Caroussel Novelle

Bülow Palais, Dresden, Germany · June 2026

A Baroque town palace in Dresden's Neustadt with a small dining room that connects Saxon produce to French technique, and credits neither. Serious work with the materials at hand.

The Bülow Palais is a Baroque town palace in Dresden's Innere Neustadt, with the Caroussel Novelle restaurant at its centre. The kitchen connects seasonal Central European produce to French technique without announcing itself as either: game from the Saxon forests in autumn and winter, Elbe fish when the season allows, asparagus from the Spreewald through May and June. It has held a Michelin distinction for sustained attention to its ingredients.

The dining room is small and the service informed without formality. Saxon cuisine is not a celebrated category, which is exactly what makes the kitchen interesting: serious work with the materials at hand, in a city better known for other things.

Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama: The House That Prints Its Prices, and the Season That Changes Them

A kaiseki house that tells you what dinner costs before you ask, which at this level is rarer than it should be. What its English page does not tell you is that the number changes on the first of October, in the months it also tells you to book early for.
