Pulverturm — Restaurant in Dresden

A very unique and atmospheric restaurant, designed in the style of a medieval knight’s hall — with arched doorways, wooden decor, and armor elements that truly transport you to another era. It’s the kind of place where you want to pause, take your time, and enjoy the moment.

We came here for lunch, and the service was warm and polite — the staff were friendly and made an effort to ensure we had a pleasant experience.

We ordered two portions of solyanka soup, Marinierter ribs, a dish called Lieblingsgericht, and quark dumplings (syrniki), listed as a main course on the menu. The presentation was beautiful, everything looked appetizing and well-prepared. The food was cooked properly, but the flavors didn’t really suit our personal taste — not because it was bad, just not quite what we were expecting. The quark dumplings were especially sweet, and we didn’t enjoy them at all.

A small but odd detail: in the restroom, there was so much toilet paper that it was even hanging on the coat rack, yet there was no soap available to wash your hands — a strange and not very pleasant oversight.

The bill for lunch was €90.

Overall, this restaurant stands out for its original atmosphere and immersive interior. It’s a place full of character, and for those seeking a medieval-style lunch experience, it’s definitely worth a visit. Hopefully next time, the flavors will match the magic of...

Low rating mainly based on our female, Pakestanian-looking (sorry if I got your nationality wrong, should have gotten her name as record) girl with a nose ring. She was rude and looked annoyed when I was asking to order water for my elderly grandparents. I'm sorry, I speak 3 languages but German is not one of them.

She immediately pointed at the most expensive water. I asked for 3 glasses with bottled water, no, pretty much got coerced into ordering 2 bottles of water.

The male waiter with her was the only nice thing about the restaurant and greeted us with a smile and helped the waitress do her job and got us what we needed.

The worst thing about all this is (TOURISTS BEWARE), it is NOT mandatory to tip the servers unless satisfactory in Germany. The waitress was like, "oh this check doesn't include a tip" and had the nerve to ask for it. We were nowhere satisfied with her service. If it weren't because my uncle wanted to be polite and I didn't want to make a scene on the spot, i wouldn't have tipped.

If you wanna work at a "touristy place", clean up your attitude.

The food was ok, I have lived in Germany for an internship years back. I knew we could have gotten better food elsewhere with better price but grandpa was hungry and wanted to sit at the first restaurant in sight.

If you walk around the city center a bit more, there's...

Extremely mixed feelings here. On one hand it is so over the top in a good way - all the decorations, flags, weaponry, colorful costumes, live musicians and illusionists hired by the restaurant - it all gives a feel almost of a half restaurant, half medieval theme park. And as such it felt really impressive, typically touristy, but cool place. The food was nothing special, but really solid - tasty, not too expensive and fresh.

But personally we had a really awkward experience - one of the restaurant's illusionists, who came to our table, was really surprised that we do not speak German good enough to talk in it and asked in perfect English where are we from. When we responded in English that we're from Warsaw, Poland he said in a serious manner that he never heard of "Warsaw", that he only knows Cracow, and then he suddenly walked away without any smile or even a word. And obviously without showing us anything, but honestly it's not about that.

It was just sooooo awkward: - the fact that a German person never heard about the capital and biggest city of one of its biggest neighbours and that he showed no interest in talking to us after learning we're from Poland.

Our waitress was extremely nice though and overall we would still probably recommend the place - especially...
