Restaurant Genuss-Atelier in Dresden

We were here for the second time. The first time for dinner, today for lunch. But no matter what time of day: very good service, great ambience and, above all, excellent food. We had the surprise menu, which was well coordinated and tasted very interesting. The kitchen's greetings were excellent, the oysters were fresh, the food sequence was balanced and very tasty. Overall, a very nice time. We like the different herbs, spices and preparation options.

We came from Leipzig specifically to spend a lovely evening in the Genuss-Atelier following recommendations. Really great restaurant in a cozy, suitably furnished vaulted cellar including very friendly, individual service and a high level of advice on the dishes and corresponding wines. We chose the 8-course menu and were absolutely thrilled with the menu sequence, the selection of regional products, the presentation and the matching wines. The kitchen and service are a well-rehearsed and friendly team. The price level is also quite moderate for a star restaurant. This won't be the last time we've enjoyed a wonderful evening here!

Very good restaurant in a cozy and well-equipped vaulted cellar with great and individual service and a high level of advice on food and the corresponding wines.

The kitchen and service are a well-rehearsed and friendly team. The price level is also quite moderate for a star restaurant.

Exceptionally good food and service. The two of us had the 6 course menu and every single course was delicious. There was one or two pieces of information or delicacies with individual courses or with the wine, very pleasant. For a small family with a baby, the porridge they brought with them was even warmed up in the house and the can was returned cleaned. That's what I call service! I can only recommend the Genussatelier if you want and can spend a little more for very good food. Thank you and gladly again!

Very nice high quality restaurant. Very good service, fine food and a superbly selected wine pairing by the sommelier. All of this seems completely irrelevant. Of course, this cuisine and the wines are higher priced, everyone should be aware of that beforehand.

Excellent cuisine. The food was extremely tasteful and beautifully prepared. Art comes from skill. Menus / menu can be combined. Individual preferences are taken into account. Menu varied. Pleasantly quick, very friendly, calm and careful service. Pleasant atmosphere. We quite rightly received a Michelin star. Very reasonable prices for what is offered.

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder 14 und 16) waren an einem Freitag zum Auftakt eines Dresden - Wochenendes mit der Familie zum Abendessen im Genuss-Atelier und hätten uns keinen besseren Start wünschen können. Im Sommer mag das Ambiente im Souterrain - Gewölbe gewöhnungsbedürftig sein, im Herbst/Winter ist es toll. Das Restaurant ist zurückhaltend modern, aber sehr angenehm möbliert. Der Service an unserem Abend war top, ein sehr junger, aber sehr versierter Kellner, der locker war ohne flapsig zu sein und sich dabei sehr aufmerksam zeigte. Da nicht alle von uns das Menü nehmen wollten, haben wir á la carte gegessen und so dank der sehr unterschiedlichen Bestellungen einen fast vollständigen Querschnitt der Karte erleben können. Die Vorspeisen waren allesamt sehr stark; wenn man unbedingt etwas herausheben möchten, dann waren der Thunfisch und die Entenleber (was für ein schöner Teller, sowohl von der Optik, als auch von den einzelnen Komponenten) vielleicht die primi inter pares. Wunderbar auch der Seeteufel mit Blutwurst und der Hirsch, wobei die Ente ihm kaum nachstand. Die Weinkarte ist - bis auf Champagner - strikt regional gehalten, was für uns Erwachsene zwangsweise zu ein paar Neuentdeckungen führte, die uns aber überwiegend (sehr) positiv überraschten. Für Dresden Besucher (die Ortsansässigen dürften es ja ohnehin kennen :-)) mit dem Wunsch nach gepflegtem Fine Dining ist das Genuss-Atelier nicht nur eine klare Empfehlung, sondern eigentlich ein "Muss".

Wir waren anlässlich unseres Hochzeitstags im Genuss Atelier, da wir uns was Besonderes gönnen wollten. Das hatte ich bei der Reservierung angegeben, spielte aber vor Ort für niemanden außer uns eine Rolle. Das Essen ist wirklich top, auch für Vegetarier gibt es außergewöhnliche Kreationen. Präsentation auf dem Teller sowie geschmacklich sehr ansprechend. Service so la-la. Wir hatten den Eindruck, etwas arrogant behandelt worden zu sein, da wir nicht das große Menü, sondern nur drei Gänge ausgewählt hatten. Was uns gar nicht gefiel, daher nur drei Punkte, war das Ambiente. Es hat so gar nichts Romantisches im Sommer im Garten zu sitzen und dem Straßenlärm von Autos und Straßenbahn ausgeliefert zu sein. Die Hecke schirmte nicht viel ab. Leider war der Gewölbekeller geschlossen. Hätten wir das gewusst, wären wir dort nicht im Sommer hingegangen. Fazit: für Touristen und Geschäftsessen besser geeignet als für romantische Abendessen - zumindest im Sommer.

