ALEX Leipzig in Leipzig

The food was basically good. Unfortunately, the portions are too small and the drink prices are too high. Overall, rather satisfactory.

Schnitzel was a frozen schnitzel, portions were super small.

We were there for the first time today with children, it was wonderfully beautiful. There were eight of us, including a child aged three. Aside from the great food and great service, there was also a small play area. We'll be coming back more often from now on. Thank you.

Best ALEX we know. The staff is super nice and friendly. The food is amazing, incredibly good quality. 😋 Unfortunately it's also expensive, but it's worth it. On weekends it is advisable to reserve a table. We always come back when we are in Leipzig. 🫶🏻

Drinks original, food great, staff super friendly. Only the toilets could be cleaner. Paper was all. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Delicious food in a chic atmosphere

Always nice, delicious food, top service.

I was alone in the Alex Leipzig restaurant and thought that I might have to wait longer, as is often the case. But the service was incredibly quick, and the food was delicious. Thank you for the great experience!

As always, a very nice morning at Alex. The waitress Peggy was very friendly and quick, always had a kind word for us. The food was very fresh, tasty and varied. You can't taste everything, so of course we will come back. Keep it up.

Great food , great experience.. professionally handled, and the waitresses are cheerful..

It was very nice and the service was very nice and friendly

Nice central restaurant, very nice service. The cake was very tasty, the coffee was good. We still had the Alex Fries Deluxe Style. Sounded very tasty, but unfortunately it only comes with 3 drops of sauce and 3 grated vegetables, so it just looks so pretty. Otherwise they are very expensive dry fries. Sauce, so that it doesn't get dusty, is only available for an additional charge. Very long wait for food. Too bad.

NEVER AGAIN! I can't recommend Alex Burger as it's very dry and expensive! Drinks are also way too expensive. Cola 0.33l for €4.40. That's usury! Additionally, the service literally ignored us. Tables were not cleared, we had to clear the plates ourselves so we could eat on the small tables. The request for food was only accepted after an hour. This was our last visit to Alex.

This restaurant used to be my favorite in the city. Unfortunately, that has completely changed. In my opinion, the bruschetta was limp and the portions have become smaller and smaller in comparison over the last two years. The service made us wait for a very long time and the table was almost never cleared, so that during dinner we still had the remains of the starter on the already very small table. Drinks were only replenished upon request. The main course (baked potato) was very tasty.

The food was really tasty, we had pizza rolls as a starter and the Asian burger and the schnitzel with mushrooms for the main course. And for dessert, waffles with cherries. Personally, I find the non-alcoholic drinks too expensive. I had a homemade lemonade, which was unfortunately very watery and with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of old, shriveled ginger. Even if it's more decoration than taste. Would I rather put fresh ones in or none at all. The Sunshine smoothie, on the other hand, was super tasty 👍

I was there for the breakfast buffet. It was very nice, everything was tasty and sufficient. Be sure to reserve.

Very nice staff. Everything is a bit tight. Breakfast buffet was good and sufficient for the price.

Price/performance doesn't fit here at all. Overpriced food and drinks.

Very nice and quick service despite the restaurant being full. The food was very diverse and delicious. Gladly again :)

Currywurst and schnitzel were good, but the dessert, orange sorbet, nut ice cream, Kaiserschmarrn, etc. was phenomenal. Simply great!

Nothing to complain about. Simply a great selection and incredibly tasty.

We were very satisfied with the food and drink. The atmosphere was also very nice.

Fast and friendly staff. Very chic atmosphere and the food is great.

Service was great and friendly, food and drinks were always perfect and very pleasing to the eye. Always happy.

Restaurant, food, drinks and service ok. What doesn't work at all are the birds (birds) in the restaurant. They fly over the guests' heads and over the food and debris on the chair or table. It's not hygienic at all, it's more a case for the authorities and hygiene officers. You should take a closer look here.

A good way to get something warm to eat late.

Good breakfast with a large selection

Went to dinner for two. The ambience was good. The restaurant wasn't full but you didn't get served quickly enough. We've already finished eating for more than 20 minutes and none of the waitresses who walk past clear our table. Now we provocatively have the plates placed on top of each other (see photo). Still, no one cares, people continue to walk past happily. Conclusion: the first time with Alex in Leipzig and the last time.

Great food. Price + performance is right.

