The tavern on the castle hill
The Domkeller is on the cathedral square, right at the top, between the Albrechtsburg and the canons' houses. It presents itself as Meissen's oldest tavern: as early as the 15th century the cathedral's bell-ringer had the right to serve drinks, and the castle servants, carters and soldiers drank here. From 1710, with porcelain being made in the Albrechtsburg, the first visitors began to arrive.
What to order
Traditional Saxon cooking, with a seasonal menu, local beer and wine from the Elbe valley. It has several old rooms, such as the Domklause, with stained glass and wrought-iron lamps, and a terrace with views over the old town and the river, the reason many people climb up.
When to go
Open every day from 11:30 to 22:00, and on Fridays and Saturdays until 23:00. It is a good option for lunch between the castle and the cathedral without going down into the town. By car, from 17:00 you can park on the Domplatz; before that, walk up.
What to order: a Saxon dish from the menu with an Elbe white wine, on the terrace if the weather is good