Thank God, we are not living in a dystopian culinary novel in which Michelin guide is an address book of a global high-end dining chain with the same menu in each part of the world. Our reality is far much better: the restaurants acknowledged with Michelin stars are very diverse, they should and indeed offer unique experience. Genuss-Atelier is undoubtedly doing it, otherwise the esteemed anonymous inspectors wouldn’t have given it the star. And its uniqueness is perfectly fitting to my personal taste. Elegant and cosy atmosphere in a stylishly renovated cellar; service that is neither obtrusive nor condescending, but competent, efficient and respectful, wine list representing crème de la crème of the regional wine production, and food which I will remember in details for the rest of my life. The creations of Chef Blonkowski and his team are modern and at the same time referring to different culinary traditions; imaginative with strong accent on the seasonal, and delightfully surprising with a carefully considered blending of flavours, textures and colours. But what really won my heart and gets my personal highest ranking is that I and my partner could enjoy this amazing food in a charming atmosphere without feeling embarrassed for not being affluent and without busting our budget. Haute cuisine is an art in which are used best quality ingredients, so understandably it has a price, and yet in this restaurant you can appreciate it in an affordable way. Which for me matters because I don’t see Michelin guide as a platform assisting status display of rich people but as an acknowledgement and celebration of gastronomy at its best. If you share this opinion, it’s definitely worth visiting Genuss-Atelier.

Während eines langen Wochenendes haben wir Dresdens Sterneküche durchprobiert. Das Genussatelier hat uns dabei am besten gefallen. Hier stimmt einfach alles und ich wüsste nicht, was man besser machen könnte.

Excellent cuisine and great service.

En el cielo Michelin hay diferentes constelaciones y, sin embargo, aquellas como Genuss - Atelier brillan más - no hay mucho dinero detrás, pero enormes conocimientos, experiencia y talento de los hermanos Marcus y Nicole Blonkowski y su dedicado equipo. Estacional, regional, creativo puede sonar una fórmula simple pero su ejecución en este caso no es más que. Los platos están compuestos con la precisión y la imaginación de una pieza musical - colores, texturas, sabores forman una unidad artística basada en la comprensión profunda y la consideración de los ingredientes. Las coles de Bruselas pueden tener un sabor increíblemente interesante y una manzana puede transformarse mágicamente en una joya inolvidable de postre de múltiples capas. Incluso mi compañero que duda de que la cocina sea un arte admitió que su venado sabía increíble, de una manera que experimentó por primera vez. La selección de vinos muestra lo mejor que la región puede ofrecer, el servicio es muy competente y equilibrado, el interior es elegante, inventivo y se adapta al espíritu de la comida extraordinaria. Y no solo los diablos sino también los ángeles están en los detalles - me encantó la ingeniosa colocación de los cubiertos, la tabla para las salsas, la vajilla, la nota de reserva. Una verdadera perla en la corona de Dresde.

Very interesting menu and flawless service , i had winter menu, which was very good , 5 stars are well deserved , PS i only wonder why some people také pictures of their dishes …decency belongs to the fine dinning as much as great food

10/10 from start to finish. A dream. Please keep it up!

We had the 8 course meal At the 6th dish we were already quite full But all the sauce added up was a bit too much Sauce was quite heavy though tasty Wine paring was fine Bad note The sommelier said that we had to rush as the restaurant was going to close at 15.30 although we came it at 12.30 The waitress was very professional taking note of our comments after our meal Overall good food ; duck was cooked to perfection Kalamansi dessert was a bitter too sour for my taste I would recommend cut down one plate for a more balanced full course meal We surely had some oysters and caviar for starters but I do not think that would have changed much Next time we pop in we will choose from the menu instead of the 8 course meal or a 6 course meal Very reasonably priced

Came here on my first trip ever to Dresden (and Germany) and was very pleasantly surprised. I did the six course surprise menu which was too much food for me but very delicious. I was coming off of being sick so didn’t do the wine pairing but looked like a great value. There were a few veggie opening courses after an amuse Bouche that were great, a fish course that was also delicious, a duck course (would’ve liked a touch more salt on the meat), and a couple of dessert courses. I appreciated that they adapted the banana chocolate dessert to have less dairy for me and such fun texture combinations. If I have the opportunity to return to Dresden, I hope to be back!

Unser Besuch im Genuss-Atelier anlässlich unseres Jubiläums war ein wahrer Genuss in jeder Hinsicht. Das Menü war nicht nur kulinarisch ein Erlebnis, sondern auch visuell ein echtes Highlight – jedes Gericht war kunstvoll angerichtet und ein Fest für die Augen. Die Auswahl an besonderen Weinen, die perfekt auf die Speisen abgestimmt waren, hat den Abend zusätzlich bereichert. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den herausragenden Service von Oliver. Seine Kompetenz, Aufmerksamkeit und Freundlichkeit haben dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns rundum wohl und bestens betreut gefühlt haben. Ein großes Kompliment an das gesamte Team – wir werden diesen besonderen Abend noch lange in Erinnerung behalten und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch!

