We came here for the first time last year and I would have rated it around 3.5 to 4 stars. But last…read morenight? A solid five. We chose to sit inside to stay cozy--it was raining on and off. While sitting by the river is beautiful, we wanted to watch the chefs in action, which added to the experience. The wine list is excellent, with a strong French focus. I had a lovely rosé from Bordeaux, and Jack enjoyed a bold Italian red with his steak. We opted for the three-course menu, and the portions were perfect for the four of us. Everyone was happy with their meal. Highly recommend.

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.
