A traditional German restaurant with changing monthly specials. March is fish month so we had two…read moreof the fish dishes for our mains. For starters we had the garlic bread and a portion of the oven-baked goats' cheese with apple and mango sauce. Both dishes didn't require any cooking skills at all but took a while to arrive. Our mains were okay. The monkfish sadly was overcooked and didn't really work with pasta and tomato sauce. The service was alright. We were served by 2 different waiters, the female waiter was attentive and friendly, her male co-worker....well, not so much. For the prices they charge, which are slightly above average, we did expect better service and better execution of the dishes. We probably wouldn't pick this place again.

Recognizing my German was bad he brought an English menu. I selected a starter and main Goat cheese- plating was nice and taste were excellent. Thick balsamic vinegar with a local type salad. Accompanied by a local fruit and liquor chutney. Is this in one bite with the brûlée goat cheese made an great taste. Veal schnitzel - no surprise here. Well cooked and crispy. Taste was great. Sides were asparagus local grow. White asparagus with a sauce. Very tasty. Also some home style potatoes. Everything taste perfect and well seasoned. Double expresso- in typical German fashion excellent strong expresso with as side of water.

This huge restaurant seems to be an institution in Halle. Decorated with all sorts of memorabilia…read moreof past days, it is a real treat for the eye. Take some time wandering around and exploring pictures and objects of the old Halle dating back to horse and carriage times. The menu is traditional German cuisine, with a special seasonal menu for the likes of Christmas, 'Spargelzeit' etc. Most dishes can be had either as a regular or a small portion, with the small portion being big enough to feed the average adult. I had the horse goulash with red cabbage and potato dumplings, amazing! They do brew their own beer on the premises and have a good selection of German and other European wines. All this counts up to 4 stars, the fifth star is for service and price. The staff was lovely, welcoming and straight away offered an English menu. My main meal cost 9.90Euro which I still can't believe as it was amazing and so much food, I couldn't fit a desert in. And that was the small portion! If you ever find yourself in G.F.Handel's home town, try this place for a proper German dining experience with a bit of history on the side.

I visited Leipzig on a warm weekend with really nice weather, so the many outdoor cafes beckoned me…read moreto sit back and relax with a cold beer and a nice meal. There are loads of outdoor cafes in Leipzig with seating in the pedestrian zone. They are really nice places to people watch. I had real trouble finding a place because all looked equally good. I decided to try this restaurant right next to the Nikolaikirche. One reason was that they had a good placement of umbrellas and a few open tables, so I could find a nice spot in the shade. They also had a chalkboard up advertising a special with Thüringer Bratwurst. The price was really good, just about 8 Euros, so I decided to give the place a try. It was well worth it. The service was very quick. My order was taken right away by a very nice waiter. I ordered a Gose beer, which was excellent. I was glad to try the local beer here with its very distinctive taste. The food came out hot and very fresh. I really liked the sauerkraut and the bratwurst. The potatoes, though, were a little bland. This was a really nice restaurant to eat at. I would recommend trying it, especially in a nice day when you can sit outside on the patio.

The skin was crispy but not hard, but easy to cut. Amazing doesn't describe this meal. The sauerkraut and potatoes were perfect. The gravy was perfect. The meal was perfect. The atmosphere is very nice, and the service is attentive. I will eat here every time I'm in town. That 1,100 gram pork shank, with sides and a bottle of sparkling water was only €30 ($33)!!!! Easily two very large meals. Bravo, Ratskeller, Bravo! One of the very best meals I've eaten in all of Europe.
