please, with respect, change the name from "Ukrainian" to "Russian" cuisine, it doesn't matter what the name is. If the Germans see that it is "Ukrainian cuisine" but in reality it is Russian cuisine with a few Ukrainian dishes, then people have wrong ideas about the two cuisines. Personally, I have quite foreign attitudes towards Russian culture, but since the whole thing is happening in Germany, I'll leave the whole thing to myself and just ask that you call everything by its correct name. I am a cook myself, so the cuisine of my country of origin is very important to me, Best regards, Tuhar

Borscht is bomb!!! Odessa salad is delicious!!! Dumplings with cherries just like grandma’s in the village!!!! Well done guys!!!

A great restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The food was really great. As a starter, solyanka and a borscht. Class in taste. Afterwards, some great pelmenis. We would visit the restaurant again! Great, keep it up.

I really liked it. In a word, everything is SUPER

It's all bare. You feel like you're in the homeless shelter at Dresden Central Station.

I was looking for a Ukrainian restaurant... and found this. Anything but expected. Pooh

Very nice, cozy restaurant. Nice service and very good food. Everyone was enthusiastic, the quantity was sufficient. Price/performance fits. We'll be back.

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful, truly Odessa homemade food. We received great gastronomic pleasure from Ukrainian borscht with wonderful pies. We will definitely come back here!

Very nice service, food and drink very tasty. We always like to come back. 😊🍀

Very tasty, everything is delicious, thank you

The four stars for the food are because my two companions weren't quite as satisfied. My starter and main course were very good, but we will definitely go there again

Large selection of dishes for dinner, location directly opposite the Zwinger.

I liked everything! Staff, food, service!

Everything is very tasty, everything you haven’t eaten is like home

What a pleasant dinner we had! The service is sincere (as if you were visiting dear friends), the food is delicious, homemade. The fur coat, borscht, dumplings with potatoes, and pancake were super. And what a honey cake 🤪 🍰 When we are in Dresden again, we will definitely stop by again!

Valenti pelmeni, superbi vareniki, calici di vino generosamente colmi, e pure un ottimo strudel di mele. Nota di merito per il personale che ha saputo accomodarci e servirci -- con rapidità e affabilità -- pur a pochi minuti dalla chiusura delle cucine.

Nice staff, delicious food. Finally, you can eat the food you are used to, take a herring under a fur coat (it came with four pieces of black bread) + honey cake. The salad was perfectly prepared, without a single bone. The honey cake was fresh and tasty, I paid about 15€ for everything, but you can get by with just one salad. If possible, better book your seats; I was there on a Sunday evening and managed to snag one table.

The solyanka was far too salty, the pelmeni had no seasoning at all and too much water (and that totally spoiled the sauce), and the medovik was completely tasteless. On top of that, prices were far too steep. Not recommended.

The expectations were much better than the reality. I ordered creamy soup with mushrooms and baked potatoes with mushrooms. The soup was too thin and the mushrooms were brown but that is nothing compared to the potatoes baked in creamy garlic sauce, the dish is completely untrue, I ordered this dish today, there was no garlic, no creamy sauce, the potatoes were poured with satsiki After I alerted the waiter to this problem, he took the dish and sprinkled it with DRY garlic. (The gravy boat with the sauce was also missing)

For the main course we had the meat skewer and salmon. Unfortunately the skewer was very mixed and generally tender. The salmon tasted good. We had chosen fried potatoes as a side dish, but unfortunately these were made like country potatoes. Too bad! For dessert we had the lentils with quark and raisins. Unfortunately not our case either. The taste was too bland for us.

Crecí en una zona de Canadá con mucha gente de origen ucraniano, y por lo tanto comí auténtica comida ucraniana con bastante frecuencia. Ese es el tipo de comida que sirven aquí; es auténtica, casera y absolutamente deliciosa. Su sopa es particularmente buena. Sus pasteles también son geniales. Comimos en el patio, que estaba muy bien decorado. El servicio era bueno. Los precios son razonables para la calidad de la comida. Más o menos encontramos este restaurante por accidente, ya que estaba cerca del Holiday Inn, pero si estaba en Dresde de nuevo lo buscaría.

