Pulverturm in Dresden

Absolute hammer! Location + food TOP

Soup (Solyaka) was good Unfortunately not at the main entrance Chicken drumsticks with sesame were completely missing from Würzburg, Cannonball was completely nothing, sauce tasteless, salad no dressing, Roulade nothing special and without any spices Goulash was the only food that was relatively tasty Operation is quick at the beginning but unfortunately doesn't ask if everything fits. Unfortunately, we are totally disappointed. We were in the other restaurant yesterday with the group and totally thrilled Too bad.

A great experience. The food was delicious, the service was really great. We'd love to come back!!!

Unfortunately, the quality of the beef roulade, as well as the sauerbraten, was hardly worthy of a restaurant. Uniform sauce was the finishing touch to the whole thing. However, it must be mentioned that the staff in the restaurant at least tried hard.

A ray of hope in Dresden! Great service, great food and even a private magician's performance at the table.

Incredible atmosphere. At lunchtime we went to a show (magic tricks, singing). The food is delicious - German.

The food was good but the portions were VERY small. The service is good and the ambience too

Super tasty food, friendly service, nice ambience and clean toilet. Definitely recommended!

Something special visually and tastefully. An insider tip for lovers of hearty cuisine in a unique, historic and rustic ambience. The powder keg is inconspicuous from the outside and the entrance is below the pedestrian path near the Frauenkirche because the restaurant is underground. And you have the impression of having traveled back in time several centuries. Fantastic! You should definitely make a reservation because it is always full.

Very cozy restaurant, very good food, large selection. It's not cheap but it's definitely worth it!

Great location! Super friendly welcome and super friendly service. With laughter... Food is also very good. Highly recommended!!

What a great evening in the Pulverturm 😃 The location is definitely an “eye-catcher” Service very friendly and quick. The dishes were all very tasty 😋 We'll be back...

Super tasty, great atmosphere, little more to say. The homemade bread as a starter is amazing

Tourist restaurant, service friendly, food too expensive for the quantity and quality.

Mega tasty, very courteous service. Our dog was also happy about his food. We were here again after two years and it got even nicer. Keep it up... We'll definitely be back

The suckling pig immediately caught our eye and so we had to order it. The service was friendly but was probably in a hurry or generally led a hasty life. Unfortunately, the suckling pig was not convincing. There was more floating in the broth of the herb than in its own sauce. In terms of taste, it was rather laff. The taste of the herb was not our cup of tea.

The solyanka was terrible, it just tasted like ketchup!! Fries were very tasty but unfortunately the ribs were not marinated, the meat was not marinated with pepper or salt, only the marinade was smeared on top of the ribs.

Exceptional restaurant, hearty and very good food. Friendly staff

Originally I had to go to the toilet, asked in the powder tower. The service welcomed me in a friendly manner and showed me the way. I was so impressed that we decided to end our evening here. We weren't disappointed! Vegan, vegetarian, meat and fish dishes = something for everyone. Our son immediately received painting materials and a crown. The magician and musician entertained us with a fishing piano. All in all a delicious experience with attentive service. See you soon

Just OK. The two of us were here during the week and got a table with a short-term reservation. The table and chairs were very uncomfortable, and very annoying marching music played in the background (all evening long). Overall, the dining room looks a bit run down and outdated. The service was friendly and prompt, drinks and food came quickly. My starter (potato soup with sausage) was relatively tasteless and tasted like a ready-made product. The main course (suckling pig) was fried to perfection, but also tasteless. The sauce tasted like a ready-made product, as did the sauerkraut. All in all, I was full, but it was by no means a pleasure. I think in the future there should be a little more emphasis on quality and taste and less on speed and portions for tourists.

Unfortunately we had to wait over an hour for our food!

Cool and very nice, courteous staff. A highlight is the ambience. Really great. The food.........excellent. We'll be back!!

You just have to try it out, sensational. 👍👍👍

A very nice, large restaurant with a wonderful ambience, we felt very comfortable, very good food and drinks, everything was clean and tidy, nice, friendly staff.

