Restaurant Kügelgenhaus in Dresden

Beautiful, well-kept ambiance, delicious regional cuisine, all homemade. The Sauerbraten is phenomenally good. Various Saxon wines are on the menu. The value for money is excellent. The service is very warm and personal. We highly recommend this restaurant! The 5 Swabians

Discovered this beautiful restaurant by chance during a city trip. The food was very good - you can taste that the components were made in-house (e.g. dumplings, red cabbage). Atmosphere is relaxed and service is attentive. Really recommended!

The small restaurant is highly recommended. Lovingly prepared food of good quality. We enjoyed it very much. Not like the big chains in the old town...

Although we were there on an evening when both the kitchen and service were severely understaffed, we were served lovingly and friendly. The food was extremely tasty. A successful evening.

The visit to this restaurant was excellent. The service was very friendly and we all really enjoyed the food. It was our second visit and we hope that the quality and the restaurant will stay with us for a long time. We would definitely like to come back!

My wife said to me today, "It tastes like home in Lusatia." That must mean something. We were very impressed and will be back. The staff were very accommodating, the chef was great, just to mention that, and my meal was very tasty, along with a good beer. Incidentally, the prices were very reasonable for Dresden. A half-liter of beer, from Bavaria at that, was under €4. Really good. An insider tip for us. Addendum: The stars remain the same. The food was great, and the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. It's just a shame that you can't tip the staff via the terminal. It's always possible elsewhere. You almost never carry fixed-term deposits with you.

Another highlight in Dresden for us. Hunger drew us to the new town. To the Kügelgenhaus in the Baroque Quarter. From the first contact with the waitress to the moment we left the restaurant, we were able to experience something special. Warm service, very good food, great and quiet atmosphere. A tip for lovers of good German cuisine. Bon appetit! We'll be back!

We had a great evening with excellent food. Thank you! All special requests (including gluten-free food) were fulfilled. The service was great, very friendly. It was even possible to take a short tour of the vaulted cellar. We'll be happy to come back next time we visit Dresden!

Gladly, very friendly service, delicious food x.

It was very quiet as there were no other guests. When we came in, we sounded rather surprised that guests were coming😅 The food was very tasty and the service was friendly👍🏻

I come to Dresden very often just to visit the Kügelgenhaus and take a little walk through Dresden's old town. The food is always a pleasure and is served to me by always friendly and very accommodating service. Whether in the small beer garden in summer or in the old rooms in winter, it is always very cozy. I always enjoy coming back and I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant

Very, very nice service on January 22nd, 2024. Unfortunately I couldn't give a tip (self-confessed plastic money payer) The owner urgently needs to make improvements here!!!

Always happy. Good food and friendly service.

Simply unique... tradition and culture wonderful

Since the boss took over “complete command” in the kitchen, 5 stars for the food are a MUST! There are also “slimmer meals” for seniors --> simply great. The service can't be faulted either! Friendly, accommodating, uncomplicated, simply pleasant to visit. Recommendation again and again and has been for a long time. Keep it up “Team Kügelgenhaus”!! 👍👍👍

Very nice service and very 😋 tasty cuisine.

Very good Kugelgenhaus bear and traditional dishes with meat.

Highly recommended, delicious food, in a chic atmosphere! My meal (sauerbraten) was only lukewarm when it was served, which I told the waiter shortly afterwards. He reacted brilliantly - "the mistake" was admitted, it was immediately heated up, new meat was served on it and to compensate for it there was a schnapps of your choice on the house. Optimal! It was very tasty, good portion size and prices are reasonable. We'd love to come back!

Very nice staff, the food tasted quite good.

Dear Ms. and Mr. Ruhs and dear Kügelgen team, We felt very comfortable with you, it was a wonderful evening with delicious food, great ambience, it was wonderful. Thank you very much for that.

I enjoy being a guest at the Kügelgenhaus restaurant. The food is freshly prepared and tastes excellent. The atmosphere is inviting. I always had the impression that everyone - kitchen and service - worked there with heart and valued the guest. Thank you very much!

