Restaurant Tilia in Bad Schandau

The steak was delicious, especially with all the trimmings. The plate also looked very nice. The chef is really good. It was fantastic. The entire staff was very friendly. Fantastic!

A restaurant that stands out from the typical Saxon cuisine you'd usually find in Bad Schandau. It also offers creative vegetarian options and a very good wine list. It's not exactly cheap, but I highly recommend it!

We even ate here twice on vacation because it was absolutely delicious. The best schnitzel I've ever eaten! And the service was friendly, too, which is unfortunately almost a rarity these days. Definitely recommend it!

I ate here tonight and had a tabbouleh bowl with grilled salmon. The tabbouleh was something different – ​​with bulgur and fruit, more sweet than salty, yet slightly tart, like a fresh dressing. Very refreshing! The salmon was perfectly cooked: crispy skin and wonderfully juicy inside. The service was extremely friendly and quick. Overall, a truly great experience – highly recommended!

A very pleasant atmosphere and super friendly and polite service. Vegans will find well-labeled, delicious dishes here (three courses available in various variations). Dogs are even allowed in the restaurant. It's not a cheap restaurant, but it's totally worth it for the taste and the overall experience.

A clear recommendation from us!

Great food, great service. We'd love to go again!

It was a very successful evening with very good food and attentive service.

A very nice restaurant with great service and unique dishes at fair prices! Definitely recommended.

Highly recommended! Delicious food, great service.

Vegan & Fun 😄🌱 Delightful! We were curious to see what melon gazpacho tastes like, and it was a dream! We'd love the recipe.😊 Big compliments to the kitchen for the delicious food and the service for the fun. 🌼

Food 10/10 Service 11/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Unfortunately, there aren't more stars to award, so I've attached a separate review. We had the herb schnitzel and the salmon trout, along with two Köstritzers (Kellerbier and Radler lime), and it was fantastic. Everything was perfectly balanced in terms of flavor, the trout and schnitzel were buttery soft and regional, and the side dishes were cooked to perfection and beautifully served. The portions were well-balanced and satisfied our hiker's hunger. The service was super attentive and entertaining, pouring us Radler from the bottle and refilling it, and asking if everything was OK. In short: nothing was missing! An absolute recommendation. Thank you so much!

We were just out for a nightcap. The service was super friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back 😉

The three of us went to the restaurant at 1:30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon after hiking. Our food arrived in no time, looked great, and tasted absolutely delicious. The service was also excellent.

Very chic shop. The menu is a bit small, but there should be something for everyone.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch on the terrace in beautiful sunshine under an umbrella overlooking the spa gardens. The staff was friendly and always there at the right time. We really liked the menu – a great selection, beautifully presented, and regional ingredients. The food was simply delicious. Even though we were traveling without children, we noticed how family-friendly it was. There are a few play equipment, a board game table, a potty and a high-chair on the toilet, etc. We can wholeheartedly recommend Tilla!

We ate here on the 1st night in Bad Schandau based on the preview reviews that they served his vegan options. We were really impressed - lots of vegetarian and vegan options, and all specifically marked. The food was VERY fresh and tasty - the best we've had in the region. The service of the staff was exemplary too. We ended up eating all our evening meals there. We also had breakfasts there as we were staying in the adjoining Lindenhof Hotel with breakfast included and there was a similarly good range of well marked vegan options.

Very friendly, attentive staff; our dishes were beautifully presented and tasted excellent. We really liked that there was no kitchen break and we were able to get something to eat after our hike. Lovely outdoor area with some room for improvement.

EXCELLENT! The food is truly delicious, with a selection ranging from more modern dishes to classic home-style cooking. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes that aren't completely boring. The portions are very generous. The outdoor seating is very comfortable in a large garden. The staff is attentive and extremely friendly, which made us feel very comfortable. We would come back anytime!

