"Great place to have food snacks drinks. This has a good view from top to see the Loschwitz Bridge and the Elbe River and the Dresden city. Amazing place. I ordered a fresh juice and chocolate pastry."
Aswathy Rajan
"Great view and very tasty food. The service was also very good and attentive, although the place was quite full. They have a small kids area inside which was great for my 1,5yo son. Outside going down the stairs they have a small playground, but not so inviting and meant for older children. We ate very well and enjoyed the view."

"Welcome to the restaurant with the best view in Dresden. The menu is diverse, the food is top-notch, and the drinks suit my taste. The service is good, the place is clean, and the view is outstanding. I am from Indonesia and hope to dine at this restaurant again💯🤤"

Der Luisenhof Dresden ist nicht nur bei den Anwohnern am schicken Loschwitzer Elbhang beliebt. Die Eigenwerbung als Balkon Dresdens trifft es ganz gut. Der Blick ins Elbtal jedenfalls wird euch unvergleichlich sein und reicht bis weit ins Elbsandsteingebirge.