Yesterday we had our company Christmas party in the restaurant and then went to an event in the Comédie Royale, which belongs to the restaurant. We rated the food differently. The trout and the venison goulash were very good. The bread dumplings served with the goulash were dry and hard. After complaining, we received a replacement, which was fine. The top blade steak did not live up to expectations. It was also not asked how it was desired (e.g. medium). Unfortunately it was absolutely fried. The problem was the service. As agreed, we went to the restaurant at 6:00 p.m. to eat in peace and go to the event at 8:00 p.m. The food had already been pre-ordered so the kitchen could prepare. Since we worked all day, we were hungry too. When we arrived at 7:30 p.m.!!! While we were still waiting for our food, we were told that we could do it and that the event wouldn't start without us. I replied that we actually wanted to enjoy the meal in peace and that this is no longer possible. We also have to make sure we get the last train. The innkeeper's answer: "Don't get on my chains." When the food came at 7:40 p.m., we discovered that two meals had been forgotten when we ordered. Certainly our fault, but if the food had been served on time, this wouldn't have been a problem. So my colleague had to wolf down the food. My colleague once again expressed criticism of this process. The owner then shouted, sorry, I have never experienced such behavior in the catering industry. We were all pissed off and in a complete 180° at one point. We were then greeted as the latecomers to the event, not as the people who had to wait 100 minutes for their food. The restaurant definitely ruined our Christmas party. A word of apology is missing. I will never enter this restaurant again.

I would like to agree with my colleague, the conclusion to our company Christmas party is negative. This is by no means due to the kitchen. Despite different reviews of the individual dishes, the overall picture is rather positive, the schnitzel, the venison goulash and the trout Müllerin style were particularly well received. The problem lay in the service and process. There were a total of 25 people at our celebration, 24 of whom were in the restaurant before 6 p.m. One person had problems despite leaving early knowing there was a lack of parking space due to the Christmas market and arrived around 6:30 p.m. Smaller gaps at the table were caused by a few colleagues going to the toilet and smoking. Another starter in addition to the three we had pre-ordered was ordered when everyone was there when the waitress asked if anyone else would like a warm starter. If they had slowly started handing out the salads for starters at this time, there would have been no time problems afterwards. I don't want to hide the fact that we forgot to order 2 main courses, the mistake is ours. We are all human and in the run-up to Christmas everyone's stress levels are very high. We would have noticed this mistake sooner if we had been able to start eating early as planned, which is why we ordered in advance at the restaurant and thus had more time before the cabaret. So after about 1.5 hours of waiting, we started with the starters, then came the main courses, where the previously mentioned error was discovered and stress finally broke out. As a result, our boss approached the owner to objectively criticize the process, only to be shouted at in front of half the staff that we had to behave. Up to this point I have not found any reason in our behavior that would have even remotely justified such an outburst. I would also ask you to explain what wrongdoing you claim to have committed towards your waitress, rather than writing down this claim without justification. Even if we will probably no longer meet as guests and restaurateurs, we can only learn and improve from objective criticism of the other side.

The restaurant is centrally located. We wanted to go out for a hearty meal again and ordered knuckle and sauerbraten. Food and service were great.

Great food, super friendly staff, large portions, reasonable price Definitely worth a visit, gladly again! 👍🏽

We had a nice start to our Dresden weekend here. We didn't have a table reserved, but we were lucky. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. Thank you for the good hospitality.

Everything was great, the atmosphere was great...

A very nice and cozy restaurant, with a historical atmosphere. The staff is very accommodating and fulfills the guest's every wish. Very tasty and good traditional cuisine, the dishes are always fresh and homemade. This restaurant is highly recommended and for us number one in Dresden. We always enjoy coming.

Very warm staff. Great, delicious food. Absolutely recommended.

