The 10 Best Restaurants In Friedrichstadt, Dresden
Friedrichstadt is a neighborhood located in central Dresden, Germany. Famed as the home of the expressionist art movement Die Brücke, it’s also known as an old factory district. World War Two brought intense bombing from British and American troops, annihilating the city’s landscape and bringing its inhabitants to its knees. Much restoration work was done in the attempt to recreate and rediscover the charm the city once had. The district now has a plethora of great places to eat. Here are our 10 favorite restaurants.
1. MongolianBar
Restaurant, Bar, Mongolian
For a total departure from classic German food, or in fact from any conventional restaurant, try MongolianBar for a take on Mongolian cuisine. Dishes on the menu include spicy salads and grilled cuts of meat and fish. There is even the option for those with more adventurous taste buds to try more alternative meats such as kangaroo or antelope. The restaurant is decorated with Asian art, which makes a nice touch and works well alongside the Mongolian theme. Make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment as the restaurant is particularly popular.
2. Kuppelrestaurant
Restaurant, German
This restaurant offers a unique dining experience where customers have the opportunity to dine in the iconic cigarette factory which was in operation in the early 20th century. The building is referred to as Tabakmoschee, or ‘tobacco mosque’ by locals for its spectacular domed roof that was clearly inspired by oriental architecture. The menu offers traditional German cuisine, which seems an apt choice while gazing over the horizon of the city. Make sure you visit in the summer months so you can dine al fresco and take advantage of the pleasant balcony and beer garden.
3. Zum Schiesshaus
Restaurant, German
If you’re searching for the typical German dining experience, this is the place to be. The food is classically German, complete with a buzzing atmosphere and locals enjoying traditional German beers, unctuous stews and generous portions of schnitzel. The theme of the restaurant is reflected in the décor and furniture, with taxidermy proudly displayed on the walls, as well as murals depicting German forest scenes. The restaurant is not an overwhelming attempt for tourist attention, but a genuine, hearty spot for some great German cooking.
5. Oma & Opa
Restaurant, German
6. Artemis
Restaurant, Greek
7. Finesse By Elvis Herbeck
Restaurant, Mediterranean
8. BrennNessel
Restaurant, German, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
It’s not often you come across a vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Germany, so if you’re tiring of meat-dominated dishes, this restaurant is definitely for you. The kitchen offers a variety of appetizing pastas, salads and homemade soups, and food is well-prepared with fresh, organic produce. Portions come in generous, healthy sizes and are filling. While this is not the easiest location to reach, it’s worth the walk a bit out of town for the delicious food and charming hospitality. There is an even the option to dine al fresco in the summer months in the lush garden.
9. Sushi & Wein
Restaurant, Sushi
10. Mama Africa
Restaurant, South African
