Villandry Restaurant

It is rare to meet such a great restaurant in Dresden in reasonable price. We are visiting here regularly to celebrate our special occasions. Every single time we are satisfied with great food, drinks and service. The whole crews are very friendly and listen to the customers well. Needless to say the ingredients are all local and fresh harmonizing in mouth. The atmosphere of the restaurant is modern and elegant with very nice taste of interior. When the weather is nice, you should check out the garden area too. Pretty small but green and peaceful outside to enjoy the meal.

We went for Dinner and decided on the 3-course menu with accompanying wines to match the different dishes. Food, wine and service were excellent! Each course was explained to us in great detail without any rush and you could sense the passion, for quality of ingredients, presentation and taste of the food and service, that the entire Villandry team embodies. We had a great evening and will definitely consider revisiting in the future.

Very good! Great friendly service, small but well balanced menu (enough vegetarian and pescatarian options), delicious food and a pleasant courtyard to sit outside.

Perfect! Excellent food and great service in a friendly warm atmosphere.

We had an outstanding dinner at the restaurant! Really delicious and creative dishes and a good wine list.

I had a great time, as did everyone else, service was great. Thanks for a great evening

My wife and I attended an Alpine cooking course on September 12, 2015 run by two wonderful gentlemen both named Tobi. Chef Tobi's teaching style is calm, smooth, and effective with a heavy emphasis on core principles that comes only through practiced mastery. In other words, you may work through a recipe during the course, but you're not there for the recipe. You're there for the principles you didn't know you should've learned already: how to let the knife cut, how to cook meat evenly without drying it into boot leather, what you should be doing with your food waste, or whatever other fundamentals apply that day. You'll leave amazed that your feeble hands produced food that good. That said, enrolling in the course was a logistical challenge. All reviews were in German, and I had to pay for the course with a wire transfer which is expensive and inconvenient, so enrolling was a wild gamble as well as a hassle (but still a top 5 event on my long trip). Villandry should at least start accepting PayPal for course reservations. Bottom line: when in Dresden, visit Villandry.

If it was cheaper I would go there every week. In my humble opinion this is the best restaurant in whole Dresden.

The setting is sublime. Tucked away in a small side street in the "new" old city, its only a couple of hundred years old, and being summer we ate outside. That was the last really good part of this restaurant. The food is good, but certainly not a Michelin quality restaurant. The ingredients are fresh and the cooking somewhat creative. The problem was that it took nearly three hours to have dinner. The waitresses, all two of them, were serving about 40-50 customers. The result was that we felt totally forgotten. They were friendly and helpful and spoke good enough English, but we were all so irritated by the end that we could hardly wait to get out. There are a number of restaurants of comparable quality, and if you have limited time, stay away

What a great restaurant. Our server was so friendly and sweet -- she translated everything on the chalkboard for us even though we volunteered to try to puzzle through it ourselves. We started with a glass of sparkling wine with rhubarb syrup. Light, refreshing, and not too sweet. My appetizer of duck in phyllo pockets with a warm plum sauce was amazing, and so was the cod with lentils and pumpkin. Great atmosphere, delicious food, lovely service. Well worth the walk from Aldstadt.

vollkommen überschätzter laden der so in seiner form eben nur in einer stadt existieren kann die sonst an kulinarischen höhepunkten nachholbedarf hat. liebloser bis arroganter service, an- und abserviert wird nach bauernregeln - von allen seiten, da wird hemmungslos über gläser und teller gegriffen... da fallen die löffel der vor- und hauptgerichte sowie der nachspeise schon mal ziemlich laut auf den tisch... der gast soll ja auch merken dass die enzige bedienung echt keine lust hat... gekrönt wird das durch endlose wartezeiten... begründet mit: 'wir kochen alles frisch' HALLO: das ist auch in anderen restaurants der fall - echt! und da klappt das in angemessener zeit... und von einer sterneküche, die auch eine angemessene organisation und gästebetreuung beinhaltet, ist man hier meilenweit entfernt. 50 minuten für einen schwertfisch bei halbvollem restaurant sind eine zumutung. ein lässiger kellner, der bei nachfragen eine handbewegung in richtung gastraum macht und damit eine derartige warteschleife begründen will hat seinen beruf verfehlt. kunden in einem restaurant heissen immer noch gäste... schade dass der durchschnittsgast aus ermangelung an erfahrung keinen wirklichen vergleich ziehen kann... und schade auch, dass etwas kritischere kommentare in facebook einfach gestrichen werden. aber eine solche auseinandersetzung mit seinen gästen spiegelt die ganze phylosophie wider die von starker geringschätzung geprägt scheint. ein echter willen zur verbesserung und zur dienstleistung sieht anders aus. fazit: wer den abend über nix vor hat, auf getränke und essen warten kann und dabei auf rustikalen service steht ist im villantry bestens aufgehoben.