I've been here for the third time now and it's always an experience. This time we had booked the last meal. All I can say is, super beautiful. Thanks again to the whole team for the great evening. LG K.G.

Exciting restaurant with delicious offers. Everything is trimmed to the 18th century, including the service staff. When it's full, it can be quite noisy due to the narrow basement corridors. But the food is definitely worth it.

Pascal musketeer and his magic tricks did our evening, thanks!

Great place with great charm. The food was super tasty and the staff was super friendly. The prices are okay.

Just wow! A great experience, not just the food, the ambience and the staff!! Everything is great! We'll be back

Very nice location with nice staff. The ribs were super tasty and the meat fell off the bones on its own 🍖 🤤 Unfortunately the fries 🍟 were way too hard, almost like chips, which I didn't think was that good for the price!

Actually 6 stars. The food was excellent, the ambience was great, the entertainment was fantastic and Thomas was the best cellar you could have asked for. Everything was great and will be back soon.

beautiful medieval restaurant.staff very friendly and accommodating. the food is super delicious. All in all...great...we'd love to come back.

Funny people. Good food in medieval walls.

First visit to this restaurant, very well maintained and very rustic gastronomy and a great kitchen.

Solid classic German food. out of the 3 dishes we had, 1 was excellent, 1 was good, 1 was mediocre, and all in all not bad for German food. Service is slightly slow, but considering we visited outside of typical dining hour in late afternoon, I'm not complaining. Can recommend for a taste of German classics.

We were there with a group and spent an unforgettable evening in Dresden. The Saarlanders

The place is very striking at first glance, it is themed and the decoration simulates being a tavern from another era. We liked the food, especially the salad. Recommended if you are looking for where to dine in Dresden.

Always happy when I'm in Dresden and want to drink a good beer

Food was very tasty, very nice and considerate staff. Always in a good mood. Great ambience steeped in history, lovingly cared for.

We were the first restaurant in Dresden to look for something more rustic and found it in the Pulverturm. We ate outside so the Frauenkirche provided the ambience. The food was delicious and we got to know the Eierschecke straight away. The service was quick, attentive and with a rustic sense of humor, but that's what we're used to in Cologne.

Hearty German cuisine with regular shows by “historical” figures. Good service and short waiting times.

As a guest here you feel like you have been transported to another time. Very friendly and attentive service. Dogs are very welcome. We'll be back - promise.

Wir waren mit ca. 80 Personen vor Ort. Für solche Massenveranstaltungen ist der Pulverturm gut geeignet. Essen gab es als Buffet. Die Speisen waren in Ordnung. Natürlich kann man auch mit kleineren Gruppen oder auch alleine hier essen. Nette Lokalität die touristisch ausgelegt ist.

This location has both outdoor and indoor seating. The indoors is underground and in an ancient setting with a lot of different rooms including cave-like sitting areas. The performers are friendly, funny, and spend a considerable amount of time at each table. The portions are extremely generous. Food was excellent taste and quality.

Experience gastronomy at its finest! The waiters are in a good mood and you can tell that they enjoy their job. The food is very good and plentiful and the prices are reasonable for the location in the middle of Dresden. It was a really positive experience and we can only recommend this restaurant.

Inconspicuous from the outside, but a really great location inside, tasty and sufficiently large portions, mainly hearty dishes. Service very friendly, prices appropriate for location, quality and ambience.

Not only do you eat well there, you also have great entertainment.

Very good food, with animation. Even charged my empty cell phone briefly

Home cooking in an appropriate atmosphere!

Great food and desert. Definitely worth it. Not so nice waiter though. Still recommend.

Been here several times... great ambience, good food... nice service, everything is perfect here. I'll be back soon...was there again yesterday about 1.5 years later, good food again, great atmosphere, good service, just great.

