Ratskeller in Meißen

Our experience here was anything but special and beautiful! I ordered the rump steak but was served a pork medallion instead??!!. When we asked the waitress if it wasn't pork, she denied it and said they don't have pork on the menu. However, it was clear from the color and taste that the steak was not beef. The “steak” was also far too small for 180 grams. In general, the portions were so small that you wonder whether €15 for a salad with goat cheese on a starter plate is justified…

The Ratskeller is always worth a visit. We celebrated our 50th birthday there on a Saturday. The food was all very tasty and came very quickly. Service top! We'd love to come back.

Enjoy your meal. Nice staff. Good atmosphere.

The menu didn't convince us, the food was okay. Had a small tomato on the plate that didn't look so nice anymore. When I told the waitress I was argued with instead of an apology. I don't have to put up with that as a guest. I won't be going to the Ratskeller again.

Great food, large portions and very good taste too. Staff very friendly and everyone dressed uniformly, which I think is very good. Ambience very nicely done in the old style ☺️ was satisfied with everything 👍🏿

Beautiful restaurant, comfortably designed, lots of eye-catchers. Tidy menu with delicious dishes. Waiters are friendly. We ate there twice during our last short vacation.

Unser Abendessen war sehr lecker, kann ich immer wieder empfehlen. Das Personal war auch sehr nett und aufmerksam. Liebe Grüße, die Berliner!

I can only recommend the Müller restaurants in Meißen. When I visit the wine city, I always choose one of the restaurants. The food and drink menu doesn't make choosing easy. On my last visits to the Ratskeller, I chose one of the weekday dishes on offer and was always completely satisfied. There is no favorite for me, they are all recommended. This is matched by the excellent and attentive service from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. Since tipping is not possible with card payments, all very satisfied guests should use their cash. I would also like to praise the problem-free choice of seating as a single guest. That's not the case everywhere - thank you.

First of all, thank you for the culinary cuisine as a guest of friends. This is our third time there and the Müllers enchant us every year. A journey through 7 partner cities of Meißen. Vitry-sur-Seine in France, Arita-chö in Japan, Fellbach in Stuttgart, Corfu in Greece, Litomĕřice in the Czech Republic, Provo in the USA and Legnica in Poland. Each course will be briefly explained by the chefs, preparation and origin. We are already looking forward to next year. We'll try to come over like this this year. Of course we book a table in advance. Big respect to the 3 apprentices who served us and the other guests last night.

A great house, that's how gastronomy should be. Nice mix of regional, traditional and modern dishes. All very tasty. Large selection of regional beers and wines. The service was also very good.

Great, even if you just want to go for a drink there is a place for you

Unfortunately we won't be coming back here again. The staff was in a bad mood and we clearly felt this. When we asked in a friendly manner whether our tea was still coming after all the other orders had already arrived, the waitress whispered to us that she only had two hands. We were very surprised and didn't feel welcome. The food was good, but the prices are relatively high for the small portions. The ambience was nice, but was clearly dampened by the mood of the waitresses. Too bad. We recommend more professionalism in dealing with customers. Luckily there are other good places in Meißen.

We were here for the second time now and our impression was confirmed. A highly recommended house.

Beautiful and cozy restaurant with very nice and attentive service. Central location not far from the Elbe and the cathedral. Can highly recommend, good menu, tasty food

Sunday evening 5:30 p.m. Restaurant moderately busy. Attempted seating allocation on the grounds that there could be six more guests who would then need the selected table. “There are only two of you…” Yo Sister… now we are down to nothing and we are spending our money in a very excellent restaurant with free choice of seating.

We visited this restaurant twice and were impressed each time. Top service, great ambience and great food. When we are in Meißen again we go to the Ratskeller.

This is a typical Ratskeller with a vaulted ceiling and dark interior. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with friendly service. That was very pleasant. Luckily we got a table even without a reservation. We enjoyed our traditional Christmas dinner. We'll definitely come back.

