Moritz - Dresden

Excellent food and superb service, great choice of local wine, stunning roof terrace. Great for family occasion.

Reading reviews on Tripadvisor and from what the staff told us, local patrons seem to think this place is OK. Maybe we are too fussy, but it seems to us that the Chef was trained in North Korea, had browsed through an untranslated Nouvelle Cuisine book...but never got the concept.6 course menu, € 89.00 - seemed fine. First course: (thick) slices of roast beef (supposed to be wagyu but doubt it) announced with mandarin (turned out to be kumquat) and coconut mousse. Hum. The fish course announced as seabass with octopus (why not?) turned out to be solid state section of octopus leg stuck on a piece of overcooked fish. The rest of the dinner was of the same desperately wrong style, main veal course inedible.The whole exercise to the tunes of a one-year old baby that the parents took turns in taking out for a shake so that the other half of the couple could return to his or hers all-important SMS messages. Service staff were very kind and over-polite genuinely asking 'Schmeckt's?' after each course in such an earnest manner that we did not have the heart to tell them how awful it was. What this (very nice) place needs is a real restaurant manager and a new chef.

Dresden is a beautiful city, but a when i was taking a walk through the historical center. I started to be little hungry. Therefore, I went to Moritz restaurant and had lunch. The food was very tasty but it was not much:-)

We decided to make a reservation for our anniversary dinner on reading the good reviews. Moritz is on level 4 of Hotel Suitess, so we need to approach the hotel reception, and was then escorted up to level 4, and there, a restaurant staff greeted us at the elevator and brought us to the restaurant. First rate service.The menu presentation was also novel. We were given the menu, but only the man's menu had the prices indicated. Nice.The toughest part was deciding on the wine. We wanted to try a German red to go with our steak. The waiter was most helpful and recommended a red from a small local winery. The red turned out to have wonderful bouquet and for the price, a steal!The salad and appetizer were good, and so was the medium stirloin steak. Generous serving, I must say. We were there early at 6 pm, but the restaurant filled up by 7 pm. As there are only about 10 tables, a reservation is highly recommended.Bona petit!

A great selection of food in a grand setting of gilded furniture. Service was professional and we enjoyed the evening fully.