So apart from the fact that the prices in restaurants in Dresden are very expensive anyway, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. The supposedly good sauerbraten was very tough and fatty for all of us, instead of tender and juicy, which definitely shouldn't be the case at such a price. The other dishes were also sufficient to satisfactory. Location is great but unfortunately the food is below average to average

Simply a dream.....with this ambience and the delicious 😋 food...what more could you want

Super cool restaurant experience

Here you can eat well, relax, and relax

This place is always an experience...fantastic all around

Food is very good. But I waited half hour to pay. I asked a waitress at the beginning, but she disappeared and never show again. So I had to ask another waiter after 20 minutes. (Maybe some people think this is normal, but I think spending half hour for putting a bank card on a POS machine is a waste of time.)

One of the best places in Dresden. Great, tasty beer and food. Good service, polite and friendly staff. Recommended if you are a tourist in Dresden.

Unique dining experience with its historical ambiance and staff dressed in period attire, transporting you back in time. The service is excellent, with friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The menu features delicious, authentic German cuisine, making it a perfect spot to enjoy traditional dishes in a memorable setting.

Beautiful and rustic restaurant with friendly and fast service. The dishes are well seasoned and delicious. But you shouldn't be too hungry; one portion might not be enough. The price level is therefore quite sporty. Unfortunately, we sat in the large hall, which was well filled with plenty of people. This made it very loud.

Super great place. Always my pleasure

Very nice location right in the shadow of the Frauenkirche - we sat outside and enjoyed it. If at all, 5-6 cars drove slowly through the area that was actually designed as a pedestrian zone. The food and service were really great - especially the suckling pig was really tasty

Service staff very nice and open about your food. You could taste that the dumplings were made from a ready-made mixture, which was standard uniformity like for many people. But when asked, they handle it openly. The red cabbage was good and not overcooked. Roulades were great.

posto storico molto carino, ambiente storico, coinvolgente, cibo buono e servizio all'altezza delle aspettative, bene

Delicious traditional Saxon food, waitresses dressed in traditional clothing, reasonable prices and historic decor. Beautiful

The staff was very friendly. Within 15 minutes the food was on the table and the entertainment by various actors was totally appropriate for the ambience.

Nice environment! Quick service! What was missing was proper air conditioning!

Great ambience, funny staff & huge delicious portions 😊

Quite nice, but unfortunately bad-tempered, very right-wing/AfD-leaning service. So I just had a quick drink and left.

Nice experience gastronomy. Excellent food, very friendly and humorous service. Rich menu. Be sure to try funnel drinking! It works! We felt very comfortable, thank you to the Pulverturm team

Restaurante situado en la zona turística de la ciudad. El ambiente y la decoración del local está encarado a atraer al turismo. Los precios son elevados, y eso ya nos lo imaginábamos teniendo en cuenta la zona en la que estábamos. ¡Nuestra sorpresa fue que los precios eran desorbitados! Me parece extremadamente exagerado cobrar 7,50€ por una botella de agua de menos de 1L. DENIGRANTE Y VERGOÑOS!!! Quisimos comer platos típicos del país, los cuales eran generosos de cantidad, pero no estaban especialmente buenos (en comparación a los que hemos probado en otros restaurantes). Los camareros, por lo general, eran simpáticos. Lo que nos atendió era muy bromista, hasta el punto de hacerse muy pesado.

Cozy place. Large portions and tasty food.

Great restaurant with exciting rooms! Friendly staff. The food we ordered was simply delicious!

The dish was so yummy that I ate as much as I usually can’t eat!

perfect service. really enjoyed!! I was impressed for the welcome card which my reservation name is printed. food was also so nice. i will visit again definitely

Super nice ambience, very nice staff and the food was great, always worth a visit, highly recommended... and have fun drinking the tears of the Cosel 😊

Mega cool restaurant, the service was great. You don't see waiters like that every day. You just ordered something even though you were already full. The interior design was really great. We would definitely come back.😋Many thanks to our waiter Thomas

Ein gelungen Abend mit - sehr gutes Essen - schönes Ambiente - gute Unterhaltung - aufmerksame Mitarbeiter Einfach zu empfehlen

The food is very tasty and the service is great. Every now and then a musician or juggler appears which lightens the mood. With a certain number of people it gets very warm down in the basement. If that doesn't bother you and you like German cuisine, this is the right place. Price-performance is definitely right. We can recommend it.

