Bonjour Madame et Monsieur! Chef Jörg Mergner and the team of Palais Bistro welcome you with an authentic bistro kitchen, offering a range of German-French cuisine in a charming Francophile ambience. First-class creations such as our Steak tartare, Burgundy escargots and classic Truffle tarte flambé or Quiche Lorraine make the culinary journey through France a pure culinary delight. For a fine dessert, we recommend Crêpes Suzette, which are freshly prepared for you directly at the table and served with sour-cream ice cream. In addition to our seasonal menu, we also offer a changing four-course menu for EUR 49 per person. Let us surprise you. Palais Bistro – the ideal place in the heart of Dresden for a dinner for two, a quick bistro lunch at lunchtime or an evening with friends. And from April we welcome you again on our summer terrace in front of the residence castle. Bienvenue!

Small, fine and very special: With the only sushi and oyster bar in Dresden, a real gourmet island opens up, not only for Japanese delicacy lovers. Indulge your senses with a variety of noble delicacies directly at the Taschenbergpalais. Right next to the main entrance of the Kastenmeiers, the team of Japanese sushi cook Takamitsu ‘Taka’ Hanawa and bartender ‘Mo’ Manapori from Australia welcome you. Whether rock oysters or flat oysters, whether from Brittany, Ireland, Russia or Sylt – at least three different varieties of fine seafood are always in the house. Sushi master ‘Taka’ prepares unusual sushi creations fresh in front of the guests’ eyes, but also popular classics such as maki, inside-outs and nigiri.

In addition to culinary delights, ‘Mo’, the good soul of the small bar, conjures up international cocktails and surprises in particular with his own creations. If you think Champagne Taittinger is the right choice for oysters and the like, then the entire range of the traditional French brand is available for selection and is preferably served in magnum bottles.