Recommend to anyone planning an event with their company

We reserved a table at short notice on a Saturday evening, although there were many guests there, we were given the opportunity to have dinner. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The cuisine is more than good, everything is fresh and the taste is excellent. We can only say thank you and recommend this restaurant.

Was very pleasantly surprised. Great cozy atmosphere, the food was delicious, very nice service. I recommend it at any time 👍

Spontaneously, noticed during a short vacation. We were so satisfied that we went there again the following evening. We were very satisfied. Delicious food and very friendly service. 🙃

Another lovely evening in the Kuegelgenhaus on the main street in Dresden. First enjoyed good German cuisine in the restaurant and then had a good chat and a laugh in the basement at the Joseph Staidel Combo.

Very nice, historic restaurant with good German cuisine, fine wine and in-house beer.

Very good restaurant with very good German food. Waiting time was a little longer. But otherwise very good.

Everything was great and perfect, we were also very impressed by the friendly service. We would definitely be happy to come back again.👍👍👍👍👍

An unforgettable experience, very inviting restaurant with a great atmosphere, the food was simply delicious, the friendly service told us everything about the history of the house. Many thanks to everyone who works in the restaurant. Really highly recommended.

Highly recommended, the food is great and the service was super nice.

Very, very stylish ambience and a very pleasant atmosphere. We can only highly recommend this restaurant.

Very nice restaurant. Quaint and cozy. Very eager and friendly staff. The portions are decent and tasty. Price/performance fits👍🏻

Very pleasant atmosphere and very good food and nice staff

Very tasty food and anyone visiting Dresden should stop here. Saxon home cooking. 👍

Delicious beer, tasty food, decent portions. It seemed a little out of budget, but well worth the money

Very nice waitress. She also immediately provided water for our dog. The food was excellent and the price was within the normal range. In any case, it's worth a visit if you're on vacation nearby!!

The food is a delight! My girlfriend and I ate very well, it tasted fantastic and we were both full. Always my pleasure!

Looking for a cozy spot for dinner, we ended up at the Kügelgenhaus, what luck! The first thing worth mentioning is the extremely friendly and attentive service from everyone involved! Saxon cuisine was served to us at the highest level. We decided on beef goulash and sauerbraten with handmade dumplings and homemade red cabbage. The cook knew how to impress with her craftsmanship and attention to detail! You could taste that the preparation was fresh and that everything hadn't been simmering for hours. We experienced Saxon cuisine at the highest level and rounded off by friendly service and a conversation with the owner! Thank you for this lovely evening, Micaela from Hellerau and Stefan from Wuppertal 😊

Real home cooking, super delicious like grandma's. Service very friendly

Delicious schnitzel, excellent service and a beautiful location in the old city. We sat on a cool indoor terrace. Fortunately, not a difficult menu, but a simple 10 main courses.

We appreciate the good quality of the food and the friendly service, and have done so at the Kügelgenhaus for many years. Thank you for that.

Friendly host and great food! Gladly again

It's rare to find completely homemade food. I can only recommend this address and is my secret tip for good home cooking. You sit in a cozy ambience of the historic Kügelgenhaus. Great service and really great staff. Even the chefs passed the table with a smile. I like to come here for dinner.

Very friendly and courteous staff and the food is very, very tasty. It should be emphasized that everything is prepared from fresh ingredients. We had a very nice evening and would love to come back!

We sat beautifully in the “beer garden” on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The service was very friendly and always took care of our needs with a smile. The food was delicious and sufficient. The salmon with potato pancakes was excellent and the schnitzel with fries and mushrooms was absolutely delicious. When we are back in Dresden we will definitely come back! 😊

Nice ambience, great service, very good food

We spent the first evening of our short visit to Dresden in the Kügelgenhaus restaurant. The food was very good, my husband's onion allergy was taken into account. Ms. Lydia Döhner took care of our wishes attentively and very charmingly. Overall, a very nice start to our vacation. We recommend.

A pleasant restaurant with traditional cuisine

Great home-made food and very friendly service gave us an unforgettable evening.

