lila Soße

Fabulous place in quirky alley with changing Daily menu, food was exceptional

It’s a hidden treasury in an alley! Food is appetizing. I had the pesto dip with bread basket and kohlrabi soup as the start, and picked one of their daily specialty dish (#5 as shown in the photo) - Duroc pork chop (Kotelett vom Durocschwein), which was just amazing! Unfortunately I was thereafter too full to try any of those famous jars here. Overall great food, ambiance and service at Lila Sossea (Soße), which is also tourist-friendly for those who can only speak/read English.

We had wanted to try this restaurant for a while and finally we managed it for a summer dinner. The location is nice inside the Neustadt but not directly in any of the big streets, but in the Kunstpassage. We only tried dishes out of the day menu and they were fine. I particularly had the zucchini-mushrooms tart and it was slightly too salty for my taste. We would be interested to try things out of the regular menu the next time.

The food is fine - not great but not bad. The server was so rude to me I almost cried - honestly I can’t recall being treated so rudely in a restaurant in my life. She completely ignored me while actively providing pleasant service to the tables all around me. People who came an hour after me were served before me. The server walked around and asked other tables if they were enjoying their food but didn’t speak a word to me. She cleared my plates without speaking or even looking at me - she seemed to be trying to avoid eye contact. It’s true that I don’t speak German but I am polite and patient, and she was speaking fluent English with other tables, so I don’t know what the issue was. For context, I arrived at 7:00 and had to flag down her colleague at 7:41 to finally order food, which reached my table at 8:15… the same time as the table beside me received the same dish that they had ordered at 7:55. When I went to pay I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip. For what? The manager said that the poor service was because they were busy… but apparently my server was only too busy to help me yet had exactly enough time to provide good service to every other table all around.

Beautiful modern German cuisine. Very tasty, nice staff and a modern setting.

Loved the atmosphere in the cozy courtyard, and the tapas were delicious, although they don't come cheap. The waitress was very helpful but not super friendly, maybe she was just having a bad day

Super nice! The food was excellent, aps the slider with bread, roquefort and honey. Main corse was the veal cheak, cooked to perfection. Also the wines where very nice. Besides that our waiter was a super friendly and relext! Perfect place for good food and nice atmosphere

Not a large choice but that, wat is served is very tasty and original Saxon (German region of Dresden)We liked in particular the parsnip soup. Also, the location is very nice, a place to be if you like street art.

Wow! What a hidden gem! Probably one of the best meals I have *ever* had, and I don't say that lightly. From the food to the cozy atmosphere, everything was perfection.

The place is original and pleasant, with friendly and polite service. The food, however, seemed average to us: the fish fillet and roast beef were, in our opinion, too salty, and the portions a bit small for the price. On the terrace, the presence of numerous flies also partly spoiled the meal.

The food was great! The ambience is a bit cold though, uncomfortable chairs and tables. And the waiters seemed a bit busy and took a bit long to bring us the drinks. But they were friendly and nice, and the food makes the place worth a visit.

Had a really good meal here lovely cosy place. Ordered their lamb, bolognese and fish the portion is just nice for 4 person sharing! Tasted amazing particularly loved the bolognese. Tried their starter sausage with mango-chill coriander sauce and boy that was delicious! Their mint tea and hot lemon was tasty as well, very warming on a cold day. They are pet friendly as well! Highly recommend this place

Cannot recommend this place too highly. Superb little restaurant in the funky Kuntshof courtyard in Dresden Neustadt, offering modern takes on traditional German dishes. Gets busy, even mid-week, so may be worth booking ahead.

Simply delicious! Excellent food, nice service, lovely location and relaxed atmosphere in the frma of the Kunsthofpassage. Totally recommended! (Best Königsberger Klopse and mashed potatoes)

What a great restaurant, with numerous dinner options and daily fresh sheet. Being celiac, they had plenty of dinner options. The servers were attentive and very tourist friendly.

The glowing reviews for this place really speak for themselves. We decided to stop by without a reservation, hoping to get lucky and thankfully, we did. Despite being fully booked and having to turn away several walk-ins, the kind lady behind the bar managed to find us a small, cozy table. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, especially the woman who greeted us - always smiling and attentive. The food was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the asparagus risotto, which was absolutely spectacular. I chose one of the daily specials listed on the boards - a burger. It turned out to be a fish burger.. Now, a quick note: I don't like fish. Yet, in what I can only describe as a true testament to the chef’s skill, I finished the entire dish and would gladly order it again. It was that good! All in all, this place exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

We came here randomly during our two days in Dresden and we can now definitely say we love the “young German kitchen” that Lila Soße has to offer. The atmosphere is very nice, sitting in the kunstpassage with its mosaic murals. The food was incredibly tasty and home-y, leaving nothing to be desired. While we only had beer, we did see they had a great wine list too. An absolute must visit!

The menu and daily special has been breathtaking. Uhr variation of tapas sized plates and main dishes for every taste. Vegetarian, fish and meat. All has been tasty combined with care-taking friendly service. Worth checking out!

Excellent inventive cuisine in a fantastic setting. Highly reccommended!
