Bavarian restaurant
The bavarian restaurant Augustiner an der Frauenkirche in Dresden offers traditional Bavarian food and flair on 3 floors, plus a terrace. The atmosphere is really nice, and the waitress who attended was really nice and polite. We liked all the plates, but especially loved both desserts. We would definitely recommend it.
