About the restaurant

Im alten und neuen Herzen von Dresden, am Neumarkt mit Blick auf die Frauenkirche ist unser Restaurant gelegen. Aufgeteilt in verschiedene Räumlichkeiten auf zwei Etagen erleben Sie im Freiberger Schankhaus original erzgebirgische Gemütlichkeit.
Im Schankraum spüren Sie urig gesellige Brauhausatmosphäre. Der lang gestreckte Tresen mit Zapfanlage, dahinter die raumhohen Apothekerregale und zwei kupferne Sudkessel zaubern ein einzigartiges Ambiente. Bei Bier, Brezel und Plausch geht's hier recht lebhaft zu.
Ruhiger sitzen Sie im Salomoniszimmer. Durch seine Abtrennung ist dieser Raum auch für Gruppen bis 30 Personen geeignet. In Anlehnung an die Geschichte des Hauses wurde hier ein Teil der ursprünglich an diesem Standort ansässigen"Salomonis-Apotheke" nachgestaltet.
Im Sommer geht's hinaus. Unsere Terasse bietet für 180 Gäste unter freiem Himmel Platz. Sie sitzen direkt auf dem Neumarkt, um Sie herum die historische Silhouette unserer Stadt.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch!

About the restaurant

Having a brewery, beer garden and a ballroom, Ball und Brauhaus Watzke is a triple threat. Led by chef Rene Rodzinka, the restaurant is happy to serve its guests delicious dishes and drinks. Diners can indulge in drinks like beers while eating a meal like a peppered meat with mushrooms. Visitors at Ball und Brauhaus Watzke can enjoy their food while looking out the wide windows into the beautiful view of the Elbe River and the Old Town of Desden. Reservations and casual dining at Ball und Brauhaus Watzke are available.

Ristorante Don Giovanni

About the restaurant

Ristorante Don Giovanni's is a pizzeria extraordinaire. However, don't just limit yourself to pizza. Try Don Giovanni's garlic prawn spaghetti or the mozzarella foccacia. Michele Natale not only offers the authentic tastes of Italy, but he also offers candlelit dinners, cooking classes and wine tastings. It's a restaurant community where interaction is equally as important as the high-quality food. There are plenty of dining options, but the recommended choice is the designer grill option, which is 45 Euros per person and provides all you can eat. Ristorante Don Giovanni's will not disappoint.
