Delicious selection in a lovely pub

The ambience is very nice, and the outdoor area also looks beautiful. We tried the spinach pasta and the gnocchi. Both were very tasty and it was a good amount of food.

super lecker, tolle Location!

Durch HappyCow auf dieses Restaurant aufmerksam geworden und heute direkt getestet. Super lecker, frisch und reichlich. Sehr aufmerksames Personal, schöner schattiger Hinterhof.
Leider ziemlich viele Wespen (zumindest heute) - da könnte wohl noch etwas optimiert werden.
Ansonsten: top! Wir kommen wieder.

Umwerfend!

Wir haben draußen im gemütlichen Innenhof gesessen und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Es gibt eine eigene vegane Speisekarte und besonders von der Gnocci-Gemüse-Pfanne waren wir begeistert. Man merkt, dass hier frisch gekocht wird. Große Empfehlung!

Während unseres Urlaubs in Dresden waren wir noch ein zweites Mal dort, da es uns so gut geschmeckt hat und wir wurden wieder nicht enttäuscht. Diesmal saßen wir drinnen im gemütlichen Restaurant und probierten die Brennnesselnudeln und den Quinoa-Salat. Beides extrem gut und sehr lecker gewürzt!

Abends ist eine Reservierung empfehlenswert.

very recommendable

We had lunch there with 2 stews, 1 vegan & 1 vegetarian one. Both were delicious, the big portion was easily enough to eat. We enjoyed the food in the nice back yard of the restaurant. Friendly and fast service.

Pros: quality of food, own vegan menu & lots of choices, friendly service

Cons: no vegan dessert apart from hot chocolate&icecream, restrooms are not barrier free

Guter Aufenthalt

Wir sind immer zufrieden mit unseren Aufenthalten im Brennnessel. Vor allem im Sommer ist es schön auf der Terrasse zu sitzen. Manchmal dauert der Service etwas und es ist eher höherpreisig. Ich würde auf jeden Fall empfehle eine Reservierung zu machen, wenn möglich. Die Auswahl ist sehr groß und fast alles lässt sich vegan machen, wenn es das nicht schon ist, alles in allem zu empfehlen.

Pros: Große Auswahl, Schönes Ambiente

Cons: Hohe Preise

Make a reservation!

Be sure to reserve a table if you'd like to eat there. We came on a random Wednesday late afternoon & could hardly find a seat for only half an hour. But we were lucky & tried the homemade orange mulled wine & a soup & both was very very delicious. The vegan menu is as long as the omnivore one but with nearly no upcharge.
Would definitely recommend this small, cozy, rustic restaurant! ✨

Super lecker

Wir waren zur Weihnachtsfeier mit 12 Personen dort. Es gibt viele vegan gekennzeichnete Gerichte zur Auswahl.
Alle, egal ob veggie oder vegan waren sehr zufrieden. Die Portionen waren ordentlich groß und schön angerichtet.

Ich bestellte den warmen Fenchel - Tofu - Salt mit Maronen, Champignons und warmem veg. Feta.
Absolut lecker. Das warme Gemüse mit Tofu und Feta war auf Salatblätter angerichtet. Also mehr Gemüse, weniger Salat. Kann ich sehr empfehlen und werde ich auch nächstes mal wieder bestellen.
Ich würde 5 Sterne geben, da sehr viel vegane Auswahl auf der Karte ist.

Pros: Total lecker, Gemütliches Restaurant, Essen kam schnell

Pasta with vegan cheese

Italian restaurant with few vegan options. All 4 pasta dishes can be made vegan by changing the cheese for vegan cheese. They also have salads. They haven’t gnocchi, rice or other Italian food with a vegan option. The food is good, but there are only 4 dishes to choose from. There are no vegan desserts.

Pros: Good food, Vegan cheese

Cons: Only 4 pasta dishes to choose

Hello! It seems like the Italian restaurant you mentioned has a limited selection of vegan options. It's great to hear that they offer the option to modify their pasta dishes by substituting the cheese for vegan cheese, which allows vegans to enjoy those dishes. Additionally, they have salads available as well. However, it's unfortunate that they don't have vegan options for other traditional Italian dishes like gnocchi or rice. While the food itself is good, it might be a bit limiting for those looking for a wider variety of vegan choices. It's worth noting that they don't offer any vegan desserts, which could be a disappointment for vegan diners with a sweet tooth. Nevertheless, it's good to know that there are at least a few options available for vegans at this Italian restaurant. https://nachrichtenmorgen.de/gnocchi-pfanne/

Fast alles kann vegan zubereitet werden

Total viele vegane Optionen, fast alle vegetarischen Speisen können auch vegan gemacht werden. Dies ist auf der Karte auch sehr verständlich gekennzeichnet. Der Innenhof ist ein Traum zum draußen sitzen. Die Gerichte sind zwar teuer aber auch ziemlich groß (zumind. die Nudeln). Nach meinem Geschmack hätte es etwas würziger sein können, aber leider stand auf dem Tisch kein Salz Pfeffer… war aber trotzdem lecker☺️

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen, Richtig schöner Innenhof, Aufmerksames Personal

Cons: Teuer, Hätte etwas würziger sein können

Lots of vegan options

Almost all dishes are vegetarian and for a lot of them there are vegan options available.
Portions are quite big.
They also have outdoor seating and vegan ice cream for dessert.
This place is quite popular so better reserve a table.