Great place, the Ratskeller in Meißen, and if it weren't for the unfriendly service, you could enjoy it. The kitchen was perfect, Vinzenz Richter's wine was perfect, the service was subpar and unfortunately ruined everything. I didn't like the lamps, the waitress told me it was the boss's fault when I asked. At the beginning I asked if it would be ok if I brought some bread and cheese from home in my hand, it was ok. Later the wait staff commented that I had brought sausage - can't they tell the difference between bread and sausage? - I photographed it for Mr. Müller, the boss, and he probably knows Mr. Jörg Besser as the former city councilor of Meißen and me as the managing director of Hotel Schlossberg Meißen in bad times. The staff doesn't even know the area around Meißen within a 100 m radius. What can you say about that. The chef can't help it! He has his kitchen under control. But the boss didn't have his waiters/waiters, except the TRAINEES, she was able to answer my question very quickly about the receipt for cash payment. Of course there were no tips for this service. The cellar staff should have understood beforehand that the customer is also paying their future salary! The staff then threw me out, but then held back after paying in cash! Did the doorbell ring in your upstairs room? Then hops and malt wouldn't be lost. Kirsten Wodniok Vet.-Ing./Dipl.-Agrarian-Ing. and consultant for QMS, safety-environmental and safety management!

As always, super satisfied, delicious food, friendly service and price/performance ratio was perfect. Thank you.

Everything great! Very friendly staff, delicious food, cozy, always nice and highly recommended!

Were there for the Christmas party, super friendly staff, the food was very tasty and the portions were also very generous. The interiors and seating reflect the whole thing again, beautifully and invitingly. Definitely coming back! 😋😄

Very nice atmosphere, with nice staff. There is a star deduction for the price-performance ratio of the food. We expected a little more.

Food was good but a bit expensive

We were here for lunch which was park of excursion on the Viking river cruise to visit the city, the porcelain factory and museum also the Christmas market! Lunch was a set menu, consistent, with pumpkin and ginger cream soup, some sort of a chicken dish, which I don’t know and the Mulberry dessert! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. Specially the service all the waiter and waitress are very nice. They come to our table a couple times to ask what we like to drink also quickly refill our drinks glasses! This restaurant also next to the churches also next of the market! I wish the best for this restaurant. You’ve God permit my wife and I visit this city again. I would love to come back to have a meal’

My visit here was as part of a company trip. The order was placed in advance by telephone and was implemented smoothly. When we arrived the tables were reserved and the food was served after a minimal wait. Big praise, that doesn't work everywhere! I ordered the Ratsherrenschnitzel and found it really tasty! The portion size was also good. The atmosphere was pleasant and the toilets were clean. Conclusion: Recommended!

We had a really nice Christmas party with you yesterday, December 9, 2024, and it was better than last year. As a starter I had the spicy meat, which was simply delicious, and of course the only true Worcestershire sauce “Dresden style”. As a main course the burger with normal fries, to be honest I like going to Burger King but this burger is not worth comparing because it is in a completely different league. Very cool 🤩. For dessert, the creme brulee is a poem 🔥. The whole thing was rounded off by the super nice people who served us and always had a smile on their faces, even if Ralf unfortunately couldn't find the long tube 😉 for the apricot, combined with the Christmas market (where, by the way, the mulled wine in front of the restaurant was also very tasty is) a really nice evening with my colleagues. Thanks to the team and the kitchen ❤️‍🔥

The food was good, as was the service, but the restaurant is huge and the atmosphere was not so good for me.

Very nice gastronomy in Meißen. Great selection and great taste. The service is also at a top level. The arrangements made in advance with the restaurant worked really well. I can only recommend it.

Food weak, tasted warmed up. Simply too expensive for this quality. I've eaten better at the snack bar. The service is arrogant and not necessarily up to date when it comes to the dishes on offer. I don't have to have it again.

Today we unfortunately had a very disappointing lunch in the Ratskeller. We ordered the "ox cheeks with spaetzle and mushrooms" but what we got was just boiled beef that was very fatty and had absolutely no flavor. The sauce had the consistency of water and lacked any seasoning. The only edible thing on the plate was the spaetzle, which was somewhat okay. We returned most of our food as it really wasn't edible. Unfortunately, our feedback from the service did not lead to a friendly reaction - on the contrary, we felt treated rather unwelcome. After this disappointing experience, we are sure that we will not pay the Ratskeller another visit. Shame about the wasted lunch and the unpleasant service. 😡

Many thanks to the Müller family, our evening with friends was a culinary and completely successful experience. The staff was very friendly, the food and drinks were perfect!