The quality of the food does not justify the high prices. These would have to be better for that. The entire restaurant has something of an oversized, impersonal train station hall. Doesn't necessarily invite you to linger.

Nice drinks and food. Kaisenschmarrn was cold..

An ordinary restaurant with a busy atmosphere and an unconventional menu. Some of the staff are friendly, while others have a somewhat unusual approach. It’s more like a food factory, reminiscent of fast food. Nothing you absolutely have to visit on a trip to Leipzig…

Unfortunately it was very loud. Price/performance ratio doesn't fit at all. Eating so-so...

Good in itself but Kiba in a wine glass doesn't work at all!!!! Then too little for the price!!

Very friendly service, super tasty food and nice atmosphere

Unfortunately, we were very dissatisfied with the service on our last visit. The cellar treated us unkindly and just let us sit outside. Even though we had ordered and were seated at two tables, we were asked to leave because our group was supposedly too large. This treatment was very unpleasant and made us feel unwanted. I hope you can treat your guests better in the future.

Disappointed with our visit here. We were a group, and after ordering, the staff informed us that if we didn't order more, we would need to vacate the table for other guests. This approach felt very unwelcoming, especially given that the restaurant wasn’t busy and we saw no sign of people waiting. We felt rushed and uncomfortable, which made it hard to enjoy our time. A more customer-friendly approach would definitely improve the experience

Great location, very central. Very high prices.

Maybe the kitchen should ask what a pastrami sandwich is! Just appearance is not enough when it comes to food! The service is absolutely overwhelmed. There are more sparrows (no joke) in the store than waiters.

Service was always present. We sat comfortably. In warmer weather you can sit outside.

Basically a pleasant bistro atmosphere and of course very nicely located behind the Old Town Hall. The restaurant wasn't full this afternoon, but we still waited 50 minutes for a burger and an appetizer. Only when asked after 40 minutes was the food prepared quickly. Sweet potato fries costing just under 7 euros were overly fried and some were already hard. Staff friendly, but moderately professional. The lamps are completely covered in dust and filled with dead flies. Some of the seat cushions are completely broken. Men's toilets for sitting in are unkempt, some full of feces etc. Sitting outside in the summer is very nice if you have a lot of time.

Great and delicious again 👍😋 Fast and super nice service 🤗 Thank you, see you next time

We ate there, the food was OK but nothing special, could be better. I wouldn't order the schnitzel again. Service OK, atmosphere quite nice.

After ordering, it took over an hour for the food to arrive. Burgers and fries were a given.

Great location, relaxed value for money. Very nice, attentive staff. There is a lot of smiling, which is rare these days.

Today the four of us went to Alex again and we realized that the price and performance at the breakfast buffet were no longer right. Sausage and cheese offering nothing special, hardly tasty salads, a little more variety and selection would be desirable. Fruit salad, canned beetroot, etc. Not exactly sustainable and healthy. The location is generally a bit old.

It's a cool place with great cocktails. The staff always tries to offer you a table, even if it's only for 1.5 hours. Top.

Although we asked for a window seat in the reservation email and several tables by the window were free, we were not allowed to sit there. The waiters seemed extremely stressed. After receiving the cards, they arrived every minute after (what felt like) 30 seconds 3 different waiters to take the order. Extremely loud acoustics. Food was great, but unfortunately the rest wasn't.

The food was quite good, only the rolls were probably a bit old. The waitress was very friendly and, even though they were full, spontaneously freed up 5 seats for us and rescheduled everything. We had the breakfast buffet for 15€ which is really a good price, and the selection was sufficient. We'll be back (and then with a reservation).

I started a mini-job at ALEX Leipzig about 1 ½ years ago and am glad I quit as quickly as possible. At that time I was just 18 and wanted to improve my financial situation. After I asked for a job, everything happened very quickly and I was hired a few weeks later. I understand that it can be stressful, especially on weekends and holidays. However, this in no way justifies the lack of empathy and deceitful behavior among colleagues. Many things were not discussed with me, such as the exact working hours or my tasks. More time should be spent on thorough training so that new employees better understand their tasks. If this is not possible, you should think about something else, but barely training new employees and almost “disgusting them away” is unacceptable. I never really felt welcome and often heard gossip from my colleagues. After a few days of work, it was clear to me that I wanted to quit as quickly as possible. When I handed in my resignation and work uniform, all I was told was how inappropriate my behavior was. In fact, a colleague intercepted me on the way out and told me that I had done everything right and that he was also thinking about quitting. In summary, I would like to emphasize that I definitely do not recommend the ALEX Lokal in Leipzig as an employer.

