"I discovered this place quite by accident--it was within walking distance of my hotel (An der Rennbahn, which I have reviewed elsewhere). It's a seafood restaurant, an excellent one, run by young Matthias Schwindt, who hails from Rügen in the North Sea. The menu is...extensive but also includes smaller plates if you don't feel like a big meal. I ordered perch-pike, which came with some delicious vegetables and small potato pancakes. The service was friendly and unobtrusive; it isn't a fancy place at all, just gemütlich friendly and comfortable. In good weather there is a garden with tables and umbrellas; otherwise you eat in a vault-like underground room that looks like a movie set for Pirates of the Caribbean Even if you stay in Dresden's town center, which many tourists do, you can easily reach this place on the or tram, which is in itself a fun experience."

"On our relatively spontaneous journey to Saxony and Thuringia, Dresden was of course also on the programme. In the Saxon capital I can regularly travel professionally, but for my loved one it was the first visit and of course also the magic of Elbflorenz worked with him. Only this beauty there in the crowd can be something overwhelming and particularly time-consuming. It fits perfectly into our daily planning that the enjoyment studio opens its doors for a gourmet lunch exclusively on Sunday. For a long time I wanted to enjoy the youngest star restaurant in the striking and pale taste of Dresden. on and out were relaxed, cost-effective and wine-friendly with the tram; the stop is only above the intersection. Of course, we didn't let it take us to admire the Waldschlösschen bridge, which is very close to the Dresden Elbtal, a UNESCO World Heritage site. I found the vaulted construction quite apart, but whether quite or ugly, traffic necessary or tax grave no longer to discuss. We turned them back, saw the river left in the most beautiful midday sun, in the distance the Canaletto Panorama and on the right side the impressive Imperial Age Villa, in whose souterrain the siblings Marcus and Nicole Blonkowski want to offer according to their own estimate “Creative cuisine from the finest!”. From the main entrance several steps lead to the restaurant. A door to the garden could display a flat entrance; Unfortunately, I forgot to see it. Arriving in the cellar vault, we immediately felt comfortable. The warm sandstone walls, brick ceilings, some daylight from obliquely above, supported by many lamps, and above all the breakthroughs between the rooms create cosiness without “lit” effect. This is also countered by the clear furnishings, the rich lilac of the cozy club chair and modern art. Our hostess functioned professionally and politely in the service, our wishes were received, even in the menu that was actually requested on a table, changes in number and composition were possible without problems. A supportive young man was already on the way to good service and at the end we met another gentleman who impressed us with friendly sovereignty. All my powers are included in the assessment. We chose both from the two lunch menus 5 courses for very cheap €64! and after this responsible decision “deserved”. Ruinart rosé is presented in a glass-like studio. This is not exactly the cheapest bottle fermentation from French countries, but 25€ per glass are already an announcement for a non-year in Germany. Factor 3 or more will generate costs as a contribution to coverage. Lunch break “Mischkalkulation”. In order to save the owners, it should also be pointed out that otherwise "payable" prices are mentioned in the special wine card. More. In advance, it is necessary to report a real annoyance of completeness and truthfulness, although I am probably resurrected. But we were served a sparkling wine that tasted like sleepy feet. Almost no more perlage. You could taste and even see at first glance. And we were the first guests on Saturday at 12 a.m. with the opening. What else can I assume when the bottle was opened at Eve and was not even optimally stored? Obviously it hurts economically to write an almost complete bottle of Ruinart. But either this should be in the lush calculation, or you can help lie in the evening with a little trouble before you uncorrect something new at the end. But the next night is rehearsing the standing stuff? This is stepless and does not fit this otherwise convincing star restaurant. There was a fresh substitute for inconspicuously informed criticism without marmots, but also without insight. This even disturbed the sweet fan, otherwise the mother Teresa of restaurant criticism. This explains the evaluation for the otherwise very good performance in the service. Cut the theme. Back to the extremely evaporated wine map, whose only 12 positions plus a number of open almost completely rely on Saxon products, with some Saale Unstrut. At least for me almost only unknown names. This is a courageous concept of regional support that must be respected. Of course, not too much capital is placed in the basement. Whether this is the reason for the friendly prices can be doubted. Perhaps an additional promotion of local winemakers and their beautiful drops? Either way, when you call from about 30€ to less than 50€, some speak for a second bottle. In the very early hour of the day we enjoyed a Pinot Blanc from the steep slopes of the Meissen Winery Mariaberg €38. By the way, the wine is cultivated by Stefan Bönsch from Dresden Langebrück, whose own sweet but surprisingly complex barn plant S convinced us on the recommendation of Mrs. Wirtin an dessert and cheese. Of course, the bottle of the Saxon mineral water at the end of the summer was stolen by 5.9€, now by 50 cents more. The bare tables were clearly covered. Nice misconduct, but a flat drawer in the table was well sorted... A fresh Brie foam with crispy artichokes and clearly accentuated love was hidden under a coral chip from red prayer. No eucalyptus, but still... On the other hand, a cube of forest mushroom and truffle sluice that seemed good, instead of penetrant. Both have been absolutely successful. The loose olive rosemary muffin also fell and went with the accompanying tomato butter to the first plate that followed the love apple in textures and temperatures. With Mozzarella ice cream and various good-lived herbs, Marcus Blonkowski played with the theme Caprese, to which he added Olive. It followed an intense essence of beef, class in meat flavor that the service at the table angoss. Thus the insert, actually a two-layer, had its solo appearance: a large cannelono in braid or perhaps a leaf optics filled with shots from the rose. And a gel roll of white port with vegetables Brunoise and Crème of red port. The alcohol and fruit notes on the meat of the broth were again a hand-made interesting modification of known taste patterns. This band is also very beautiful! As an interlude I had moved to the vegetarian department to tastefully strong, sadly some sandy plums along with their handmade "declinations" and crispy fresh asparagus on a thick slice loose napkin noodles. And of course the mushroom. And of course with the foam of butterflies! both later poured and added dropwise to Pallhuber"