Genuss-Atelier - the name couldn't be more appropriate My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here a few weeks ago and were absolutely thrilled. We opted for the 5-course surprise menu with a wine tour. The staff was very friendly, professional and accommodating. The special features of both the dishes and the wine were explained to us. After a plate was empty, it was taken away almost immediately, without it being intrusive or annoying. Every single dish was a visual (the arrangement of the dishes themselves and each time a plate that supported and highlighted the color of the food) and tasteful work of art. Not only could several nuances be tasted, the consistencies (soft, creamy, crunchy) were also excellent. The wine was also perfectly matched to each dish, offering either a balancing contrast or a complement. The portions were divided so that at the end we were full without being oversaturated. I also really liked the spatial layout and planning. We only got table neighbors when we were already at the end. So we had our privacy. I found the ambience to be very harmonious with dimmed lights and well-chosen furnishings (comfortable chairs, loving table decorations, harmonious color concept). The toilet was very clean and smelled pleasant, fresh and subtle. A bonus point is also the use of small towels that are placed in a laundry basket after use, which I find more appropriate here than, for example, paper towels. Thank you for this enjoyable and unforgettable evening!

Ein phantastisches Restaurant das seinen Michelin Stern vollkommen zu Recht trägt! Wir haben das 6Gang Überraschungsmenü mit Weinbegleitung gewählt. Ich mache es kurz: Essen: Herrausragend! Weinbegleitung: Perfekt abgestimmt und regional! Service: Souverän, angenehm, zuvorkommend! Ein wundervoller Genussabend!

Great experience. Excellent in taste and appearance!

From the very friendly and attentive service to the quality, presentation and taste of the food to the excellent selection of local Saxon and Thuringian wines - everything is just right here. The space in an old basement is inviting and elegant without being pretentious. My wife and I really enjoyed the 8-course surprise menu and would like to come back.

Vom sehr freundlichen und aufmerksamen Service über die Qualität, Präsentation und den Geschmack der Speisen bis hin zur exzellenten Auswahl an heimischen sächsischen und thüringischen Weinen - hier stimmt einfach alles. Die Räumlichkeiten in einem alten Keller sind einladend und elegant, ohne prätentiös zu wirken. Meine Frau und ich haben das 8 Gang Überraschungsmenü sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder.

Fine dining experience in Dresden. The food was excellent, and the service was excellent. All the courses were super nicely prepared. We had the 6-course menu, which was 10 in the end because of a few greatings from the kitchen. The Michelin star is well deserved. The food is fancy but still tasty. Seasonal and local food used.

Fantástica comida, Servidores donde sofisticado y profesional, pero todavía amable y divertido, el lugar era genial, pulido estilo de bodega subterránea. La comida era muy sabrosa, bien ejecutado y creativo. Opción de prix fixe o ala carte Para la fijación del premio, son súper flexibles. Son selecciones del menú a la carta. Les dices lo que no te gusta en él, y luego eligen entre el resto. 4 a 8 platos. Cada invitado puede tener un número diferente de cursos y diferentes “disgustos” a evitar. La flexibilidad es increíble, me gustaría que todos los restaurantes prix fixe fueran así de flexibles. El maridaje fue bueno, centrándose en el vino local. Tenía un precio justo y presentaba vertidos generosos. No puedo decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre este lugar. Espero que tengan mucho éxito, que creo que están considerando lo lleno que estaba un miércoles por la noche.

It's already a good idea to serve an open tin can of sardines for EUR 3.49 in your purchase for EUR 15.50. The guest is taken for a fool. The rest didn't taste nearly as good to us as it did a year ago.

I was actually really looking forward to staying at this restaurant. Since we are unfortunately only in Dresden for one day and still wanted to enjoy a nice dinner, I simply tried my luck by phone. When I called and simply asked for a table for two people today at 6 p.m. I was laughed at. The nice lady on the phone then said what I imagine would be possible to get a table in this house on the same day. Unfortunately, I couldn't control myself and had to say that the negative reviews were true after all. Disappointed and confused, I hung up. I was called again by the same lady. She then spoke to me on my voicemail, which unfortunately I can't attach here: I should briefly think about how to show respect to other people. Because in these establishments like yours it is actually common for the weekend to be fully booked up to a week in advance. But I can't know that if I don't know anything about this industry. She wishes me a wonderful weekend and hopes that I can ever eat in a wonderful establishment like yours. I don't want to sound arrogant here, but I often go to such "establishments" and really enjoy the food and the service. It's a shame that what was probably such a good meal was ruined by such poor service. I hope something like this only happened to me and that the other guests are treated a lot better!! Addition: as you can see from the answer, things are being put into the customers' mouths that never happened that way or are the customers to blame for every bad review... that has a lot to say for me!

