C'est la vie is by a wide margin the best fine dining restaurant in Leipzig that I have been to…read more We've been to Falco (2 Michelin Stars), which was at most a 1 Star performance. Granted, we were at Falco between Christmas and New Years Eve, when the A Team in restaurants tends to be on vacation We have been to just about every highly-rated restaurant in Leipzig. Max Enk (good wines, but just OK food), Mifune (novice, if not incompetent, Teppanyaki), etc. Sadly, there aren't a great many fine dining choices in Leipzig. Leipzig appears to be a culinary wasteland. Or so I thought. C'est la vie showed creativity and flavor that will hold up anywhere. I use Yelp a lot, but I don't write a lot of reviews. This restaurant wasn't even in Yelp and it most positively deserves a review. The foie gras, one of my staple dishes, was inspired. The pheasant cooked in spiced milk was prefect. The amuse bouche deserves an honorable mention. The sommelier was knowledgeable and patient. The potato essence soup was plain divine. Never had anything like it and I have been to more Michelin stars and Top 50 restaurants than I can count. Minus points for the bread and the first wine, both of which were boring. The latter might be due to the fact that our group had a bottle of Champagne prior, but the sommelier needs to take prior beverage consumption into account when selecting wines. Bottom line: clear Michelin 1 Star performance and utterly incomprehensible that this restaurant wasn't even listed on Yelp. Fixed.

We had a rare opportunity, a BachFest event in the special cellar. It was fantastic. The wine of…read morewacherbarth was paired up with Auerbach's food plus a cembalo tenor duo singing songs inspired by wine. The mater of ceremonies was a German wine Queen. We had so much fun, we returned to the big cellar for another meal. It was good hearty Saxon fare. Service was slow and the waitstaff seemed bored, less than interested in us and our experience. I'd make a visit again if in the area.

4.5* Our family of 4 came here for dinner. The restaurant is small so I was glad we had made…read morereservations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They started us with a welcome drink and fresh homemade bread w/herb butter which was delicious. We shared the duck carpaccio and fish tartare appetizers- both were tasty. The duck had a really nice smokey flavor. For entrees we had the cheese & herb ravioli which was fine, grilled iberico pork belly which was excellent- tender, moist and flavorful served with couscous. Sturgeon and veggies entree was also very good, very fresh. The weakest dish was the steak cooked 2 ways, one of the preparations was a bit overcooked and dry. For dessert we shared the espresso creme brulee w brownie and ice cream which was good with a nice strong coffee flavor. Overall we had a really good meal, and service was great. The place was charming and not touristy, and the food was more modern/creative. I would definitely recommend Restaurant Drogerie in Leipzig.