We were well served in a cozy atmosphere at our family celebration on Saturday (November 9th). We would like to thank the entire team, also on behalf of our guests.

Very friendly staff with a taste for work clothing from Engelbert Strauss👍🏻 The beef roulade was not dry and well seasoned. In the end, it's not just the relaxed ambience that's convincing, but also the best Eierschecke in Saxony. Thank you for the lovely evening🍻

Super delicious food, friendly service

This is the first house in the area and the service knows it too. You can sit in the sun from early spring to late autumn and experience the foundations of the impressive Meissen town hall in the original from 1471. The cuisine is creatively German-rustic and is particularly recommended for alternatives to classic knuckle food.

Everything was right here, price-performance ratio was right, friendly, super fast service.

We visited the restaurant during the dead season (mid-November), but there were a lot of customers there. Regional atmosphere, plenty of tables and an interesting menu. We ordered soup and tartare, and delicious local beer. The service was top notch, the food was very good, but the portions were terribly small... in short, it was tasty, but we weren't full

Expensive German food. No miracle. The service is fine.

Restaurant in a central location, very cozy dining room, not too loud, service very courteous and attentive, although they forgot to serve a beer, there was an apology for that a round of schnapps for us. Gladly again!

The food was good to very good. The Ratsherrenschnitzel for €18.90 with fried potatoes and salad (filled with chorizo ​​and mountain cheese) tasted really good, but the meat wasn't as soft as it should be. You had to cut and bite it with force. Unfortunately the prices are a bit high. A beer at least €5.20, the meal accordingly. This is just "the house on the square", on the market, and well attended on Sunday evenings. Still, the wait wasn't long. The people of Meißen believe that they can charge as much as and more than in the state capital Dresden, not just in this restaurant. And the numerous tourists apparently pay for it. The service and wine recommendations from the restaurant manager Ralf Schöne were exemplary. We haven't been treated so politely and friendly for a long time. You also have to accept the high prices. That means: I would come again, but it couldn't become a regular place because of the prices.

I was cycling and just wanted fries - the waiter had it under control - before I sat outside the super tasty fries arrived! Great service!

Service and atmosphere was good but the food was unfortunately not up to the mark.

Вечером без брони сесть не реально. Попали только на второй день. Еда традиционная, по вкусу бывало и вкуснее. Большие порции, доесть не возможно. На четверых хватило бы и двух порций.

A great restaurant in the middle of the city. Service very friendly, food selection and quality very good.

We were rebooked here from the cathedral cellar and as compensation there was a delicious champagne on the house. Service was very friendly and tried hard despite the full house. Food delicious, menu varied. Prices fair.

We spent a great evening in the Ratskeller. All food and drinks exceeded our expectations. It's been a long time since I've had such a good sirloin steak. The wine list was very comprehensive.

Clear recommendation! Very good food, pleasant atmosphere and the staff is great. We'd love to come back. :-)

Super friendly and attentive service. The food was very good, we felt very comfortable. Big praise to the service staff, keep it up.

Furnished clockwise. Staff very courteous and attentive.

Top. Friendly service. Reasonable time until the food arrives. Some trainees in the service - it's great that they're being trained! We were continually cared for. Roulades were perfect. Good wine selection. For us there was nothing to criticize.

We were a group of 11 people and visited the Ratskeller in Meissen on the recommendation of the city bus driver Axel. We received a very friendly welcome and places were created especially for us. The ambience, the service and the food were great and we felt very comfortable. People still cook here themselves. There were, among other things, handmade beef roulades and red cabbage that tasted like a mother's. We will remember this restaurant fondly and recommend it to others.

Stopped in spontaneously with 6 people, received a friendly welcome and got a table straight away, despite numerous reservations. There was a menu for the children to color in, as well as pens, of course. Huge plus point for being child-friendly. Ambience very rustic and yet modern. Choice of food is definitely sufficient. The food is beautifully presented and really fills you up. Prices are very reasonable these days. All in all, a great restaurant, with fine dining. Keep it up.

We were very satisfied, everything was fine. The ambience was very nice, the service was very friendly and the food tasted very tasty. Kind regards

Quote from the waitress “I don’t have time for you now” We found a more hospitable place where they took time for us.

Very good restaurant, food and service are TOP. We'll definitely come back.

Very cozy atmosphere, old charm redesigned. The food was tasty and the portions were manageable. Staff friendly, attentive.