Endlich mal wieder ins Genussatelier - und wie immer war es grandios! Wir haben das Überraschungsmenü genommen und es wurde auch auf alle Wünsche eingegangen. Das Essen war wirklich einsame spitze! Dazu hatten wir uns dann noch für die begleitende Weinreise entschieden. Da lässt man sich schon auf ein Wagnis ein, aber das wollten wir auch. Bei meiner Begleitung haben die Weine auch zu 100% für sie funktioniert. Bei mir war der letzte Wein einfach absolut nicht mein Geschmack. Dies teilte ich dem Sommelier auch mit - und ich muss sagen, dass mich die Reaktion extrem überrascht hat. Er sagte darauf, dass Geschmäcker verschieden sind (was ja zum Glück auch so ist) und nahm dann zwischendrin kommentarlos das volle Glas mit. Ich war schon sehr perplex, dachte aber, dass er vielleicht eine Alternative bringt. Dem war aber nicht so, sondern es stellte sich raus, dass es einfach abgeräumt wurde und es damit auch "gut war". Meine Begleitung hätte den Wein sehr gerne getrunken und ich hatte gedacht, dass es entweder eine Kostenreduktion geben würde oder einen anderen Wein. Aber nichts von dem. Ich vermute, dass an dem Tag der Sommelier vielleicht einfach nur einen schlechten Tag hatte, weil alles andere einfach super gepasst hat. Aber so etwas hinterlässt trotzdem einen kleinen Kratzer in der sonst perfekten Präsentation. Trotzdem werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder kommen :)

We visited Dresden mid September and finished our day there with an early dinner at Genuss-Atelier. The location was wonderful near the river and park. The atmosphere inside was warm and cosy. Of course the food was delightful with the exceptional wine pairings. The service team was very attentive and helped us to get a taxi to the bahnhof and then back to Berlin. Highlight of Dresden!

Very good restaurant, great service, great food, cozy atmosphere.

Extraordinary! Sure, it's also a star restaurant, you could argue. But apart from the excellent food, there is also excellent service. You feel as welcome as you are, which is especially nice for us because we always have the dog with us and I don't wear a suit. The staff is not only perfect but also warm. We'd love to come back.

No wish remains unfulfilled! Never eaten so well! Service is just as excellent as the wine served with it!

This was one of the best meals I’ve had this year and coming from NYC where we have a ton of great restaurants that says a lot. The inventiveness and presentation of each course was brilliant, the service was excellent and the space itself is oddly charming. The four course set price menu is a steal, and go for the ‘secret selection’ - there is no way you could be disappointed. Would go back to Dresden simply to eat here again.

Wirklich einfach nur Perfekt. Das Personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Ambiente hat Charm und lädt ein zum genießen. Das Essen ist wirklich Weltklasse! Ein Spiel aus Aromen und Texturen. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen.

We were here for the first time and were really excited. The service is first class. The surprise menu was a taste explosion. The wine pairing was very well coordinated. Before each course, the wine was introduced to us and the respective food was also explained in detail. The decoration of the hallways was very nice. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

The terrace offered a wonderful and cozy place to linger. The 8-course surprise menu impressed with delicious, well-thought-out dishes. For the wine accompaniment we chose the 5 wine tour, where all the wines came from the region and harmonized perfectly with the individual courses. The service was extremely attentive and extremely friendly.

Im netten Aussenbereich Platz erhalten. Nach dem Gruss aus der Küche bestellten wir: Entenleber- Patee als Vorspeise. Nachher 1xJakobsmuschel und 1xGemüse-Patee. Speisen sehr schön angerichtet und wunderbar. Service Top. Wir genossen den schönen Abend.

A sensational restaurant, located on the beautiful Elbe. You are offered sophistication and creativity like I have rarely experienced. For star cuisine, the price is even in the lower segment. Should I be in Dresden again, I will definitely make a second visit.

The Genuss Atelier is a true culinary jewel! I had the pleasure of enjoying the 8 course meal and I absolutely love it. Each course was a masterpiece in itself – perfectly balanced flavors, creatively presented and prepared with great attention to detail. You can literally feel the passion that goes into every dish. The service was also first class: attentive, friendly and professional. The ambience in the restaurant rounds off the experience wonderfully – stylish and cozy at the same time. For anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience, I can only warmly recommend Genuss Atelier. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Huge disappointment! After such good reviews and good rating we were badly suprised to discover very untasty food… starting with compliments from house. Would never expect that from a Michelin star restaurant! All dishes were oversalted, seems like that they try to raise the taste of gastronomic food. Did the cooks try their dishes themselves? We took the 5 course surprise menu with wine pairing. We didn’t like a single dish. The worst was the green pea cold soup. To our further surprise all the wines were not good - not interesting, with the same acid taste. The personnel preferred just to ignore the fact that we don’t finish the food and just fakely asked if we enjoyed. The bill was quite impressive. Never again!!!

