On a weekend trip to Leipzig, my main goal while exploring the city was to check out its vegan…read moreofferings. Naturally I turned to Yelp while compiling my list, but I almost overlooked Green Soul, which opened in May 2015 and hadn't yet been added. Luckily Happy Cow had it listed, and so after checking out the menu, we decided to go there for dinner. The restaurant has a limited menu: there are five mains, along with a changing daily special, plus four appetizers and three desserts along with the option of ice cream. We ended up ordering the homemade lemonade: one with lemon ginger and one with lavender lemon. The former was a bit spicy and the second was very refreshing. They were also served with some bread and olives. For our meals, we got the seitan gulasch (with spätzle and salad) and the Green Soul burger with sweet potato fries. Both of them were really good. The former, which the fellow had, could have been improved (he said) with some onions and perhaps soy yogurt served with the entree. I enjoyed the fries and the mayo dip (and I normally am not into mayo with fries), and the "bun" was really tasty, though it fell apart a bit. If I were to change the burger I would make it fall apart less easily, and maybe throw in an avocado. But that's my personal preference. Finally, we ended our meal with dessert: chocolate ice cream with chocolate pieces for me, and vanilla tonka bean with waldmeister cream on top. In total, our bill came to less than €35. As for the building itself, it's done in a shabby chic style, with a lot of personal touches. The outside seating consists of metal tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk like a French cafe. Inside it's spacious, with a seating area to the right, a bar area straight ahead, and a sitting room area to the left, where people can relax on chairs or loveseats and talk or enjoy a drink. Upstairs is more seating, and there's also a children's room, with toys, and space to change diapers or feed your child. And of course there's the service; it was (mostly) prompt and very friendly all evening long. While there are still a few things to iron out (it is only three months old), Green Soul is already a lovely spot with a lot of realized potential, and worth checking out if you're looking for food prepared with a bit extra attention to detail.

I just stopped by for a quick meal on the way to studying and chose item number 50 (it was a curry…read morewith tofu and rice). Staff were quick to get my food; we were in and out in no time. The interior was also very nice. As I took my first bite into the vegetables, I noticed they tasted like meat. I wasn't too worried, as I know some seasoning makes food taste like meat, but in fact, has no meat products inside. I kept eating, but as I got near the bottom of the box, I noticed a white, soft-looking thing. I inspected it and determined it was chicken. This is a good time to add that I am vegan, but know how meat tastes as I switched about a year ago. My boyfriend, who is not vegan, tasted it and confirmed it was indeed chicken. He proceeded to eat my food and found more small pieces at the bottom (no larger than the size of a coin). They easily passed as cauliflower bits. Just warning everyone to always ask and confirm - even if the name beside the meal says "vegetarian" - that their food is meat-free at this restaurant. I didn't, which is my mistake, as the meal said vegetarian + I switched the sauce to sweet and sour. However, these kinds of mistakes are not to be made in the restaurant industry. It is very upsetting to me and has never happened before.

Also, kind of limited opening hours except on Sunday in which they also serve lunch which is, sadly, really overpriced​ to my taste (17 euros or so for a main dish). I love the original presentation of the menus and the lovely coffee cups. I would have given it 5 stars is everything wasn't so damn expensive and the coffee cups are THE SMALLEST that i've seen in town. So again, overpriced​. But if you don't mind the price its a highly recommended place!

Most important: the food, which is sooo unbelievably good! Everything is vegan, organic and freshly made. You can choose from so many options and combinations that it's hard to get tired of it with that kind of variety. The people who run the place keep on coming up with ideas and new stuff, not just foodwise but also in terms of events and ways to spend the evening. There is a very creative spirit and the atmosphere is relaxed, cosy and like a little hideaway. I like the openness, the mixture of people and that it's easy to get talking to other people. Besides that I love the concept of bringing chemistry and food together in this way. The prices are very affordable, especially when one keeps in mind that everything is organic and high quality food. You really get the feeling that it's not so much about the profit and that it's a rather prosocial approach. The team is warmly, inspiring, always up for a chat + a joke and they make you feel very welcome. I'm so grateful for this place! Well, I'm in love with Pizza Lab!
