If you find yourself wandering the quaint streets of Ludwigslust, make sure to seek out the gem that is Alter Dragoner Restaurant. Tucked away at Kathe-Kollwitz-Straße 1, this delightful eatery is a curated treasure trove of authentic German cuisine that invites you to indulge your senses.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere, where friendly staff are eager to ensure your experience is nothing short of exceptional. The restaurant, known for its vibrant ambiance and happy staff, sets the stage for a memorable dining outing. With large portions that echo the hearty spirit of traditional German fare, every meal transforms a visit into a feast to remember.

The menu boasts a variety of culinary delights, yet a standout dish that has captivated the hearts—and taste buds—of patrons is the acclaimed schnitzel with mushrooms. Imagine a succulent piece of meat, perfectly breaded and fried to a golden crisp, served topped with a rich and savory mushroom sauce that dances on your palate. No less delicious is the schweinegulasch mit Kloßen and rot cabbage, which has even become a nostalgic favorite for travelers far from home. As customer Alfred E Neuman shared, it’s a dish that “reminded me of Mum's cooking," illustrating just how comforting and genuine the offerings are.

While many visitors rave about the divine flavors and generous portions, it’s worth noting that the establishment operates on a cash-only basis, which has left some guests surprised.

Seems a little hidden away but 100% recommended.Best food and service. Huge meals. Great atmosphere in restaurant and staff all happy as. Not sure why you can only pay in cash but we are in Germany so it is what it is. Schnitzel with mushrooms the yummiest I've had.

The food was divine and the portions were generous. The service was kind and helpful. The only thing we were disappointed about was not being able to pay by card. All in all, we'd be happy to return.

On holidays from Australia and popped in for a late lunch, beautiful schweinegulasch mit Kloßen and rot cabbage, reminded me of mums. Nice pilsner too! Recommend highly if you are passing through.