We ate star cuisine for the first time yesterday and were totally fascinated. From reception to service to food. It was a perfect evening for us. We particularly liked the option of eating from the menu or a la cart. In the menu you can specify what you don't like to eat and these wishes are taken into account. This means you are not “forced” not to eat a course. From the greeting from the kitchen, to the starters, main course and dessert, it was perfect. We were offered a culinary journey through the world of food culture. Special attention was paid to regional products, which we particularly liked. We ultimately ordered 2x 4-course menu, 1x wine accompaniment, 1x still water (0.75 l) and 2 extra drinks. We paid €220 with a tip. Absolutely great price for the food. The selected wines went very well with the courses. Thanks to sommelier Patrick and the rest of the team. We would be happy to come back and recommend you.

We were guests at the Genussatelier for the first time on August 22nd, 2024 and decided on the surprise menu. The menu delivered what it promised and at the highest culinary level. There is also first-class service and the space is also surprising, even if the restaurant looks rather inconspicuous from the outside. A clear recommendation with a big thank you to the entire team. We had a wonderful, enjoyable evening.

Yesterday we went to the Genuss-Atelier again for a long time and had a wonderful evening with the finest food and the best wine. You can tell with every plate how passionate the cooking is here. The BBQ beef completely blew us away! Otherwise, all the dishes in the surprise menu, including the greetings from the kitchen, were perfectly coordinated. Our taste buds are still celebrating and we will definitely be back soon. Thanks to Marcus, Nicole and the entire team!

A magical evening with great food, very lovely hosts and surprising wines

Genuss bei besten Speisen und passenden Getränken. Personal: freundlichst, humorvoll, kompetent was kann man mehr über einen gelungenen Abend sagen. Meine Hochachtung.

Wonderful restaurant in a great atmosphere! A warm welcome that makes you immediately feel at home. Great atmosphere, professional service and very tasty food. We chose the surprise menu and really enjoyed it. When ordering, certain foods can be excluded, so nothing is put on your plate that you don't like. The individual courses were well coordinated and of course very beautifully presented. All in all, a really great dining experience that we will definitely repeat!

Dear Genuss-Atelier team, We were your guests on May 11th, 2023 and July 2nd, 2024 and now it's finally time for a review. As before, communication with the restaurant is professional and extremely friendly. When you arrive at the restaurant you immediately feel at home. It impresses with its cozy brick vault. The service in the restaurant is friendly and professional and is carried out with great warmth. We can say a lot about food then and now. The price-performance ratio in the restaurant is simply incredibly good. The dishes are all very tasty and the portion sizes are more than sufficient, sometimes even a bit too large for the number of courses. The presentation of the dishes is really very decided and great to look at. The only point of criticism then and now is perhaps that it lacks the “wow” factor. We can't criticize any course, but we can't massively highlight any of them either. In conclusion we would like to say: In the Genuss-Atelier you will find a restaurant with a Michelin star that offers great dishes at an incredibly good price and impresses with warm service. We would like to thank the restaurant team very much and look forward to another visit. Best regards Jana and Marcel ♡

We had a very nice evening with great service and an excellent surprise menu. From us to the kitchen: perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented and leaving you wanting more. The quality of each product can undoubtedly be felt on the plates and in the glasses. Even small requests are implemented very well. Samira was an impressive waitress and to some extent an entertainer with great stories to go with great wines. We look forward to a reunion. Greetings from the other restaurants ;)

Es war ein perfekter Abend für meinen Partner und mich. Ausgezeichnete Küche, ein wahres Spiel mit Aromen und Texturen. Gern wieder.

This was an excellent experience, possibly one of our best Michelin dinners. Run by brother and sister team, Marcus Blonkowski creates magic in the kitchen while sister, Nicole, delivers friendly and relaxed front of house service. The food and wines are local. Do try the surprise menu and wine pairing. I did not know that the area around Dresden has such good wines. Good value for such fine dinning.

Ein besonderes Restaurant mit der Liebe zum Detail. Das Beispiel des Bildes zieht sich wie ein Faden durchs Menü. Geschmacksexplosionen am Gaumen und wechselnde Gerichte/Menues runden das Angebot ab. Korrespondierende Weine aber auch hausgemachte Limonaden begleiten das Essen. Empfehlung ☺️

Wonderful restaurant which rightly has a Michelin star. Wonderful creations that play with the palate and leave changing tastes in the mouth. Our recommendation - not just for special occasions. The terrace but also the cellar vault - very, very beautiful 😌

Tolles Erlebnis mit sehr gutem Essen in angenehmer Atmosphäre. Es gab wirklich nichts zu beanstanden. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Sehr, sehr gutes Restaurant, mit an die Saison angepassten Speisen. Bei diesen außergewöhnlichen hervorragend zubereiteten Speisen kann man einen Besuch nur empfehlen! Immer einen Besuch wert.

