It's been here for the past 20 years, they have their own beer, a pilsener and a dark one. The food is pretty diverse and usually yummy. You can get anything from pasta, salads, traditional east German dishes, some met dishes. They also offer brats and cake. Many vegetarian options. Bring cash as they don't accept cards. The outdoor area is pretty big and there's always kids running around as they have a small playground.

They ring that giant bell periodically and have live music. Still, make no mistake, it's a restaurant for tourists. We sat for lunch and no reservations were required. The beer was good as was the food. You're saving about 5 Euro at Watzke per person by crossing the river for revert same experience you would have had adjacent to the replica buildings in old town. Make the wise choice.

Gänsadieb in Dresden serves solid German fare in a calm, classy setting. The fried sausage with…read morepickled cabbage and mashed potatoes was well prepared -- sausage crisp and flavorful (8/10), cabbage nicely balanced, and potatoes as expected. The fried pork stuffed with ham and cheese, served with fries and roasted vegetables, was hearty and rated a 7/10. Service was polite and efficient. In typical German fashion, the staff mentioned it could take up to an hour - customary way of managing expectations for seating or serving. I found this to be good practice, and in our case the dishes arrived in about 15 minutes, Sunday crowd at 5 pm. The ambience was quiet and subdued, with a classy feel. Even though it's a bar, there were no groups, likely thanks to it being a Sunday night. Overall, Gänsadieb offers reliable German dishes with thoughtful service and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a good choice if you're looking for hearty food without the usual bar crowd.

The weisswurst was very tasty and came two in an order and served in a tasty broth with small veggies. It also came with a pretzel which is a great deal for 7€. The beer was tasty as well. The meatloaf is very dense and cut like a thick ham slice. On the salty side, this was well balanced with the sour cabbage and potatoes. We also ordered a side of beer sauce which is similar to a gravy and goes with meat dishes, not an accompaniment to the pretzels. The sauce tasted strongly of dark beer. Service was wonderful and we were checked on often by our server. Menus have English translations and it was nice to see a good mix of both Germans and foreigners here. Overall a great dining experience.