Lovely spot near the Frauenkirche and the square. The service is friendly and the food was great! The mac and cheese was nice and creamy and with a bite of fried onions!

Everything was wonderful, highly recommended 👍

Extraordinary atmosphere in there. Just the way I like it - medieval style.

I went to Germany. This restaurant was an experience of the renaissance time era. It was an amazing experience.

Always happy. The food was good and the service was also very nice. And the entertainment was also provided so that the wait for the food didn't take that long. It was a very nice evening 😀😀

Nice ambience, great service, food was ok, there's still something going on.

I visited the Pulverturm with friends several times this year. An inconspicuous restaurant. But inside it is a restaurant with a great interior. And every time I haven't been disappointed. A visit to the Powder Tower is definitely a must when visiting Dresden. Delicious food served by a funny waiter. That's the way it has to be. In my opinion, the prices of the food are more than acceptable for a restaurant in the heart of Dresden. Of course everyone can judge for themselves. In any case, I always feel comfortable as a guest in the Pulverturm.

The server we had was a bit cheeky, but in a good way. He was teasing us a bit, but still remaining kind and professional. The meat we had was well prepared, and while the sides (especially the sauerkraut) was to taste, they were a bit simple. Happy with the visit still, would come back

Very nice historic restaurant. The food and service are traditional. Very romantic atmosphere, as if you were immersed in the old days.

This was our second time in the Powder Tower. The first time was really great, but today it was a complete disaster! We had reserved a table. Then a large group arrived and from then on we hardly received any service. We only received the drinks promptly. We waited well over an hour until the appetizer finally came. The service was completely overwhelmed. At the end she also became quite unfriendly. The excuse was: we have a group here now and I can't do it. If you apologize, okay... but if you want to pay and are still ignored and have to ask three times and wait there for 30 minutes, at some point that won't work anymore. It was very hot today and we asked for water for our dog about 5 times. When we asked for the fifth time, the blame was placed on the trainee. That just doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, the food is no longer what it used to be. Dry the knuckles and add salt to the potato wedges. It's a shame, but we won't go there again.

We were greeted very friendly by the head waiter who told us that the table would be allocated after 2 hours🤢The waitress didn't speak much German, so several orders were wrong and she reacted rudely to them. The food was very tasty and... Conversations with the musical macadian girls and Countess Cosel were amusing.

Great ambience, good service, with a sometimes funny waitress. Our food wasn't that good today. It was tasty, but nothing more. It wasn't a taste explosion.

The food - suckling pig - was delicious and couldn't be made better. The ambience was also harmonious. In order to be able to have a proper conversation with colleagues, you would need more peace and quiet, which was not available due to an "entertainer" whose job it was to encourage visitors to sing along.

An ice cream late at night 🍨 Great

Super nice restaurant, with delicious food.

Unique atmosphere, something from the Middle Ages. Service courteous, fast, in a good mood. Food, good large portions, short waiting time. Very tasty, our group enjoyed everything. There is also live entertainment. If you're in the area, it's a must. We'd love to come back

Unfortunately a bit noisy in the basement but there is something going on. Food was rather so-so, has potential to be better. Entertainment by staff great.

Classic German/Saxon cuisine, but the meat didn't fully convince me.

It was my first time there and I wasn't impressed at first because the look and layout reminded me a lot of scam theme park restaurants. But we were recommended suckling pig and were very positively surprised, it was very tasty and the service was super nice! Personally, I'm not a fan of disguises and decorations when eating, the restaurant doesn't have to hide behind it, but there are enough people who think that kind of thing is great, so it's probably okay 👍🏼 Try suckling pig!

Very tasty and friendly service

It was super delicious. One of the best suckling pigs I have ever eaten. And there was also a lot of crust. The service was super friendly and funny. Prices are completely ok and the ambience is great. We will be back definitely!