Simply fantastic! The manager is also incredibly friendly and even works in the service department. The rest of the service is also very friendly and super efficient! We couldn't stop raving about the food (herb schnitzel and dumplings with chanterelle mushrooms), and the wine (rosé and muscatel) also made us absolutely happy. You can only give 5 stars—silly, really—we'll give it 6! Or a 1 with a star. (1*) The top-notch people in the kitchen, service, and manager justify the 3.50 Deutschmarks that it costs more.

A very nice restaurant! The food was delicious, and there were many vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from. The service was incredibly friendly, everything was very quick, and the outdoor seating area was lovely. Highly recommended

Highly recommended; there's also a children's menu. Reservations recommended in summer.

The ice cream sundaes are fantastic. Delicious flavors and beautifully selected. The vegan selection is fantastic. (Toffee ice cream!) The server is friendly, and our dog was offered water without asking. We'll definitely be back.

Despite being in Germany, we were able to eat at 3 p.m., and surprisingly, the food was excellent. The sea bass and trout millefeuille were simply spectacular. Highly recommended. A pleasant surprise!

Cold and unfriendly approach from staff. Dismissive and haughty attitude.

Super delicious food, great, attentive, and friendly service. Beautiful ambiance, and guests' special requests are happily accommodated. The rooms are large and very clean. Thanks to the entire team.

Very good food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere...

Very nice restaurant. A very varied menu, friendly service, and, above all, very, very good food! Thank you!

Great service, really good food, lovingly prepared.

Super friendly service, incredibly delicious food. From vegan to schnitzel, there's something for everyone. We'd happily go back anytime!

Very friendly staff, a good location off the main road, and the food was, of course, excellent. Well-seasoned, hot, and served quickly. We'd be happy to go again 🙂

Very nice service, dogs welcome, food very good.

Had a wonderful meal under the linden trees. The rib-eye is highly recommended. Friendly service!

Luckily, we were able to get in without a reservation. The food was delicious! The service was friendly.

The food was amazing!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, the gluten-free selection is a bit limited, otherwise it would have been a full 5 or even 6 stars.

We had the currywurst with potato wedges. It tasted delicious. 😋

What a fantastic experience! I was on a short vacation in Saxon Switzerland and had dinner at this restaurant two days in a row. I was lucky and got a seat without a reservation. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and above all, fast. The menu was brought, my order was taken, and the food and drinks were served at a pace that one doesn't normally expect in restaurants. Before I knew it, a plate of steaming, delicious pasta was in front of me. The explicit vegan and vegetarian labels throughout the menu and the generally vegan-friendly offerings are also great. Other restaurants could learn a thing or two from this. Keep up the good work!

Such a beautiful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere

Not everyone can go vegan. We were there on Sunday. The meat dish (sauerbraten with red cabbage and fried dumplings) was okay. There were only three vegan dishes, so we chose the classic again: warm pasta on a salad and vegetable mix. It wasn't great; the sauce/dressing poured over everything was so acidic that I couldn't handle it after half the meal, and I had to eat bread to cover it. The pasta wasn't cooked properly either. But what was really disappointing was that the kitchen didn't get the dressing right. Especially when you add pickled vegetables like olives, capers, and sun-dried tomatoes, etc., to the salad mix. So far, this was the worst "vegan classic" I've had in a restaurant. In such a rather expensive restaurant, this shouldn't really happen. The service was nice and took note of my complaint about the pasta salad, but unfortunately, the kitchen didn't respond at all. At least we weren't charged for the bread. Too bad, customer satisfaction isn't what it's all about. We'll be vacationing in the area again next year, but we won't be eating at Tilia again. Especially since we've had better vegan meals at other nearby restaurants.

Great food, for me the best restaurant in town! We'd love to come back.

Very nice, good portions, kind and fast service, nice atmosphere.

Incredible food, had the trout twice, it was so good. Many other dishes were amazing as well, my whole family including my 7 year old son enjoyed every bite. Thank you! Also the service was impeccable.

