Awesome dishes in a very cozy nautical-themed restaurant in Dresden! We were helped by a friendly…read morewaitress (Kristin?) who did her best even though we didn't speak much German at all. It all worked out great in the end! We ordered the three-fish-fillet plate, the breaded sea plaice plate, a salad of mixed vegetables and a dessert of sea buckthorn creme brulee. Everything was incredibly delicious, well plated and well executed! Lots of the ingredients were fairly unique and not stuff that one would commonly see in the US. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for good seafood in Dresden. In particular, they offer a number of high quality freshwater fish which are difficult to find in other places, like zander. Definitely do keep in mind that this place serves rather large portions (it's a good thing!) -- we finished everything but I was definitely really stuffed by the end. The restaurant is easily reachable by tram and one good idea is to first take a walk around the Grand Garden in Dresden and then head to dinner at Schwindts. We stayed even a little after closing (it took quite a bit of time to read and figure out the menu) and not once were they pushy about trying to get us to leave.

Probably former state restaurant ( ) for Stasi dignitaries of the GDR. The formerly grandiose decor…read morehas become terribly impoverished. The kitchen has followed this trend. Cooks are desperately trying to come up with innovative dishes. A variation of seafood products of which only the tuna sashimi is good. And for good reason, it requires no preparation. The baby calamari are centuries old and rubbery, the scallop gratin is bathed in the water rendered by the cheese, etc. The beef tartare is super-fat and original with mustard ice cream. The lightly filo breaded prawns are quite good. Don't order the cheese plate : it looks like under blister cooked cheese of low class supermarket. Crêpes Suzette are tasty and prepared on an old kitchen stove of a military cart. Professional service, probably the best of this pretentious fable.

For this place being in Germany, it's a very good place for food…read more I am close to giving them 5 stars but the meat lacks flavor and .. well, how meat should be. This review will be solely about their tapas. Let's go over the cons/ warnings first : 1. Avoid ordering beef 2. If you love lamb, do NOT order lamb. The meat itself is better than beef but the 'lamb' is extremely faint. 3. Tapas are small dishes .. these are very small. 4. Add salt and pepper to EVERY dish, you will thank me. 5. Avoid coming here at noon and 5-7pm The Pros / awesomeness : 1. I'm a newly born olive lover, they got great olives. 2. Nice waiter/waitresses 3. Unlike most of the other European restaurants, this place is open during afternoon hours 4. Good prawns but small with good garlic mayo dip 5. Squid salad is good, too bad that it wasn't grilled 6. Due to the small portions you get more variety at each table 7. They got the BEST ham and dates, it was so fu*king mouthgasmic. Great location, sits right in front of an old blackened (burnt perhaps) church tower and in a small street but still close to the small shopping streets. Conclusion : If you need a break from the usual heavy German food or Italian food around, come to this Spanish tapa bar/restaurant. And MUST MUST order the ham and dates, I haven't stopped thinking about it since I've had it. Olives are small but extremely flavorful and addicting. 15-20 Euros for each person, give or take if you are ordering alcohol. Parking available right in front of the restaurant,
