Domkeller — Restaurant in Meissen

We were there yesterday, celebrating a birthday. We had a table at the upper balcony and the view was amazing- unfortunately this was the only positive thing about our experience. The service was polite, but completely overwhelmed and took forever to take and bring our order. Some of the drinks we had to ask several times for. We weren’t asked at all if everything was good with our food while eating, and when we complained to the waiter about one of our main courses- a salmon trout that tasted like mud, he said someone will be coming to us and left. After waiting for 10 minutes and realizing that nothing will be done about our complaint I took it upon myself to bring the full plate back inside where another employee finally paid us attention. Meanwhile behind us and next to us (inside) were seated parties of obviously important guests that had several waiters taking care of them and what made us feel even more out of place was the fact that both tables were prepared carefully with white table cloths, while our wasn’t. If you won’t bother taking care and treating all of your guests, that are seated in the same area equally, then don’t bother seating them in the same area! This is literally hospitality 101 and I hope whoever this review really concerns does something about it in the future as it’s just unacceptable. I am pretty sure we would have felt much more comfortable and wanted if we were seated downstairs with all other guests that also had no tablecloths on their tables. The grand finale to our fiasco was having to pay for the salmon trout we brought back, but at this point we already had no desire to make our day and the birthday of our family member even more of a negative experience by arguing about it. The generally positive reviews of this restaurant make me feel like this is not a standard for them, but I personally won’t be recommending it or...

Sometimes you’re giving German restaurant another chance and just remember why you shouldn’t. But first about good things: as an oldest restaurant in the city it has according atmosphere and design. Another point-beautiful view from the terrace. If you want just vibe and beer-place for you. Service was also acceptable, but that’s all. Food: portions is not very big. If you’re coming here hungry after walking around the city, be ready to order a few dishes per person and leave here some money. Food was not hot and some parts of the dishes was questionable quality (for example, cucumber in salad tasted like it was laying outside of the fridge for some days). Meet had too much mustard, but it’s more of a personal taste. No vegan dishes, as always in German restaurants. Kitchen was nice to make baked potatoes without sour cream, but if you’re vegan it would be your only option here.

In the end: it’s a dissent place to get some drinks in summer and enjoy the view. As a restaurant for dinner, you can do better even in...

An unforgettable dining experience in the heart of historic Meissen!

Visiting Meissen – a city full of charm and centuries-old history – was already a delight, but discovering this gem of a restaurant made it truly unforgettable. Nestled above the banks of the Elbe River, the view alone is worth the visit. Watching the sunset over the water while enjoying a meal here was simply magical.

The service was exceptional – warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home and took great care to ensure everything was perfect.

The food? Absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. And the highlight – Elbsommer beer, brewed exclusively in summer – was the perfect companion to the meal. Refreshing, local, and full of character, just like the town itself.

If you’re ever in Meissen, don’t miss the chance to dine here. Great food, fantastic beer, breathtaking views, and impeccable service – a perfect experience from...
