€€Modern Cuisine, International
There's plenty to like here: The trendy concept not only covers lunch and dinner, but also breakfast, plus it has a café with pastries and delicatessen items. The space is modern and exudes a bistro flair; the open kitchen, in which seasonal dishes and smaller plates are rustled up, tends to draw the eye. The game dishes and the items cooked on the Josper grill, for example, are interesting options. Reasonably priced lunch.

Located in Dresden, Stresa specializes in classic cuisine.

€€Traditional Cuisine
This appealing concept combining delicatessen, café and bistro is the "little brother", as it were, of Feine Kost. Sharing the same premises, both belong to seasoned chef Mario Pattis. Kantine – open during the day – has a short menu that is supplemented by a handful of daily specials. The recipes stick close to the seasons and to products available in the delicatessen. Thanks to the open kitchen, diners are able to watch as delicious, meticulous dishes that won't break the bank are carefully prepared – the quiche is particularly popular. The service is friendly and down-to-earth. Tip: Choose

A French-style brasserie par excellence. Stephan Fröhlich and his wife Nadine run their small restaurant with a personal touch – he is the head chef and she is the sommelier.

In summer the gorgeous terrace beckons. Tip: Delicatessen goods can be purchased to take home. Overnight accommodation available.
