Whoever is tired of Sauerbraten and the Roulade should come here. I thought that the ice cream they used for deserts was a little lower quality, but the other dishes were simply delicious. From the street the place seems perpetually sort of deserted, but don't be discouraged, it is a great opportunity to try something new. Once you come in you will notice that there are guests inside. They have a print-out of an English menu, otherwise the menu is printed in Russian and German. I communicated with the waitress in German, not sure if she knows English.

I had a chicken dish (kiew) that was raw in the middle. the waitress took a look and said...” ah no” and took the court away without a statement. my husband ended his meal while I suspected that my was recovered. the second kiew came and was placed before me with a Kurt apology. she called the waitress and asked the bill, she came back with the kiew. Unfortunately, my German is not good enough to make a formal complaint, but I will never return to this institution again.

I just had a beer there during the lunch break which I imposed myself on the occasion of my visit...to the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, on September after eating a sandwich. Unfortunately my stay in Dresden wasn’t long enough for me to be able go to that restaurant to have a meal. I regretted much that impossibility on my part because, as stated, the Russian specialities listed on the menu looked very good. The staff members seem to be very kind. The lady who served me the beer at the bar was talking in Russian to another customer. I realized it was a slave language and when I asked her in Croatian what language she was speaking she answered me in a very graceful manner. Next time I go to Dresden I shall no doubt have a meal in the restaurant concerned.

Well, long story short, the Vareniki/dumplings were frozen ones, similar to the ones found in a supermarket. And the worst part was the Napoleon cake, unfortunately it was moldy. It is known that these type of cakes are sometimes frozen so we understand that it’s not fresh. But that one was moldy on the bottom. We decided to inform the staff, by showing a translation (en-ru) politely saying that there is mold inside of the cake, the staff responded with : okay okay Price per person: €20–30 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
