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.

Came here for lunch on a weekday early afternoon, wanted to get the allerlei, but apparently that's a spring early summer dish. Ended up getting the schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) and spaetzle to share with my friend. Both were pretty tasty; schweinshaxe was really flavorful, soft, and juicy while the spaetzle was chewy and cheesy. €15 per dish, service was fine, sat outside, centrally located.

There house brown ale was good and I am not a beer guy. Staff was very helpful in providing options for other restaurants
