Ratskeller Der Stadt Leipzig

Bitterly disappointed. Showed up at our reservation time and as we looked thru the menu, there were no steaks to be found. The reason we had chosen this restaurant was because of its web site that touted their meat. We really never got a satisfactory answer as to why steaks were unavailable, but I'll take that as our fault for not speaking German. So, if you're going there expecting a tasty steak, make another choice. No second chances from our group.

Great food, beer, service, and atmosphere. We had several meals in Leipzig and this was our favorite.

Thwir food is from another world. The German pork knuckle is second to none. Under the crispy skin it was juicy meat. Have to say, this is total surprise in my first trip to Germany. Their beer is also very good. You have to try their Leipzig Gose beer. 5 stars.

OMG. Just Oh. My. Gawd!!!! I read the reviews about the sous vide pork shank. I have never eaten pork this fall-off-the-bone, melt in your mouth delicious! 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.

Me and my sweetheart had tickets to a show, the world class Oper Leipzig . We were dressed up and had a reservation, maybe that made a difference? We were given the best seats in the house, got exceptional service. The food here is traditional but done so well. She got a steak, cooked to order. I got a schnitzel witb a puffy light breading. Side dishes all shined. Bonus beer flights. Our waitress knew we had a show to attend. She could not have offered more professional service.