Bad dry meal and not friendly service.

It was really nice to sit in the “beer garden”. Very nice service. Great food, see photo. Yes, I was a repeat offender when it came to trout and ate and enjoyed these magnificent specimens every 3 weeks. You're happy to pay €20. You can really recommend the food here because the price and performance are right.

Great food. Very friendly staff and always willing to listen to the guests. Freshly prepared, nothing pre-cooked, highly recommended.

Great restaurant, we ate very well and the staff is very friendly. It's really worth a visit. Ps: Thanks for the beer glasses, greetings from Switzerland

Great ambience and excellent and very tasty food! Real home cooking like your grandmother's.

We stopped by the Kügelgenhaus restaurant spontaneously and without a reservation and were given a very friendly welcome. The food was very tasty and freshly prepared and the in-house, tasty beer is highly recommended. The exciting and friendly conversations with the service staff and the manager of the house rounded off a wonderful evening. We would love to come back and can highly recommend the restaurant.

Food excellent. Service 1A friendly, nice, funny. We felt comfortable.

Nice and competent service, very good food and reasonable prices.

We were looking for a place to have lunch as part of a concert in Dresden this weekend. Unfortunately we were made to feel like we weren't wanted as fans of the band. The food was good and served quickly. One star deducted because the service was lacking in friendliness.

Toilet definitely needs to be renovated

Food was excellent. The curds tasted like grandma's. The service is particularly noteworthy. The service was friendly and answered all of our questions. The manager of the house told us the history of the house and explained the pictures in the guest room. We will be back definitely

Went to the restaurant spontaneously today and got a seat. Food was very tasty and freshly prepared. Worth mentioning are the delicious desserts and the friendly service. We would be happy to come back on our next visit to Dresden

There is nothing for me to complain about here! 😍 The dish was very tasty, mashed potatoes with pork liver, onions and salad. ☺️ I didn't even finish my portion. 😄 The waitress wore white gloves.😯😁 Very friendly, unobservant and enjoys her work. 🌻🌞 We spontaneously got a place for Sunday lunch (Mother's Day) without a reservation. Many tables were already served and beautifully prepared. 🥰🌷 There was even a hint that a larger group was coming and it might get a little louder in this corner. 🐦 For the little monks:🤭 Mine was very happy. 🥳🤩 There were coasters labeled with the name of the restaurant and no beer lettering. ❤️ The Rauch brand juice was also served in a Rauch brand glass. 😯😁

It's a shame that I can only give 5 stars. I was there with a friend on May 1st. I ordered the potato soup and the sauerbraten. Unbelievable good! Everything fresh and cooked with love. The service was also great! Friendly and competent. Very good advice. The price for the quality was also very good.

We had a good meal here. There is an extra star for the service. Even though she had to do everything alone, she was friendly and attentive.

Excellent service, very nice staff who made us forget about the waiting time because we had to wait about 40 minutes for our food (the restaurant was full and there was still a party in the separate room) but everything was freshly prepared and super tasty 😋 Thank you , we'd love to come back.

The food was very good, as was the service. Gladly again at any time.

Very nice restaurant. The operation takes a lot of getting used to, but it was quite good. The food was very good.

Nice atmosphere, good food and the staff is very friendly and accommodating despite the full house.

We found the restaurant by chance and were very pleasantly surprised. Very tasty and varied food, a great ambience and very attentive service. We would be happy to come back next time we visit Dresden.

Great service, everything is great, nice people are always happy

Highly recommended restaurant in Dresden's Neustadt in a historic building with a variety of good, home-style cuisine. Everything freshly prepared. When you enjoy the very good food, the slightly longer waiting time is quickly forgotten. In any case, you should take some time to enjoy here, because the desserts and drinks on offer are also worth it. Last but not least, the friendly service contributed to a pleasant culinary evening. My tip: the homemade quark balls with apricot compote. A dream ;-)!

