Delicious Leipzig - Traditional cuisine

The Auerbachs Keller welcomes you to the famous Mädlerpassage. It is the second oldest and most famous restaurant in Leipzig. It owes this fame to one person in particular (but not only): Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The restaurant has been attracting visitors since 1530 and is even considered one of the five most famous restaurants in the world in some studies. The cellar itself is divided into two areas. On the one hand, there are the four historic wine taverns: the Fasskeller, the Lutherzimmer, the Goethezimmer and the Alt-Leipzig. And opposite is the Great Cellar, which was built in 1912 with the Mädlerpassage exhibition center. If you want to visit the historic cellar, which is adorned with bronze figures of Mephisto and Faust at the entrance, you should prepare yourself for hearty home cooking. The soups, salads, classics from the pan, typical Saxon dishes, schnitzels, steaks and even vegan or vegetarian options are extremely tasty. The Auerbachs Keller was already one of the city's most popular wine taverns in the 16th century. But see for yourself.

In the Mädlerpassage above the cellar, you will also find the Mephisto Bar, which offers home-baked goods and coffee specialties during the day and cocktails and live music in the evening.

The Weinstock restaurant in the heart of Leipzig is located directly on the market square and is also just a stone's throw from Barthels Hof. 90 indoor seats, an exclusive wine cellar with additional seating and a fantastic summer terrace create a pleasant atmosphere, while carefully selected furnishings, stylishly laid tables and attentive service ensure an excellent stay.

While a hefty business lunch and a look at the menu of the day are worthwhile at lunchtime, in the evening you can even listen to the sounds of the in-house piano while enjoying cream soup, fillet of beef, Leipziger Allerlei or tarte flambée A constantly changing range of fresh seasonal cuisine makes a visit a real experience, even for Leipzig locals. And what rounds off a meal at Weinstock perfectly? Of course, the available selection of exquisite wines.

The Weinstock is one of the best culinary addresses in the city and impresses with its service, quality and unbeatable location.

In the Bayerischer Bahnhof combines so much: A restaurant with beer garden, an event venue of unforgettable gastronomic and culinary experiences as well as a brewery as the home of a Leipzig original - the beer specialty Gose. The Bayerischer Bahnhof offers a special setting for every occasion and is bursting with individuality. The location alone is a real eye-catcher, but the individual rooms inside the oldest terminus station in the world are also highly individual. Each guest room is uniquely designed and invites you on a short journey of discovery into the eventful past of this building.

In terms of cuisine, the Bayerischer Bahnhof impresses with traditional, varied and seasonal delicacies. The German cuisine with Saxon and Bavarian accents will whet your appetite. From soups and roast suckling pig to delicious potato bread or raspberry cheesecake on warm cherry ragout - the menu has a lot to offer.

And what else should you try? Definitely the top-fermented, slightly sparkling and even vitamin-rich gose, of course! The ultra-modern microbrewery in the Bayerischer Bahnhof has brought it back to Leipzig.</p

In addition to these selected restaurants, there are many other great cuisines in Leipzig that are definitely worth trying: The Apels Garten, the Wagners Restaurant & Weinwirtschaft, the only Gosenschenke worldwide, the restaurant Kollektiv in GDR ambience and the traditional Kartoffelhaus N°1. There are no culinary limits in Leipzig!