Dieses Restaurant ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen! Von der Vorspeise bis zum Nachtisch war einfach alles exzellent. Das Ambiente ist kunstvoll und gediegen, aber trotzdem gemütlich. Die Bedienung ist freundlich, zuvorkommend und professionell.

We went there for dinner today, and it was absolutely fantastic. The homemade lemonade was also amazing, and the staff was very friendly. We'll be happy to come back.

Super nice waitress with humor and heart

Overall, the food was very tasty, always stylishly presented. The mango ice cream was unfortunately a bit overpowered with candied orange peel. The lemon risotto with shrimp was a lot of risotto. A varied side dish would have been beneficial. The staff was very friendly and accommodating; they definitely deserve the 5 stars.

I recommend this restaurant because the service was very good and the food was delicious. My grandson was even offered group games, and he said it was the first restaurant where he was offered a group game without asking, so I'm giving it 5 stars. - My grandson (11) was so impressed that he had to write the review himself -

Sitting outside here feels like sitting in a small garden with beautiful flowers. The food is delicious, and you don't have to wait long. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food with generous portions and not so reasonable prices.

We ate here last week. We had two vegetarian dishes, both of which were delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. We found the interior to be beautiful and cozy.

We were here with 6 adults and 4 children. We felt very welcome. Children's menus and highchairs were available. Service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious. Overall, it was a great experience.

It's very good; 5 stars aren't enough for this excellent restaurant. We had the starter, main course, and dessert. Highly recommended. Thank you for this excellent food.

Very delicious food, in our case, Dresdener Sauerbraten. The staff was also accommodating and very friendly. One employee even played with our 1-year-old child while we ate. It's nice to tip. Thanks to the staff!

We specifically searched for vegan restaurants in Saxon Switzerland and found Tilia. We were served by the restaurant's management, and it was an absolutely wonderful evening. They offer several vegan dishes (so, you can even choose from!). We had the truffle pasta and the dumplings and thoroughly enjoyed both. Including wine, water, and an appetizer, the price came to around €85. Absolutely fair considering the wonderful atmosphere in the garden terrace. Highly recommended for vegetarians/vegans!

Fantastic food, charming service, definitely not the last time on this holiday!

This was one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a long time. Both inside and outside are very cozy and beautiful. The service was very friendly but not intrusive. All in all, I had a very nice time here.

Three of us went there for lunch today and were not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. Everything was perfect, delicious, and beautifully presented. The prices are reasonable. I particularly recommend the gin salmon and the best salad with leafy greens and fruit. My husband was absolutely thrilled, and the portions were very generous. Highly recommended!

Nachdem wir im Juli vergangenen Jahres eine Familienfeier im Hotel durchführen konnten, waren wir damals wie heute besonders von der tollen Qualität und Raffinesse der Küche begeistert.

Super delicious food, incredibly friendly staff, and very dog-friendly. There's also a good selection for vegans!

We came three times during our time at Bad Schandau. It was the best restaurant in the area by far, with creative and thoughtful presentation. Fantastic veggie options for my partner. I personally loved the pistachio crusted fish the best!

Thank you for the very friendly service and the excellent food. There are so many vegan dishes to choose from, which is sensational.

The food was good; the menu offers a small but authentic selection of regional cuisine. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the wine selection. The first two white wines on the menu were sold out, so we tried the Saxon wines instead. We weren't happy with them; they're just too specific grape varieties, or was it a lack of quality? Therefore, only three stars, also because the price-performance ratio is simply not right. The ambiance was fine, and the service was attentive and friendly.

We ate at Tilia at the beginning and end of our vacation, and both times it was a delight! Regional produce prepared with love and creativity. The service by Petré on May 17th was simply outstanding – it makes dining out truly fun and an experience. We highly recommend it!

A lovely restaurant with a wide selection of vegan dishes. We were so pleased that we ordered several. Everything was incredibly creative, healthy, and delicious. We even ordered the dessert (strawberry crumble with passion fruit sorbet) twice! Thank you very much, we had a wonderful time.

