The espresso here is definitely the best I've had on this trip. Definitely worth the 15 minute walk from the Leipzig Markt. Oh, and if you're lucky you will be helped by Leah, super friendly and speaks perfect English. She and Hanna let me know the coffee roasting takes place Tuesday's and Thursday's. Hanna can talk to you about the different roasts they offer already bagged.

Our appetizer arugula salad with Parmesan was delicious. We shared a pasta with salmon dish and a vegetarian pizza. Both were generous portions and superb. Prices were very reasonable, especially after coming from Berlin. Service was excellent with kind staff willing to help us, the only non-German speakers there. We considered this a real find.

"I won't keep this open a single minute past 22:00" said the manager. Once we had a couple of extra people, they refused to move a couple of tables in order to get everyone seated together.

So, I went to Ambrosia because it was attached to my hotel and was (a) the only place in the area…read moreto eat and (b) the only place open at 10pm. By the time I got there it was empty, as in I was the only person there, and the staff were just sitting around. Cant blame them, there was a snow blizzard outside. From the decor you can tell the place is quite nice. I actually thought it might be awkward because I was alone and it was late. The staff were incredibly nice to me, seating me at the bar area where I could talk to them. They are full on Greek and make some delicious Greek food. The menu is huge and selection is endless. I went with a sampler that included gyros and some other skewered pork, with rice, salad, fries, the works. It was delicious and I wish I could have eaten it all. They even topped my meal off with a free shot of Ouzo! Overall, what could have been a really awkward experience turned out to be a great opportunity to meet some friendly people. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. Would love to return some time at a decent time when the place is busier.

Auerbachs Keller was made famous by Goethe's great work Faust, and this historic restaurant offers…read morea menu of traditional Saxon dishes in an atmospheric cellar setting. To start, Kalte Köstlichkeiten were a selection of housemade cold appetizers: smoked duck, pork, jellied beef, Wurstsalat (sausage salad), Leberwurst, boiled egg, hot smoked salmon, cured salmon, and three different soft cheeses, along with a side of bread and crispy potato pancakes (similar to hashbrowns). This was definitely my favorite dish thanks to the huge variety of flavors, textures, meats, and preparation methods. Since it was asparagus season during my visit, we ordered Spargel von einem Pfund, a pound of white asparagus served with butter and new potatoes. The white asparagus had a subtle, slightly sweet flavor, which was accented by the melted butter. The daily special was the Wildschweinbraten, slow-cooked pieces of pork covered in a creamy mushroom gravy, served with red cabbage and chewy, buttery potato dumplings. Finally, Martens Gartensalat was a huge mixed salad made of various leaves, along with pickled vegetables, rice salad, lentils, roasted broccoli, marinated mushrooms, dried root vegetable chips, and house smoked/cured salmon--a delicious, refreshing, crunchy mixture featuring so many different flavors! Overall, Auerbach's Keller was a great restaurant to experience traditional German cuisine. The food exceeded my expectations, and the service and traditional atmosphere were highlights too!

I'd make a visit again if in the area.

Mit fantastischem Ausblick auf den Augustusplatz wollten wir gerade unsere frisch zubereitete Pasta genießen als meine Schwester die Gabel mit verzogenem Gesicht wieder hinlegte. Sie meinte ihre Pasta schmecke ihr nicht. Die Mischung aus Tomatensoße und Basilikumpesto würde sie ungenießbar finden. Zudem würde es schlecht also faulig schmecken. Nach einem kleinen Disput riet ich ihr das Gericht zu reklamieren. Leider standen bei der Zubereitung viele an. Aber Glück im Unglück. Ein total motivierter und freundlicher Mitarbeiter fragte was das Problem sei und machte meiner Schwester neue Pasta. Der Tag war gerettet! Vielen lieben Dank! Die Toiletten sind sauber. Für Hände trocknen gibt es einen elektronischen Händetrockner. Einen Wickeltisch gibt es auch in der Damentoilette. Zwischen Oper und Gewandhaus gelegen ein Super Spot! Auch das Ambiente innerhalb des Restaurants ist gut abgestimmt. Abwechselnd Hochtische, Normale sowie Couch Tische schmücken das idyllische Restaurant. Nach dem Essen bietet sich eine perfekte Gelegenheit für einen Spaziergang durch die Stadt. Shopping darf natürlich nicht fehlen. ;) Wir kommen gern wieder.

They have wifi, bathrooms, and outdoor seating (not only in the front, but in the back of the building where there is shade). I have to admit that I didn't like the iced latte I tried, but I think that's just because I'm an American and still not used to the milk here. The cappuccino, however sat with me very well. It had a nice, subtle flavor with smooth texture that I'm sure to be ordering again. If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to hang out then I'd definitely recommend Jeepney! P.S. I'm excited to try their breakfasts, which I have heard good things about

Best service with a smile every single​ time, and i thinkI've​e been there once a week for about 2 months or so. As a vegan, i dont really have too many options when it comes to desserts (and, sadly, no options when it comes to "real" food or breakfast during the weekend), and the desserts are always the same- a vegan brownie, carrot cake and a Philippian​ dessert which looks like a flat cake. Good size coffee mugs for a fair price. Non-vegan​ summer drinks are beautifully served in huge gars with ice cream and whipped cream and look just great, kind of American​ style. They also have home made chai and home made cupcakes (but again, nothing vegan). Seating is indoors, in a small but lovely and hommy, inviting space, outside on the street (only one small table) and lots of space in the backyard​. Can book it for special occasions if you'de like. Not the cheapest place but i much rather support hard-working​, kind individuals instead of a global corporation​.

Traditonal no, but we are in Germany not Japan! Everything we ordered was good beyond just edible…read morebut nothing ticked all the boxes as the flavors we love from Japan, gyoza was probably the most traditional. Hubby ordered ramen it's the reason I choose this place on a cold day and his love of ramen. He ordered #2 Gyu ramen, he asked for extra spice (which comes in a bowl on the side) and changed the beef for the rolled pork which was his favorite and most authentic part of the ramen. Noodles were obviously thinner and from a bag compared to fresh ramen in Japan, but he was happy to enjoy and slurp all the broth! I ordered Yakitori as our appetizer which was all white meat which i prefer typically but never had yakitori this way nor had it not coated in the sauce as part of the grilling process; came with a yaki dip that was okay nothing great nor memorable. I ordered the chicken gyoza which was great, To round out my meal as I prefer all the stuff other than ramen I ordered the Karaage which was served on quinoa (which I learned I guess I like) it would have been 5 stars had it been served with lemon and find ground salt and pepper like it should be! All in all if we were back here we might hit them back up, unless better reviews for another japanese style place was in the area.
