The restaurant is off the Marktplatz square in an alley way. The decor of the restaurant is wood…read morebeam country style adorned with women under garments from years gone by (petticoat etc.). My colleagues and I often refer to the place as the 'Underwear Bar'. One of the best home cooked German kitchen that I've ever been to. Great varieties to choose from beginning with your basic schnitzels to goulash with dumplings. The portions are large, delicious and uber authentic. Order a schnitzel and you will hear the chef pounding the pork in the kitchen! The staffs are super friendly and always try their best to accommodate their non-german speaking guests. The place also has a full bar with many different types of alcohol. As far as I know, they are open until 2 am but the kitchen closes at 10pm. On Friday or Saturday evening, the place can be crowded with the seatings only available at the bar. The prices on the menu are also very reasonable.

Clean, Comfortable, New...and "dark"…read more I'm working in Leipzig this week and staying in an apartment attached to the "Dark Restaurant-Moon Something", it would have helped to speak German-but convenience and a place that was very pleasing to the eye took precedence over cuisine or anything else. I walked in and asked to be seated for dinner. And no I didn't have a reservation. Sign in the window said to choose seafood, meat, vegetarian or house choice. I didn't realize that the sign in the window was the whole menu, or that dark and moon had a significance more than name. Dark, means dark here. Waiters and waitresses are blind. Tables are in a dark room where diners are lead and seated. Once sitting-food is brought to you, and served in complete darkness. Afterwards, diners are brought out to the bar area to discuss what they were served - they were not told specifics, and to share the experience of eating in the dark. Does it enhance the food? Could you talk comfortably while eating in the dark. And what would it feel like to always have to be in the dark. The manager thought the experience better if I was not alone. So I deferred dinner to another time, settling for dessert in the bar area before entrance to dark area. Interesting concept. 4 courses is 70 Euro Reservations suggested. Fun and thoughtfulness encouraged.