Cannot speak to the food as I was never able to order any. Was assigned a table then waited and waited. 15 m later still no one asked about drinks or food. Decided to leave as I was very hungry. Went to Franz. Within 5 m had My order taken and my drink on the table. Perhaps just unlucky that day.

Very good dish using asparagus season - lemon risotto with salmon and fish with vegetables

On our hike through the charming Bad Schandau, the path led us to the hospitable Tilia House, where we stopped for a break. We were welcomed friendly and with careful consideration and the food, made from fine ingredients and prepared with master hands, tasted delicious. The owner, Ms. Steffie Ballschuh, does her work with obvious passion that could be felt in every second. We owe her a special thank you for the spontaneous invitation to the hallowed place of culinary art – the kitchen. Our son, with shining eyes at the secrets of the craft presented, has been dreaming of the path of the cook ever since, and it may well happen that the seeds of a great vocation were planted here. A place that not only nourishes the body, but also the soul.

Simply a great restaurant with a great ambience, outstanding food and great service. Thanks for the great evening.

As a group we got a nice table in the back area here on Saturday evening. The selection of food (vegan, vegetarian, fish/meat) was stunning - nothing “off the shelf” and a very extensive and creative (in the most positive sense) menu. The friendly staff fulfilled all of our wishes without waiting and contributed to an all-round successful evening. We'll definitely be back! Many thanks to the whole Tilia team :-)

Really good service with an eye on the personal needs of the guests. Great atmosphere with perfect entertainment, highly recommended!!!

Great food, first class service!

We took Easter Sunday as an opportunity and had booked lunch beforehand. When the weather was great, we were offered a table in the garden at short notice, even though we had ordered inside. The service was extremely friendly and eager to make sure we were satisfied. The food was really great and the price/performance ratio was definitely right. The plates were prepared very well and the portion size was also good. Your drinks menu is really big and you have to praise the lemonades and cocktails. The dogs are also welcomed and given water. The adjacent park is a nice change to unwind, especially in summer.

Beautiful garden and a great varied selection of food. I had the linguine with summer truffles and that was really excellent. Truffle not too dominant or sparing, creamy, interesting topping of miso and hazelnuts. For the message a fine rhubarb crumble. Service didn't notice at first and unfortunately there was no oat milk. Declarations in the map help a lot!

Delicious food, but the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. It seems like the restaurant wants to seem more upscale than it is. In addition, the waitress treated us politely but condescendingly from the moment we declined the wine list. The food was excellent and the prices were typical for the area, hence the 4 stars. I would still consider coming back. So you don't really feel comfortable eating.

The food was very tasty and high quality. The finest couscous salad, risotto and corn-fed chicken! Kudos to the kitchen! Price/performance is right! The service was professional. What we also noticed was a lot of vegetarian/vegan dishes on the menu. And a changing table for our little appendix in the toilet.

We had a delicious dinner here on March 7, 2025. That was great. But unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable because it was too quiet. There was no background music playing; But the comfort was somehow missing. Too bad.

Super delicious, I had fig dumplings with butter and sage sauce, that was tasty 👌 in general there are good vegetarian and vegan dishes

During our winter break we were several times in Talia restaurant, and every time it was wonderful! Products mainly from nicely selected suppliers, solid wine collection and friendly and helpful waiters:) the food was great: we tried (and liked very much!) the duck breast and dessert. The prices are also quite reasonable.

The service is very nice, the food is prepared with love and is visually very appealing. There are many dishes for vegetarians - highly recommended.

Was visiting with friends today. Service was great. Food was incredibly good. Very good value for money. 100% recommendation

We had two great evenings. Attentive service, great food, cozy atmosphere.

Had a spontaneous meal here. Very nice staff, delicious food. Not exactly cheap but fair 👍 can recommend the Sepp Spezial cocktail 😉 There was lemon chili salmon with a starter soup

They are non lovely. End up in the Toskana on lovely stake. May be was my big bagpak what is not propriet than you polite lie to me that restaurant is closed, even there where new gests and lots of empty tables.