The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. I found the sparrows in the restaurant a bit unpleasant... And it was very loud in the restaurant

Very pleasant atmosphere (we sat in the corner by the window) Small minus point, it was a hike to the toilets.

We didn't have a reservation but the lovely lady from the service managed to accommodate the 5 of us. The buffet was very tasty and the staff was also very friendly. Any time

We decided to go there in the evening after we arrived. The food was very good, freshly prepared and tasty. Our service person was also very attentive and advised my wife on what to eat after the “dish meal” was no longer available. I would love to be back in Leipzig

Very aesthetic and nice atmosphere, unfortunately I didn't receive what I ordered, but it was still tasty :)

Delicious drinks, very friendly and quick service. I felt very comfortable. Gladly again.

At Alex there is something to eat for every taste and it is extremely tasty. It is a relaxed and informal atmosphere, which the staff also contributes to. You are served casually but competently and you don't have to wait long for what you order. Only the walk to the toilet is quite far. You shouldn't wait until the last second otherwise...

Delicious breakfast, pleasant atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and in a good mood.

Another hospitality that we discovered in Leipzig that we really liked. We were still hungry after visiting the variety show and tried to eat the delicious sausage salad again in the Augustinum. Unfortunately, the kitchen there closed at 10 p.m. but and that's no longer normal, the cheeky waiter with the eye-catching earring and the knickerbockers pointed in the direction of the Old Town Hall and advised us to go to Alex, as the kitchen was far from closing time there. Despite a certain amount of skepticism (because the woman was hungry), we followed the advice and were absolutely thrilled. There was still the entire menu, I only took a bruschetta (perfect), my wife a Buddha?Bowl - and even though it was quite late (11:30 p.m.) there were highly motivated and friendly waiters and everything was clean and tidy. Any time.

I invited my parents here and it was our first visit to Alex. We were very positively surprised. The staff was very very friendly. There is a very large selection of food at lunchtime. The quality of the dishes was great. Everything we had was very tasty including the drinks and dessert. It is definitely recommended to pre-order. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area. 👍🏼

There were three of us eating there and the table was reserved two weeks in advance. There's nothing to complain about in terms of service, everything went great and two changes to the food weren't a problem. As for the food itself, the starters were beautifully presented and you can't complain about the taste either. As main courses we had the two steaks (ordered medium and got ideal medium) and the Currywurst Deluxe, all three dishes were sumptuous and really tasty. Only the prices were quite steep, but you probably pay for the location.

I was there for the first time Unfortunately there were no signs indicating where the food was, so I was a bit hesitant about breakfast

It was really tasty Friendly waiters Ambience really nice

Nice, nice and often full. Food quite good

Very, very nice restaurant with very good prices and a very nice staff. Definitely worth recommending.

Die Limo & der Eistee schmecken sehr gut! Frische Zutaten und angenehme Kombinationen. Der BERNSTEINKÄSE KÜRBISRÖSTI BURGER ist im Großen und ganzen ein gelungener Burger mit einer sehr Guten Kombination an Zutaten. Lediglich das Prime Beef, womit geworben wird schmeckt leider mehr wie ein Weizen Vegan Patty als nach richtigen Prime Beef. Der CHICKEN HUMMUS BURGER ist im Gegensatz dazu eine reine Katastrophe, schmeckt wie ein schlechter Salat zwischen 2 Brötchen. In meinem Fall war das Hähnchen Filet auf dem Burger eiskalt, als ob es schon 30 Minuten vorher da lag. Die Pommes sind Standard Pommes aus dem Großhandel, schmecken aber in Ordnung. Angenehmes Ambiente ist vorhanden. Der Kellner war zwar sehr freundlich, sollte aber daran üben vielleicht ein wenig lauter zu reden und nicht alles zu nuscheln das man mehrmals nachfragen muss.

Unfortunately only 3 stars for the ambience because the birds in the house unfortunately pooped on our table several times. The rest was almost perfect if it weren't for those annoying piles that ended up right next to the food, even if it was a buffet for us.

After an initial unfriendly greeting and seating, our waiter really did a great job. He was friendly, there when the glasses were empty and very careful. As always, the food was delicious and despite the large group, everyone got their food at the same time. I'd love to come back.

