While waiting for the church, to open we took a much needed break and had a coffee and pastry here, sitting outside, enjoying the atmosphere and the surroundings. We usually avoid touristy places like this but what we had was very nice. I would recommend it.

Yes it's full of tourists, yes it may look even weird, yes not all of the food is like it should be but... you shouldn't miss it. Even just for a snack.

The Coselpalais Restaurant und Grand Café is a world-class café and an above average restaurant. We have eaten there several times, most recently with good friends who had never eaten there. This was our second time eating a meal in the restaurant. A look at the menu prices suggests haute cuisine; a look at the descriptions suggests up-scale. The food... More

Asparagus season is not to be missed at Coselpalais restaurant! A truly delicious menu of asparagus based meals (a separate menu) made me visit the restaurant for two lunches. It is a great spot for chilling with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee on a sunny day in Dresden.

Upon entering I though, Uh-oh, a tourist trap but far from it: the food was great, the service very attentive and the atmosphere very pretty. And best: I went for dinner but I saw people having a slice of cake and the service personnel didn't bat an eyelash. Keep it up, guys!

We went to Dresden to experience it during the Christmas time. The old center was full of amazed crowds of people. We had some Glühwein and went afterwards for a nice meal. The staff was friendly, showing us to a free table. The menu and everything was served from the right, as it should be. The meals were amazingly good,... More

On our recent visit to Dresden, we were fortunate to have obtained tickets for La Boheme at the Dresden Opera House, which is a magnificent building. it was a wonderful performance and we wanted to have a little something before returning to our hotel. The Grand Cafe was on my list of places to try (thank you TA) and what... More

We ate here on our last night in Dresden and were looking for something special. We found it.at Coselpalais. The setting is most elegant. The service was quite good, but slow by American standards, i.e. they were slow to deliver the check. The food was very good. We were surrounded by German speakers so i do not believe this is...

Interior is so historical and service is best in Germany. I had grilled tuna and now I even see myself eating it in dreams as well. Home made creme caramel with coconut is also nice. I had most romantic dinner with my girlfriend there.
