Together with his sister Nicole<\/strong>, he runs the charming restaurant in a stylishly restored sandstone vault <\/strong>– rustic in ambience, sophisticated on the plate. Nicole welcomes guests with warmth and a fine sense for wine: her selection comes exclusively from the Elbland and Saale-Unstrut regions <\/strong>and perfectly complements her brother’s creative compositions.
Marcus Blonkowski cooks what inspires him – seasonal, straightforward and full of respect for good products. Instead of culinary theatre, he focuses on intense flavour, precision craftsmanship and a clear signature. Those who wish can choose \u00e0 la carte or be guided by the surprise menu with four to eight courses.
You can tell immediately that the food served here is not average: Blonkowski was once a junior sous-chef at the two-star restaurant at the Palais Coburg in Vienna. His dishes are skilfully prepared, technically precise and yet pleasantly unpretentious – a cuisine with depth and character <\/strong>that rightly deserves its star.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBautzner Stra\u00dfe 149, 01099 Dresden \/\/ Tuesday to Friday 5 – 11pm, Saturday 12 – 3.30pm & 5-11pm \/\/ Book by phone on 0351 250 28 337 or online<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t ![\"Genuss-Atelier](\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Sternekoch-Marcus-Blonkowski-und-Team-800x450.jpg\")

In June 2025, the family restaurant was awarded a Michelin Guide star for the first time. When Martin Walther<\/strong> took over the restaurant from his parents in the coronavirus year 2020, he radically changed the course. The restaurant, located on the edge of the Dresden Heath and serving tea dances and home-style cooking, became one of the most innovative restaurants in the city on the Elbe. Menus such as \u2018wasser&weide\u2019 and \u2018acker&beet\u2019 tell of the roots as well as a strong vision for the future of the restaurant, which has been in the family for four generations and whose origins go back to Martin Walther’s great-great-grandparents and the year 1904.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMartin Walther experienced everyday life in the catering industry from an early age. He learnt about the world of gourmet cuisine – characterised by modern, international influences – in Dresden’s Michelin-starred restaurants. On his way to becoming a top chef, he cooked at the Genuss-Atelier and Caroussel, among others. He has combined these experiences with the Silesian-Saxon cuisine of his parents and grandparents to create his very own concept of modern Michelin-starred cuisine with Silesian influences<\/strong>. He has already been awarded the Bib Gourmand twice for this. The ultimate accolade came in June 2025: the first Michelin star!<\/p>\n\n\n\nUllersdorfer Platz 4, 01324 Dresden \/\/ Wednesday to Sunday 6pm -10:30pm \/\/ Reservation by telephone on 0351 268 31 66 or online<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dresden-Magazin-Restaurant-Heiderand-800x450.jpg\")

He uses his impressions from all over the world to give new impetus to his interpretations of the culinary signature at elements. The fact that the restaurant also has an eye for aesthetics is not only evident in the expressive presentation of the dishes.