During each trip, we try to visit Michelin-starred restaurants, and the restaurant run by Marcus and Nicole will have a special place on this map. Due to the excellent cuisine, balanced flavors, way of serving and presenting the dishes. We must also appreciate the great service and the selection of excellent local wines is a big plus. Discreet interiors decorated with class complement the whole. Elegant and unpretentious. We had a magical evening. It's worth trying. A star fully deserved.

On June 14th I was in the Genuss-Atelier for the first time. Complete menu with wine pairing. I really liked the ambience, the service attentive and as good as you can expect. Unfortunately it wasn't quite enough for a perfect evening. I found three of the eight courses - including the last two - excellent. However, I found two courses to be definitely too salty. Overall, a nice first visit!

A very harmonious feast for the eyes and palate. We decided on a surprise menu. We found it pleasant that the menu took into account the different preferences of the table parties. A nice evening.

We were in Dresden for the first time and in the Genuss-Atelier for the first time - and we were really very satisfied! Service EXCEPTIONALLY polite, courteous, the sommelier worked really hard! A great evening to start our vacation!!!! 5 course surprise menu with wine accompaniment was excellent!!!

We had a really great evening. The 8 course menu and the wine were excellent! The service and operation was also impeccable. Was very fun. A small point on the side: the coffee/cappuccino should also be of barista quality.

We had a wonderful six course menu with a lovely local wine pairing. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received at your restaurant on 8.6.24. As a Michelin star establishment, I had high expectations for both the food and the service. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to these standards. During my visit, I initially selected a dish from the menu but later decided to change my choice. When I communicated this to our waiter, their reaction was less than professional. The waiter made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome for altering my menu selection, which significantly detracted from my dining experience. Instead of accommodating my request graciously, their demeanor suggested that my change was an inconvenience. Other guests at the restaurant also chuckled at the hostess' comments to the kitchen. Given the high cost associated with dining at your restaurant, it feels particularly bitter to have had such a negative experience. I chose your establishment to celebrate a special occasion and was looking forward to a memorable evening. Regrettably, the attitude of the waiter overshadowed what should have been a delightful experience. I believe that such behavior is not in line with the high standards your restaurant aims to uphold. I hope that you will address this issue with your staff to ensure that future guests receive the level of service expected from a Michelin star restaurant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Response to owners comment below: Dear Nicole, Thank you for your detailed response and for acknowledging the concerns I raised about my visit on June 8, 2024. I appreciate your apology and the insight into the situation from your perspective. I understand that last-minute changes can be challenging, especially in a Michelin-starred establishment where precision and planning are paramount. I apologize for any inconvenience our menu changes may have caused. However, I would like to clarify that my intention was not to focus solely on the change in our menu choice but rather on the overall experience, particularly the way it was handled. As a customer, it is important to feel welcomed and accommodated, especially in a high-end restaurant where service is a key component of the dining experience. The discomfort I felt from the reaction, as well as the comments made in the restaurant, significantly impacted our evening. Additionally, other restaurant guests overheard you yelling in the kitchen, which led to some guests laughing. This further added to the uncomfortable atmosphere. I would also like to mention that we were very polite throughout the evening and specifically asked if the change could be applied only if possible, to which you responded that it was no problem at all. Additionally, the extra whisky that was tasted was paid for, contrary to any impression that we took advantage of your hospitality. On a positive note, I want to acknowledge that the rest of the staff was extremely nice and professional, which added some positive aspects to our overall experience. Thank you again for addressing my concerns. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining high standards and hope that this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests. Best regards, Jennifer

Overall, a successful concept. The food was harmoniously tasted. Special health considerations were taken into account in detail. Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful evening that we were able to spend with you. The food and service are of a very high class and I would be thrilled to visit Genuss-Atelier again one day!

Located in Dresden, Genuss-Atelier offers an exceptional dining experience that combines modern culinary creativity with Saxon traditions. The ambiance is a blend of contemporary chic and rustic charm, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere perfect for any occasion. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who enhance the dining experience through their passion for food and wine. The menu, which changes seasonally, features fresh, high-quality local ingredients. The extensive wine list, featuring local and international options, is expertly paired with the dishes. Genuss-Atelier stands out for its innovative cuisine, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, making it a must-visit dining destination in Dresden. Highly recommended.

Really HIGHLY recommended! The name is program. We felt completely comfortable. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Or as we like to say: “Horizontal Symphony”!

Attracted by the many positive reviews and awards, we went to the Genuss-Atelier. The greeting was slightly chilly. The greeting from the kitchen made me want more. But it stayed that way. The first three courses were okay, but certainly not star-rated gastronomy. Restaurants in Dresden with fewer awards, a better ambience and a lower price offer a lot more in terms of cuisine. The main course was also a disaster in terms of craftsmanship. Maybe we were just unlucky, although that shouldn't be the case given the prices quoted.

The menu is very creative and, above all, with fine flavors and well prepared. The staff is competent and extremely friendly.

