In this restaurant, it seems as if time has stood still. The GDR-style wallpaper and decor and the menu, with dishes such as Thuringian Mutzbraten or Saxon cabbage rolls, are reminiscent of that time. The good portion sizes are best enjoyed with a Czech beer.

Karl-Liebknecht Straße 72, 04275 Leipzig, Germany