Unsere Essen waren Alle nicht wirklich gewürzt, ich hatte Schnitzel Wiener Art mit Pfifferlingen, schade es war einfach nicht lecker, es fehlte Butter, Gewürze, einfach Geschmacksneutral 😭

Very good food and friendly service.

Spontaneously had dinner here; Thanks to excellent advice, we had a very tasty wine with a great dinner. Very attentive, cheerful employees and a nice location. Recommended at any time. Very good price/performance ratio

The food was delicious, but the schnitzel or the entire portion was unfortunately a bit small! Unfortunately we weren't full... But it was delicious and the staff was nice!

Food is okay, but nothing more. The roulades were dry, the red cabbage was too sweet, the fried potatoes were soggy. The beer and wine were very good. Service ok too.

We were in the Ratskeller yesterday, Saturday, August 24th, 2024 at around 8:15 p.m. The waiter outside then informed us that the kitchen closed at 9 p.m. OK. It was also strange because I still got something to eat just before 10 p.m. the day before. The food was great, no complaints. At 9:30 p.m. the waiter started stacking the chairs on top of each other at the next tables where no one was sitting at the moment so that no one could sit down there anymore. Opening hours yesterday until 11 p.m.!!! You feel like, drink up, pay and leave. We think it's completely wrong. Maybe the service needs to be improved a bit.

We were here as a group, were given a table straight away, were served quickly by very friendly staff and the food tasted very good. My beef roulade was very tasty. The ambience in such an old, venerable building is also very nice. We'd love to come back.

Very good food, friendly staff.

SUNDAY in August,....Meissen Ratskeller simply relaxed, people like to spend money here. Food good, atmosphere very good, inviting. We have to go here again, maybe a gastronomic event.

Very good food and excelent service. Highly recommended.

I recommend it to everyone! Beef aspic - divine! Lemonade is delicious. Beer - everything is great! We will definitely come back!

A lovely place in Meißen serving good size portions of tasty food (we had herrings in an apple and yoghurt sauce with potatoes and generous salad - delicious and generous), and locally brewed beer. Service was excellent. Seating outside facing the square was a nice spot - there was also a lot of tables available in the square itself that were popular. One star lost on atmosphere because of the impact of other people’s smoke from other tables drifting across us - not something the restaurant can control.

Was here on vacation with my girlfriend. We went out for dinner in the evening and ordered the lamb shank and the stuffed pork schnitzel. Unfortunately the order wasn't placed correctly, but was then made up for with a small snack. The food and ambience in general were very appealing. The portions were reasonable, I can particularly recommend the lamb shank.

Enjoyed fine family lunch during our German roadtrip. Excelent service and superb food. Fish is very interesting, beef is great. nice selaction of beer and wine.

Was in the Ratskeller today and had the ribs. Food was perfect, service was super nice and a place at the Meissen market is also nice. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Despite the difficult situation with personnel, great hospitality. Great food, exciting drinks. Thank you very much for the lovely evening.

I spent a very nice evening with my wife. Unfortunately all the seats on the outside terrace were occupied, so we got a table inside. In the end it was the right decision. Because outside, even under the umbrella, it would have been too warm. At first I had the feeling that the waitress wouldn't be happy that she now had to serve inside. That fell apart very quickly. She was extremely polite. About the kitchen: fantastic, excellent and extremely tasty. I should know, I come from the catering industry. All in all, it was a successful evening. Thanks to the team, especially the kitchen 😘, but also to the friendly service staff, with whom we were able to have stimulating conversations with trainees, etc. Thanks so much.

Food is okay, not great. Staff unfriendly unfortunately. The place is cozy and so is the atmosphere.

Delicious food in the heart of Meißen. Especially in summer it is really wonderful to enjoy delicious food outside. Great service.

It was exactly the right place for a cold beer on the market square late at night. Friendly service and a good selection of drinks!

Didn't get to eat at this restaurant. We were greeted by unfriendly staff, so we chose to take our seats ourselves. After bringing the menu, we wanted to order drinks right away, but the waitress didn't take the order because we couldn't communicate - we speak English, she only speaks German. We thought he would call another waiter, but after some time he came to us again and asked us to place our order. We couldn't communicate again, and when I asked if he could speak English, he turned and walked away. We also got up and left. It's strange, but a tourist place, the town center and such service - I didn't ask to speak Lithuanian! Very bad - I do not recommend it.