Cool atmosphere, very friendly service and the food was really delicious! The portions are also quite generous, so you'll feel full. We were only in Dresden for a few days, but would come back immediately if we were in the area again :)

I can only agree with my wife. Everything perfect, food, wine and service. We will be back!!

We celebrated a birthday at this restaurant and were very happy with the food and service. The food is freshly prepared, which of course takes time But it needs to taste very good, many thanks to the kitchen, they know their craft. And the service is also very good and attentive. The atmosphere is also very nice, it's very comfortable to sit here. And even culture comes into play here because there is a small comedy theater. The game plan and dates are available as flyers on the tables. We have decided on a performance and are really looking forward to it. Before that, have dinner in the restaurant and then strain your laughing muscles. This restaurant is definitely recommended. Thank you dear team and keep it up

Easter 2024, we were there 2 evenings in a row and felt very comfortable. Exquisite Saxon food, good wines and perfect hosts! Highly recommended, we will definitely come back! Manuela & Heiko from Munich.

Service very friendly and accommodating, Delicious food, cozy atmosphere so definitely recommended. Kind regards from Bavaria

Extremely friendly staff. The food is very good.

An all-round successful evening. Really to feel good, like a private invitation. Last year, 2023, we were here for the first time. We were already looking forward to seeing you again. Our expectations were more than met. Thank you all!

Four of us were in Dresden and spent 3 great days, including two meals at the Kügelgen Haus and we can only recommend this restaurant. Great food, very nice service and a friendly boss 😋

We really liked the small restaurant, delicious food, nicely presented and a nice, entertaining waiter. I would be happy to visit the recommended theater in the basement again.

Super tasty, freshly cooked and the service really made an effort. Recommended… the whole menu :)

Perfect restaurant experience! Yesterday we visited the restaurant for the first time and were so impressed that we came back today! Everything was simply perfect: the food was incredibly tasty and freshly prepared – big compliments to the kitchen! The service was also excellent, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice and contributed to a pleasant stay. We can fully recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon. Thank you for a lovely evening and thumbs up for this great restaurant! Best regards Katy

The food was really excellent. We were there for lunch and ate the spiced meat and the marinated salmon. We recommend! The service was also very friendly. We'd love to come back!

Food: very large cinema - small, clear menu - everything fresh - great service - dog-friendly - 5 out of 5 - We were back in Dresden today a month later and didn't miss the opportunity to enjoy the cuisine again - unfortunately the liver was out - which is okay - I'd rather have none than an old one - but the goulash was also great. Schnitzel freshly pounded - again 5 out of 5

Wonderful quiet, cozy place. The owner's hospitality and attention to detail are worth special praise. A small range of dishes, however, with traditional, beautifully prepared Saxon cuisine. Even simple pea soup here is fragrant, tasty and perfectly seasoned. Bavarian beer on tap will delight lovers of foamy beer. We tried several different wines from Meissen, which is located very close to Dresden. We didn't refuse dessert. Everything is prepared on site, home-style. I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying the atmosphere and traditional cuisine.

Everything at the meal was homemade and really tasty :) the waiter was also very nice

Very, very tasty dinner in a nice atmosphere with expert service. The price is absolutely worth it, you can taste that the food is home-made and superbly prepared. Gladly again!

The food is super tasty, top class. The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very appealing and cozy. Simply a great atmosphere. Top address.

The ambience is really nice. At first glance, the service seemed friendly and professional. Unfortunately, this impression was not confirmed. He mocked a regular guest about our choice of food... a no go!!! The food was good average. The final whistle was missing. Prices are just about reasonable.

At first glance we didn't want to go into the restaurant, the entrance is on the side and we only noticed it through the display...lucky ;-) ... the service was very nice and attentive and the food was very... Tasted good, price/performance was completely fine. We will come back on our next visit to Dresden. The only drawback are the toilets, which are in the neighboring building and are not barrier-free.

I've eaten there a few times. The service was always very nice, the food was always very tasty, I can only recommend it to everyone. I will definitely come back
