To start, Kalte Köstlichkeiten were a selection of housemade cold appetizers: smoked duck, pork, jellied beef, Wurstsalat (sausage salad), Leberwurst, boiled egg, hot smoked salmon, cured salmon, and three different soft cheeses, along with a side of bread and crispy potato pancakes (similar to hashbrowns). This was definitely my favorite dish thanks to the huge variety of flavors, textures, meats, and preparation methods. Since it was asparagus season during my visit, we ordered Spargel von einem Pfund, a pound of white asparagus served with butter and new potatoes. The white asparagus had a subtle, slightly sweet flavor, which was accented by the melted butter. The daily special was the Wildschweinbraten, slow-cooked pieces of pork covered in a creamy mushroom gravy, served with red cabbage and chewy, buttery potato dumplings. Finally, Martens Gartensalat was a huge mixed salad made of various leaves, along with pickled vegetables, rice salad, lentils, roasted broccoli, marinated mushrooms, dried root vegetable chips, and house smoked/cured salmon--a delicious, refreshing, crunchy mixture featuring so many different flavors! Overall, Auerbach's Keller was a great restaurant to experience traditional German cuisine. The food exceeded my expectations, and the service and traditional atmosphere were highlights too!

I'd make a visit again if in the area.

While several people rated this place with 5 stars my wife and I are thinking that people from the former East Germany have a lower standard. I ordered the Schweine Schnitzel which I could hear them pounding back in the kitchen which is a great sign. So, the Schnitzel was very fresh and very good. It was the fat Pommes (industrial french fries) and frozen mixed vegetables that were a disappointment! My wife ordered the chicken salad which she really liked. So, just beware what you order and enjoy this hidden place!

There are loads of outdoor cafes in Leipzig with seating in the pedestrian zone. They are really nice places to people watch. I had real trouble finding a place because all looked equally good. I decided to try this restaurant right next to the Nikolaikirche. One reason was that they had a good placement of umbrellas and a few open tables, so I could find a nice spot in the shade. They also had a chalkboard up advertising a special with Thüringer Bratwurst. The price was really good, just about 8 Euros, so I decided to give the place a try. It was well worth it. The service was very quick. My order was taken right away by a very nice waiter. I ordered a Gose beer, which was excellent. I was glad to try the local beer here with its very distinctive taste. The food came out hot and very fresh. I really liked the sauerkraut and the bratwurst. The potatoes, though, were a little bland. This was a really nice restaurant to eat at. I would recommend trying it, especially in a nice day when you can sit outside on the patio.

To go along with our beers, we started with two warm, soft, chewy pretzels with obatzda, as well as the Fränkischer Brotzeitteller, a mixed board with Leberkäse, Haxensülze, Kalbfleischpflanzerl (veal meatballs), Pfefferbeißer (raw pork sausage), Rindermett (beef tartare), Bergkäse, pickles, tomato, egg, butter, horseradish, and dark-colored slices of potato bread. For our mains, the Salatschüssel was a mixed salad of greens, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, potatoes, green beans, egg, and a honey mustard dressing, topped with a grilled salmon fillet. Finally, the star dish was the Knusprige Schweinehaxe, a huge, whole, crispy pork knuckle served with two chewy Kartoffelklöße (potato dumplings) and Weißkrautsalat (white cabbage salad). All in all, this was a hearty, delicious meal that came with super friendly service in an atmospheric setting. A great place for a local experience!
