When visiting this part of the country, Tree Cake is the specialty you don't want to miss!…read more Came into Konditorei und Cafe Schreiber based on their too-tempting window display and announcement of homemade Tree Cake (Baumkuchen) Tree Cake was like a chocolate covered donut - not all that great What was great however was the cream & cake-filled tree cake. The cake was moist & the frosting / cream was not too sweet & the overall effect was delicious A-OK stop for a sweet treat

Saw a display of colorful macarons in the windows of Cafe und Konditorei Zieger so made a quick…read moredetour for some treats Macarons only okay & some very hard & chewy. Would pass on these But we also chose 1 of their Fummel.......it was like a poppadum / pita hybrid but with a light powdered sugar coating. The story behind this treat is something like a royal messenger was a notorious, falling-down drunk & to get him to stop drinking all the wine, they told him this pastry had to be delivered to the king, intact or he would be killed. The fummel was very fragile and couldn't be broken so he couldn't drink since he needed all his concentration to keep the fummel safe Probably is not the exact story but the premise is the point The shell broke very easily & we were amazed that something so thin & crispy would even stay in tact - very original idea & nice treat A-OK place overall & worth a visit!!

The Domkeller, which is part or attached to this is my favorite restaurant in Meissen. Great view,…read morewonderful food, great service. i go to Meissen every year to teach for a week and often eat here more than once. Can't always get a seat outside, but the food is worth eating inside. If you want outside there is another restaurant at the hotel 2 doors down and it is almost as good.
