Grand Café & Restaurant Coselpalais

Walk four minutes to the Italienisches Dörfchen. This baroque pavilion complex offers a stylish, quiet atmosphere with old paintings and furniture. It is a perfect place to linger and watch the city wake up for the evening.

Watzke Brauereiausschank am Goldenen Reiter
Head to Watzke Brauereiausschank am Goldenen Reiter for dinner. This regional restaurant is one of the best places to taste authentic Saxon cuisine and their own-brewed beer. It is open until 24:00 on weekdays.
21:30
End the night at Paulaner's, a popular beer hall just a short walk away. Enjoy a selection of local and regional brews and a full menu. It is open until 22:00, so aim to finish your drink before it closes.
Local tip
The walk between the café and the Fürstenzug is flat and easy. After dinner, Paulaner's is a lively spot, but if you prefer a quieter end, the Bärenzwinger student club nearby offers live music and readings until late.