Pros: Lots of vegan option, Big portions, Friendly staff

Lockt vegan, mit Hunger verlassen.

Lockt mit Veganen und glutenfreien Gerichten, die viel zu klein portioniert sind. Der aufgerufene Preis ist daher nicht gerechtfertigt (Überbackenes Baguette = 2 halbe Semmeln, also 1. Mit etwas Gemüse und Käse überbacken). Die doppelte Portion wäre mengentechnisch ausreichend gewesen. Zudem die Bestellung falsch aufgenommen und bei der telefonischen Reservierung hochnäsig und unfreundlich gewesen. Die Online Reservierung hat drei mal nicht geklappt.

Pros: Vegane & Glutenfreie Alternativen

Cons: Zu kleine Portionen, Dafür zu teuer, Unfreundliches Personal

Tolle Entdeckung!

Die Optionen sind vielfältig und köstlich. Die Portionen stimmen und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Gerichte sind auch eher ausgefallen und nichts, was man in einem 08/15 Restaurant bekommt. Für jeden war etwas dabei.

Wenn ich mam wieder in Dresden bin komme ich vorbei!

Pros: Mehrere vegane, leckere Optionen, Ausgefallene Gerichte, Freundliche Bedienung

Cons: Teuer

5 Star Experience

The app doesn't let you put 5 star rating here, but let me tell you, this is a 5 star review.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff and loads of vegan options. You can order a vegan version of almost every meal on the menu.

All dishes are made fresh, with high quality ingredients and lots of herbs and spices. Each meal tastes unique and looks appetising.

I had baked potatoes with sunflower seeds and cherry tomatoes. The herb sauce was phenomal! My partner had the pasta with mushrooms and tomato sauce. It was fantastic too.

I can only highly recommend this place.

Delicious and cozy

Food is amazing, I had the gnocchi, it was so good. Also the lemon sorbet is to die for. The atmosphere is really cozy, and the staff friendly and funny. It's a bit outside the centre so you wouldn't typically pass by, but worth a little detour.

Most dishes are available in vegan

A cozy place not far from the old town of Dresden. Most dishes are available as a vegan version. Staff is quite friendly and prices are reasonable. We went there for lunch with no reservation but at night they were all booked so reservation is recommended.

Pros: Many vegan options. They also have outside seating

Big portions and mainly vegetarian

BrennNessel seems to be a very popular place, so you should call in advance and reserve a table, especially if you would like to sit outside. They are not a fully vegetarian restaurant, but close (I remember seeing one meat dish on the menu), and there are sufficient vegan options. I had the gnocchi with peanut sauce, which sounds a bit strange, but was actually really good! And the portions are huge!

Pros: Mainly vegetarian, Large portions , Tasty

Cons: Can get crowded

Good. a lot of food!

The garden is very very nice to sit in. It was crowded and portions where very very big. Food was good, not special and vegan options labeled clear. Make sure you book your table. It seems to be fully booked all of the time. It is a 10 min walk from the centre of the city. The menu has a lot of info. Even a bit confusing

Pros: Nice outdoor seating.

Cons: The starters where in same menu as desserts

Amazing vegan dishes! Better reserve a table.

Great experience! There are so many vegan dishes out of local ingredients! I tried the vegan gnocci and they were just amazing! Very good ratio of the price and the size of the meals. Also the white grape juice was super tasty!
Funny, very friendly waiter and nice atmosphere in the whole restaurant. You should reserve if you come at „normal dinner times“: we coincidentally came at 5:30pm where they had just opened so it was fine, but after 6:30/7pm the whole restaurant was reserved and crowded.

Pros: Very creative vegan options, Local & regional & seasonal

Excellent vegan food

We ate here early Feb 2020 for dinner several nights. The place is tiny, quaint, crowded and noisy. Despite these, the food makes up for it. We had the bruschetta, gnocchi mushroom bake, and potato smoked tofu pan.All were excellent. We will be going back the next time we visit.

Pros: Lovely vegan food on own menu in English, Beautiful ancient building, Clean restrooms

Cons: A bit expensive, Some servers don’t speak English

Big vegan menu, super tasty, big portions

It‘s a rather small restaurant with low ceiling, wooden furniture and many pillars. Cozy and familiar feeling - however can get quite crowded and there is an unpleasant table right at the entry. Make sure you reserve a table and rather eat before the lunch rush. Wait times can be long according to the menu, however we experienced the opposite - food came fast, it was freshly made and super tasty.
We ordered entry soups, which might have even filled as a main course, they made us quite full. Also got the bruschetta, very tasty!
For main course we got chilli con tofu (vegan), pasta and gnocchi. All very viable options, filling and tasty. Even my meat eating family didn‘t choose a meat dish. :-)
Staff were friendly, toilet was clean. Highly recommended.