"since my last visit, it has done a lot of gastronomy. I must confess it's been decades since the last visit. with a friend just for short what food works in the small "to forge " quite good. against 20.00 clock on Saturday was locally very well filled, so don't put any fear before it. the guests are mixed from young and older and the whole ambiente works loose and inviting. Just right for: big and small hunger a beer with the kumpels but if a little less loose is quite suitable for the conversation with the wein. the food: basic rule: my early building breakfast was much, heartyly seasoned (if then the kartoffels were a bit too solid) - but that is known to be a taste. there are various beers, which is quite pleasant not always to have the same drink. a minus I have to forgive and this is the ventilation. you get the visit later with , as the clamotte smells abundantly after fried. a positive conclusion : I mean and the whole positiw : a proper pub of which is worth visiting."

"Ich war Anfang Dezember mit meiner Freundin da zum Mittagessen. Ich war ganz gespannt was mich da erwartet weil ich viel positives gehört hatte. Das kleine aber wie ich finde ganz urig eingerichtete Restaurant war sehr übersichtlich und hatte neben der hübschen Tischdeko auch eine hervorragende Speisekarte. Nicht zu viel und nicht zu wenig. Es gibt auch eine Tageskarte mit extra Leckerein. Wir hatten die Ente mit Rotkraut und Kloß. Es war alles frisch zubereitet und geschmacklich perfekt. Auf dem Tisch stand auch eine Flasche selbstgemachter Glühwein mit liebevoll beschriftetem Etikett der Inhaltsstoffe. Ganz toll, wir haben uns dann für einen Rosé Glühwein entschieden, der auch geschmacklich unglaublich lecker war. Die nette Bedienung hat den Aufenthalt für uns dann noch so toll abgerundet das wir auf jeden Fall wieder vorbei schauen werden und gerne auch anderen Freunden davon erzählen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl bei euch gefühlt, danke und ein Lob ans Team."