Value for money is right. It's nice to sit outside in the summer. There is something for every taste, whether with or without meat.

I was here today with my family. The food was very delicious, I had the burger with the sweet potato fries and it was just a treat. My family also loved the food. I will definitely come back here again.

Unfortunately the service staff wasn't particularly friendly, which is a shame

Een gezellige sfeer, een hele aardige ober, ontspannen . Zeker een drankje en hapje waard. Lekkere wijnen , zeker de Grau Burgunder proberen .

Cozy, tasty, price/performance ratio is right. Very friendly service, very good advice. We've been there before and would love to go again.

Very tasty and a different offer every day.

We chose the fillet steak twice at the table. Both meals were only warm at best, some of the side dishes were only lukewarm (kaiser peas). Plates weren't warmed up or were already cold again. My counterpart's steak was too far through and out of the fillet head even to be well done (tender), mine was still too bloody for medium (but ok for me) and the meat structure was generally quite firm. So there could be no talk of a “loose fiber structure” as described on the card. If you consider that you pay just under €40 for a fillet steak with two side dishes, then the price/performance ratio is pretty bad. For the price I expect a perfect meal. Friday evening, pretty full, service OK.

Price and performance did not match here. The service seemed rushed, despite there being fewer guests. The portions were manageable despite the high price. The meat of the burger was still raw and the fries were extremely greasy.

A taste of Meissen in the “Rastkeller” I had the pleasure of visiting the “Rastkeller” restaurant in Meissen and I can safely say that it was a culinary experience. Here are my impressions: Ambiance and cleanliness: The “Rastkeller” exudes a cozy atmosphere, with lots of wood and friendly furnishings. Everything was spotlessly clean and the tablecloths were freshly ironed. It was welcoming and the perfect place for a relaxed dinner. The food: I ordered the lamb shank and a beer (Elbsommer). The lamb shank was tender, juicy and covered in a rich sauce. The spices were perfectly balanced and the meat melted in your mouth. The beer was refreshing and went great with the dish. The service: The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They took the time to answer my questions and even recommended a wine pairing. Conclusion: The “Rastkeller” in Meißen is a hidden gem for anyone who loves German cuisine. I can highly recommend it!

Today in the Ratskeller. The food was delicious and the service staff were great. We really liked it and we will come back.

Four of us recently went to the restaurant for lunch. Everything was very tasty and, above all, plentiful. Here you get something for your money :-) The service was ok in terms of friendliness, but there is still room for improvement ;-)

Das Essen kann ich nicht bewerten. Wir wurden unhöflich und absolut unfreundlich am Eingang abgefertigt! Auch wenn keine Plätze frei sind erwarte ich eine angemessene Antwort und nicht ein Satz „ haben sie nicht reserviert, da was suchen sie hier!“

Eat good, good, friendly, fast service nice atmosphere with opportunities to sit outside. Cars are also allowed to drive across the square and that's a bit annoying (there weren't many of them). Nevertheless, I felt very comfortable there, even with the view of the Meissen Frauenkirche and its beautiful porcelain carillon.

Very tasty food and very nice staff.

Friendly and fast service right on the historic market square!

Visited there for the first time. Great service, prices rather high, quality excellent. Reservation is recommended!

Full 5 stars. A rustic atmosphere, great staff and, above all, delicious food. You feel welcome here. Price/performance ratio good. Card and cash payment possible.

Nice and friendly employees. Good food that is even served on preheated plates! Even our dog was given attention and given a bowl of water. We recommend!

I always enjoy coming back. Great food!

Bad food. Bad drinks. Bad service. 11pm closing time. Good night.

Had dinner there on the recommendation of our guesthouse. A reservation in advance definitely makes sense. Service was very friendly and quick, food was very good, several vegetarian/vegan options, the price was okay for old town standards. Happy to come back!

Went to the Ratskeller twice in a row. It is a very nice restaurant, very lovingly furnished with a very friendly and courteous service staff. We enjoyed the food very much

For the first house on the site, the food was terribly bad. Raw potatoes were definitely warmed up 3 times... Schnitzel with cheese filling was definitely a ready-made product or frying pan......Never again