Horrible experience!! The service is really bad. The boss is very unfriendly and the staff isn't really focused. I don't recommend it.

I have never eaten such a bad salad, drowned in dressing with cold fried mushrooms, anywhere. A “I’m sorry” was the response from the waitress. One point is still too many

Very good cocktails at affordable prices. Nice space inside or on the terrace in front of the Goeth statue.

We have often been to Alex for breakfast and today for brunch. It is always very busy and you should definitely reserve online. There are many hot and cold dishes. The salmon, the warm pretzels, the baked gnocchi, the pancakes and the dessert in a glass were particularly good. The coffee (not included in the price) also tasted very good. However, we missed warm vegetables and jams. Overall we were very satisfied and would like to come back.

I always enjoy being here. Great location, value for money for the food was very good.

Aperol was very less - especially for this price.

The Aperol costs €7.70 and was just a small sip in a large glass. Too bad.

During the shopping trip I looked for and found a nice restaurant. Plenty of seating outside or inside the restaurant. The menu offers a variety of dishes.

It wasn't really crowded. Nevertheless, there were long waiting times and people were overlooked for a while. What I found very disappointing was that the ice cream specialties didn't have real cream on them, but rather spray cream. The specially made lemonade was quite ok. The food was mediocre. I heard so many good things about Alex, but found that the quality was a bit worse when we visited.

We were there for breakfast. Standard and convenience products, nothing special, supermarket quality in my opinion. The clearing of the buffet began shortly before 12 p.m. even though it was advertised until 12 p.m. The waitress with the longer blonde hair pulled it out: warm, direct, friendly and very helpful, chapeau!

My visit to ALEX Restaurant in Leipzig was a pleasant experience, and the chicken teriyaki I ordered pleasantly surprised me. Instead of the usual rice side dish, the dish was served with crispy sweet potato fries, which was an exciting and modern twist. The combination of the tender chicken pieces and the spicy teriyaki sauce harmonized perfectly with the slightly sweet fries. The sweet potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - a great contrast to the strong sauce. Visually, the dish was also a highlight: the fresh herbs, sesame seeds and lime gave the whole thing a fresh, lively look that whetted the appetite. The light sauce over the fries added an extra creaminess without overpowering the dish. The ALEX also impresses with its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to spend time with friends or family. Although the restaurant can get a bit noisy at peak times, the quality of the food definitely made up for it. All in all, it was a creative and delicious twist on the classic chicken teriyaki that I thoroughly enjoyed. I can only recommend the ALEX Restaurant in Leipzig and will definitely come back!

The food was great. Unfortunately, the staff is a bit overwhelmed when there is good occupancy. Guests who arrived later had their drinks before us. Waiting time is to be expected.

Great ambience, very friendly staff, super delicious food and delicious homemade lemonades😋. We really enjoy going there even though it is always full.

Everything was good, except for the time from ordering the food to receiving it: +- 1 hour. However, the prices are not entirely cheap either. Burger with fries and it was just under €30.

Have been there for breakfast three times now. Always consistently very good quality. Great price-performance ratio. Simply great and very attentive service. Which is unfortunately not always understandable today. We'd love to come back.👍😀

Chicken salad is a joke. I'm sorry. I rarely write anything but this was ridiculous

Today we were at Alex in Leipzig. We were four people who had different tastes. Unfortunately, they were served differently “well”. One of our group had the schnitzel with mushrooms and fries. Unfortunately, she became very sick in the restaurant and vomited several times afterwards. She was embarrassed so she didn't tell the waitress. We all noticed that the restaurant was getting old. In many places it appears dirty and unkempt. It's a shame...such a "beautiful" location in the heart of Leipzig city center. We won't eat here again or anything like that...and we can't recommend the restaurant to anyone else. Take a look at the pictures we took and make your own decision.

War am frühen Nachmittag dort und habe draußen auf der Balustrade gesessen. Leider war es an diesem Tag extrem windig, dafür gab es eine schöne Aussicht. Lokal war sehr voll, aber Bedienung und Essen gab es trotzdem zügig. Essen und Getränk war geschmacklich beides völlig in Ordnung, preislich etwas zu hoch.

Very well designed, you pay and eat as much as you can. A large selection of food and it's very tasty. For smaller children, it is half price, which is great.

