Elements Deli Restaurant in Dresden was a pleasant discovery outside the city center, quietly tucked away between a few buildings and offering a peaceful setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine in the lovely courtyard on a warm summer evening, which turned out to be a great decision.
From the start, we were welcomed warmly and quickly served a bottle of still water along with some homemade bread and baba ganoush. The evening began with an amuse-bouche before we moved on to the four-course chef’s menu. I opted for the fish main, while my girlfriend had the Iberico pork. Each course was well-balanced, creative and beautifully plated. The wine pairing, thoughtfully recommended by our waiter, complemented the flavors perfectly.
Taste-wise, the entire menu delivered. However, what slightly held back the overall experience was the service. While the welcome was great, the attentiveness faded as the evening progressed. There were moments when we were left waiting for our glasses to be refilled or for the bill, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy.
Still, the culinary quality was solid and the location lovely. A well-executed dinner with room for slight improvement on the service side.