Nice restaurant and good cuisine, can be recommended

Nice little restaurant near the Zwinger. Ukrainian cuisine is served, which is super delicious. Absolutely recommended!!!

great place, generous portions, friendly service, nothing to complain about, we recommend it

At first glance, the typical Ukrainian dishes seem simple, but they are prepared in a sophisticated and extremely tasty way, you want to try everything. The service is friendly and it's surprisingly cheap for the city center location.

The place is empty but you can't eat without a reservation. I don't recommend!

We had pelmeni with both garlic sauce and tomato sauce. Great. The cakes for dessert are also very good. The service is super friendly and attentive. Reservations are also advisable during the week.

One of my 4 favorite restaurants in the center of Dresden. Family-run Ukrainian restaurant with a small bar and a terrace in the leafy courtyard. All homemade, traditional dishes!!! Very nice service (perfect in German, Ukrainian & Russian) and mostly German, Ukrainian & Russian audience. Very professionally and deliciously prepared and served. Clear menu and sometimes there are also small parties and celebrations. Please keep it up!!

HOSPITALITY IS WRITTEN HERE Today we had a small rear-end collision right in front of the restaurant and had to wait over an hour for the police. An employee - or was it the owner - noticed the situation and invited us to their restaurant to wait and warm up. We were also invited for a cappuccino and had a very pleasant conversation. Something like that is not a given. Thank you very much again! And by the way: The restaurant has a great interior and the menu promises the most delicious food. We will definitely come back :)

Good Ukrainian food. A clear menu showing what a given dish looks like.

Get a spot spontaneously. The starter: tomatoes with cheese garlic cream was very tasty, both main courses were rather average. The bliny were very dry. We ate Russian food three times in Dresden and we liked it the least here. Unfortunately, the atmosphere wasn't very appealing either. Hardly any authentic drinks that you can get anywhere. The service was good and quick. We won't go there a second time.

Cool restaurant. Delicious Ukrainian food

Whenever we're in Dresden, we come here to eat! Everything is always very filling and tasty! The staff speaks German and Russian, which is very convenient and pleasant when you are served in a foreign country in your native language!

I would like to thank the management of the Odessa Restaurant, as well as all the staff for the excellent service (11/9/2024) and very tasty dishes.🫶 Great cold appetizers, awesome kebab!👌 Friendly, comfortable atmosphere for relaxation. We will certainly come here again and recommend it to everyone :)

Very, very great. Price-performance definitely fits.

Good institution delicious food Pleasant staff 👏🏻

Large portions, food is tasty, clean.

The atmosphere is romantic. Came here for a second date, ate solyanka, and polished it with honey cake. The lady poured some borscht and sucked down two pies with compote. Rated 10/10. This treat reminded her of the home she doesn’t have. We'll come here for our anniversary. Thank you

This restaurant was sent to me by a foreigner who wanted to taste Ukrainian cuisine together. At first, the name alarmed. After reading the reviews about the Russian language and the staff who don't even understand Ukrainian, I had my doubts. And when I read the reviews of the person representing the institution, I was completely horrified. I will definitely not visit and will discourage all foreigners (and not only) from visiting. You spend so much effort to respond to unsatisfied reviews. They could at least remove the menu in Russian and make it Ukrainian. Because if I had heard "hello" from the doorway, I would have turned around and left.

Nice place. The food is delicious, the staff is polite, there are no long delays. I liked everything, I recommend!

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!

Fue una muy buena experiencia en un restaurante muy decente. Empezamos con Borsch y otras dos sopas y terminamos con Pelmeni. Prueba la ensalada también. Muy sabroso. El servicio fue agradable. Recomendado.

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.

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

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!

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!!!

It was super tasty, like at home)

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

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

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 🇺🇦