What can I say....... Perfection has a name... Enjoyment atelier!!! Thank you for the perfect evening, the perfect food and the great hospitality! Your team made our trip to Dresden unforgettable! Thank you very much for that!

Thank you for the great evening with you. From service to taste, everything was absolutely professional 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Everything was just perfectly coordinated! This wasn't our first time dining here and it won't be the last! One of the surprise menus is most recommended, with 4 to 8 courses to choose from. You can also book a wine tour with a suitable wine for each course. Before the food arrives you will be asked if there are any things you don't eat, which means you can be sure that the surprise menu is tailored to your taste. As on the last visit, every course and the greetings from the kitchen were enjoyable. Simply delicious for the eyes and tongue. We'd love to come back :)

Good food, good selection of wine. Pleasant staff.

Every course is a work of art and very good. It was really a great evening in a fantastic location. The regional wines complemented the wonderful food well.

A great evening in a very stylish restaurant. We decided on a surprise menu and were very enthusiastic about it. We were particularly impressed by the friendly and very accommodating service, and the composition of the respective course was explained again before each course presented. The wine list leaves nothing to be desired. We will definitely come back when we are in Dresden again.

A friend and I had the 8 course surprise menu and it was delicious! There were also extra touches from the kitchen, which also contributed positively to the experience. All in all a very nice evening!

A taste experience all around. Everything was consistent and perfect. From the service, to the ambience, to the food. A taste explosion. We'd love to come back.

Unusual food, taste explosions, surprises, beautiful atmosphere and super competent service. Full recommendation from me 🤗

We had the five-course surprise menu and it was an absolute delight, beautifully presented and simply perfect in composition and taste. Combined with perfect, friendly service and a stylish ambience, it was simply a wonderful evening and a culinary experience.

Great ambience, extremely friendly and attentive service and an ambitious sommilier, plus a good price-performance ratio. A successful evening with the surprise eight-course menu and wine accompaniment.

Thank you for the enjoyable evening. 7 courses, each exciting and imaginative in its own right. Exclusively regional wines. Good service. A successful evening.

A surprising menu, good wine recommendations, very nice service = absolutely great!

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly, competent service. As always, the food was very, very tasty and of the highest quality. Thanks and keep it up.

A very nice evening with very good food. The hosts are nice and accommodating. We can recommend the Genuss-Atelier without reservation.

A wonderful evening with fabulous food and very attentive service! Thank you!

Wir kommen jedes Jahr zu besonderen Anlässen ins Genuss Atelier und nehmen dann immer das 6- Gänge Überraschungsmenü mit Weinbegleitung. Der Empfang ist immer sehr herzlich und das Person sehr zuvorkommend. Das Menü/ die Gericht haben super harmoniert und haben hervorragend geschmeckt. Dieses Jahr haben wir unser Tochter 17 Jahre das erstmal mitgenommen, auch ihr hat es super gefallen. Es ist einfach immer wunderbar und ein gelungener Abend bei euch. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team

We've eaten at Genuss-Atelier several times, it's a great restaurant. We always take the 6-course menu with wine accompaniment and can only recommend it. Very courteous staff, simply a successful evening. Keep it up.

The name is program. From the reception to the selection of drinks to the recommendation of the food - everything was perfect and harmonious. And the food was absolutely amazing. In terms of taste, it's probably very difficult to beat and it's beautifully presented. This restaurant deserves its Michelin star. We also really liked the atmosphere. We thought the idea of ​​the cutlery drawers built into the table was original. A very successful evening. Any time.

Wir waren jetzt schon öfter im Genuss-Atelier essen, ob zu zweit, in Familie, mit Freunden - es macht seinem Namen immer alle Ehre, leckere Speisen, tolle Getränke und wir sind auch vom zuvorkommenden und lockeren Service restlos begeistert. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf den nächsten Genussabend bei euch

Congratulations and best regards Steffen Zweiniger

Wir gehen in die Semperoper. Wo vorher essen? Bib Gourmand geschaut, Genuss-Atelier gefunden. Volltreffer! Von Reservierung über Location und Bedienung bis zum Vier-Gänge mit Weinbegleitung ein komplett gelungener Abend. Und so noch nicht gesehen: das Besteck in eigener Schublade im Tisch.

Geschäftsbedingt bin ich des Öfteren zu Gast im Genuss-Atelier. Das Überraschungsmenü in der Variante mit 8-Gängen überzeugt mich jeden Besuch aufs Neue. Besonders die Upgrades, wie die Entenleber und die Austern sind sehr empfehlenswert. Meine Lieblingskomponente ist das Entenlebereis, insbesondere mit der Weinempfehlung „Die Vergessene“, einer Art Sherry. Des Weiteren schätze ich die saisonale und häufig wechselnde Speisekarte. Die Weinbegleitung welche man auch in einer kleineren Anzahl als die korrespondierenden Speisen dazu buchen kann, rundet die Gerichte optimal ab. Auf jeden Fall ist das Genuss-Atelier ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen und genießen.

