In a classic way you can enjoy one of the most famous specialties, the Leipziger Lerchen, try it. From 1876 onwards, hunting for larks (more precisely the skylark, a songbird and a popular delicacy at the time) was banned and could no longer be served. The Leipzig bakers then came up with a solution and invented the Pastries made from shortcrust pastry and strawberry jam or marzipanThe crossing strips of dough on the baked goods are still reminiscent of the stuffed, laced songbirds. You can enjoy this special speciality, for example, in Gasthaus Barthels Hof or by Kaffeehaus Riquet. You can also order them online. For example, at bakery Kleinert or when Café Kandler.
Also the Bachtaler has become an integral part of Leipzig. The Café Kandler has this sweet seduction from a chocolate shell with cream-butter ganache cream created especially for the 250th anniversary of the composer's death. If you bite into the Bachtaler, you will be greeted by a coffee bean covered in hazelnut shortcrust pastry surprised.