Were in transit and made a reservation by phone. Everything went well. But it would have been nice if the entrance door had been better marked. A waiter who had a bad cold made our table ready. Maybe sick employees should just stay at home. Food was very good. When paying by card, care was taken to leave a tip.

Went to the restaurant for lunch today. The fish and meat were cooked to perfection. Really very good 👍🏼 Would love to come back!

Simply great, great food, lovely wines, warm service. First choice in Bad Schandau - we'll be back.

I ate here twice during my stay. Very, very good cuisine!! The price-performance ratio is absolutely right here! Very friendly and fast service! Reservations are advisable. Very nice atmosphere. Update 12/24: Absolutely delicious dishes! The Christmas menu is simply great!!!

If it had more than 5 stars to give, I would give it! We loved the ambience. The outdoor area is romantically lit for Christmas and everything is clean. The table is also discreetly but beautifully decorated and set. We were given a starter variation of deer and duck to eat. The starter cutlery was re-set in upscale service. Since I come from the upscale catering industry myself, I noticed these things, occupational illness, I attach importance to them and was not disappointed. The service kept the full restaurant under control and we felt very well looked after. My special request for the main course was also implemented perfectly. We ate duck breast with ginger red cabbage and dumpling sticks. For just under 22 euros we expected an unspectacular meal. The expectation was more than exceeded. You could taste the love that the chef puts into this dish. In Leipzig you pay at least 30 euros for this meal, you can definitely charge more for this delicacy. We would take another 3 hours just for the meal to taste the experience again. A huge compliment to the attentive, lovely service and the stunning cuisine. We haven't eaten so well and felt so well looked after in a long time. Thank you!

This was my second time at Tilia as a tourist and I was completely thrilled again. I always look forward to meeting restaurants where you can simply taste the love for the products. So keep it up🤗👍🏼. The service was once again courteous, friendly and always available with advice and good recommendations. Thanks for that too 😊.

As we all know, the eye eats with us - beautifully and lovingly prepared food! 😍 Very fresh and regional ingredients. The portion is also more than enough. The service first class and attentive. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Extremely good food and wine. The restaurant itself is visually beautifully designed. But you shouldn't stop here straight after the hike 😉 The service was very good. Our online reservation did not arrive at the restaurant even though the system confirmed it. We still got a table and everything was great. Every now and then you got the impression that the staff was a bit stressed.

Great selection of creative cuisine also for vegans. You come from Berlin, perhaps the vegan capital of Europe, and find this excellent vegan culinary delight in, of all places, Bad Schandau in Saxony. Not just putting vegan on the menu - someone has really thought about it here. Compliments to the cuisine and service!

Food itself was okay. Price-performance leaves a lot to be desired. €7.50 for a chicken skewer with 5 small cubes is an outrage that is unparalleled in the region. The skewer was still dry.

Very great restaurant, great selection of food even for vegetarians. Had the lemon chili salmon which was excellent. Great wine selection. Good service. On the whole: great restaurant, highly recommended, gladly again!

Very good food, good wine and super friendly service! Thanks for the lovely evening!

Great atmosphere, delicious food and also a good hotel next door

It should be standard practice for a restaurant to have vegetarian dishes on the menu these days... but it isn't. The fact that this restaurant has mostly vegetarian/vegan dishes... also on the notice outside the door... is extraordinary. And what's more, it tasted excellent. 5 out of 5 points.

Super tasty venison with red cabbage, very nice, friendly (boss?) service, tried hard to make everything possible if you have allergies, rather too expensive but that's all the restaurants in the region. Ambience rather old-fashioned and uncomfortable. Food and service definitely top.

Very good restaurant, super delicious food. The service is very friendly, professional and attentive ☺️ High prices but with corresponding quality! I paid €48 for “cloudy cream cheese with mushrooms”, herb bread dumplings with mushroom cream, “chocolate & currants” and 2 beers. There is a beautiful garden, it's great to sit outside in summer!

I really recommend this place, you feel looked after and the food is excellent.