An experience for the palate and eyes! Every single course was lovingly draped on the plate, the wine advice and accompaniment was fantastic, the service was very attentive and friendly - the Michelin star is really more than deserved! Only the music in the background was rather inappropriate for such a restaurant. But unfortunately mainstream seems to be the usual background noise almost everywhere these days. Very unusual, pretty tables with an extra drawer for cutlery (see photo). Absolutely recommended and actually relatively inexpensive! It was great and we'll definitely come back at some point!

Great restaurant! Very tasty food with clarity of components and wonderful taste.

A fantastic evening in the Genussatelier. Very creative cuisine, especially the pulpo and the turbot were really good. Service is relaxed and provides professional, competent advice. We had fun and enjoyed everything very much. Many thanks to the entire team!

Das Genuss-Atelier ist zweifellos mein absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant in Dresden. Jedes Mal, wenn ich in der Stadt bin, ist ein Besuch dort ein Muss. Der herzliche Service und die außergewöhnliche kulinarische Erfahrung machen es für mich immer wieder zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis, immer wieder zu einer neuen, fantastischen Genussreise. Schon beim Betreten des Restaurants spürt man die warme Atmosphäre und die Gastfreundschaft des Teams. Man wird freundlich begrüßt und fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Doch das eigentliche Highlight ist natürlich das Essen selbst. Jedes Gericht ist wie ein Kunstwerk auf dem Teller, sorgfältig und liebevoll zubereitet. Essbare Kunst – fast zu schade zum Essen! – die mit einer wahren Explosion von Aromen und Geschmacksrichtungen aufwartet. Nach jedem Gang denke ich, dass dieser das Highlight des Abends sein wird. Und dann kommt der nächste Gang, der mich eines besseren belehrt. Meine Empfehlung an alle: Überraschungsmenü 5 Gänge aufwärts und lasst euch die Raritätenkarte der regionalen Weine geben! Oder die Weinbegleitung zum Menü nehmen – auch wenn man es nicht denkt, wenn man den Wein solo probiert – zur Speise sind sie wirklich ALLE perfekt ausgewählt! Und ich möchte noch fix die Gelegenheit nutzen, dem gesamten Team herzlich zu der Verteidigung des Sterns im Guide Michelin zu gratulieren. Diese Auszeichnung ist mehr als verdient und spiegelt eure unermüdliche Hingabe und das Talent jedes Einzelnen im Genuss-Atelier wider. 1000 Dank, dass es euch gibt! Bleibt so toll wie ihr seid, ich freue mich schon jetzt auf meinen nächsten Besuch bei Euch!

Genuss von Anfang bis Ende. Schönes Restaurant, kompetente und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Alle gereichten Teller waren ein Genuss sowohl fürs Auge als auch den Gaumen. Wer in Dresden einen schönen Abend mir super Essen verbringen möchte ist hier im richtigen Restaurant.

The food lived up to my high expectations. The wine pairing was unusual (with a lot of Meissen prominence), but borderline brilliant. Danger of repetition!

In the end, only the overall result should be right... It does 1000% here. In a casual atmosphere you can experience modern, creative cuisine at a great price-performance ratio with warm and attentive service. Many thanks to the entire team for the lovely and enjoyable break from everyday life. You are great!

Fine dining is an all-encompassing experience that includes elegant and sophisticated service as well as the highest quality food. We unfortunately were pretty disappointed by the service overall as well as the ambience/ atmosphere of the restaurant (if you go there ask for a table more in the back of the restaurant as we were seated close to the entrance with the view to the wardrobe and toilet entrance so not really nice). Already when we arrived there was no warm welcoming, but a clueless bar tender who said “please wait and there is the wardrobe for your jackets” - this is not what you’d expect in a fine dining restaurant. We decided to choose a la carte - the food quality and taste was very good. However we did not receive any greetings or surprises from the kitchen compared to those guests who have chosen the set menu. When we asked the waitress she said that we have the bread for free. In addition the service was too sales orientated - especially the high price supplements like caviar and truffle was more than once promoted and almost forced to choose which felt very unpleasant. I hope they will train and up skill their service going forward to meet the standard of a fine dining restaurant. Nevertheless a big compliment to the chef and the kitchen as the food experience was still great.

Had lunch here, great place, delicious food, very fair price for what they offer, polite service, relaxed atmosphere, great place!!

It's been 2 months, but we have to get rid of it because it still annoys us: Great food, service also very good : After eating: The bill for €1000 came first without being asked, and we were by no means the last ones that evening. My wife also left a more than generous tip! Afterwards, big disappointment: We were NOT said goodbye, no greeting, no thank you, NOTHING! There was no one there anymore! By SERVICE I mean something different!

Everything is right here, be it the food, the service and the atmosphere. We are completely satisfied. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back.