We actually wanted to visit another restaurant at the beginning of our visit to Leipzig, but it no longer exists. And: we looked for a great alternative :-) Food was very good, staff was very friendly, even though it was really busy. And since we're not on the run on vacation, a little bit of waiting was okay for us. We'll be back next time we visit Leipzig - thanks for two very nice afternoons :-) Update: were here again in 2024 and everything still tastes as good as last year. As usual, the service is very friendly, even though it's always busy. Greetings to Bianka with "K" who served us some glasses of your favorite beer ;-)

Service was good and friendly but the food for brunch wasn't that good and the drinks were overpriced.

We went to your restaurant for the breakfast buffet. The buffet and service are great. The selection and quality are simply outstanding. We were thrilled by the ambience. Unfortunately I also have two small points of criticism. Since we had a one-way journey of 200km, I called to reserve a table. Here I was told that the restaurant was fully booked but that the terrace would have seating when the weather was nice. So far so good, I clarified this with my companion and called again to reserve a place on the terrace. I was somewhat bluntly told on the phone that terrace seats would not be reserved. That's okay, but a little more friendliness on the phone would be desirable. We tried trd and were lucky that we were even able to get an inside seat. Here we come to the second point of criticism. The chairs inside are very wobbly, and other guests also noticed this. A quick repair would be desirable here as this is very annoying when eating. All in all it was a successful breakfast. Update 2 years later we ended up with you again. The buffet and service are still very good. I think it's a shame that the problem with the very wobbly chairs still hasn't been fixed. There would certainly have been enough time here in the 2 years, right?

Great location, in the middle of the city. From breakfast to dinner with cocktail...

A very nice restaurant. Especially the many outdoor spaces with parasols. The service staff were very attentive and nice. Unfortunately we didn't try any of the dishes, but from what we could see, everything looked very tasty. We only had a drink but the cocktails were very good.

Chic restaurant with good food, also vegan! Service was nice, prices ok,

We were there for Sunday brunch. A wide range of options, whether sweet or savory, something for everyone. Very courteous staff and the used dishes were cleared away very quickly. It's just a shame that coffee isn't included in the brunch. But we'd love to come back.

The two of us were in the Alex's outdoor restaurant on August 13, 2024. Great, friendly, attentive and courteous team. Keep it up. Thank you all. Gladly again. (Since we didn't eat anything, we can't say anything about the food)

Well located in the heart of Liepzig.

Large selection for a rich breakfast, hygiene is top, it is disinfected after each guest

We were there for a quick coffee and cake break. Coffee and cakes were delicious. But when we wanted to pay and leave, we had to wait for at least 20 minutes. All of the staff were busy and when we asked one of them, she said she is not responsible for the tables at our side. So we tried to find another non-busy employee. After we found one and asked for the bill, it took him 20 minutes to come to take payment. Long in short, if you are short on time, it might not be a good option.

I like being at Alex. There is something for everyone, it is clean, the staff is courteous and you don't have to wait long for your food. I'm also a fan of the breakfast buffet, although this has been increasingly reduced in recent years. The Alex is super solid, but doesn't have any big surprises. This is also reflected in the ambience of the restaurant. It's cozy and nice, but nothing special or modern. I think the staff is great. They are attentive and very child-friendly.

You have to be pretty undemanding to visit this inn. Already the unclean tables and smeared armchairs are not exactly inviting. The price-performance ratio is not at all consistent, especially when additives such as ketchup and mayonnaise are simply added to the bill for schnitzel dishes without informing you of the additional charges in advance. What's annoying is the flat rate of 2 euros tip, which is simply added to the bill. Pretty bold, in my opinion. Tipping should be left to the guest themselves. I advise every guest to work out in advance what they have to pay because, thank Greta, the bill is served paperless (you have to save paper). Simply dubious and has nothing to do with hospitality. In any case, I'm really annoyed about this visit today. 08/07/2024 - Additional review: As a result of my original review from July 30, 2024, the restaurant manager had a very positive, clarifying conversation. The service staff's misconduct was expressly disapproved and apologized for. The situation I have described is in no way part of common practice in this inn. The employee was held responsible with appropriate disciplinary consequences. During the conversation, I was clearly assured that the Alex Leipzig team's top priority every day is to provide good and satisfactory customer service with a good and attractive range of food and drinks. Corresponding contrary reviews also state this in the most recent one past proven. I assume this was a one-off offense by the service staff and accept the restaurant manager's sincere apology. In this context, I would like to thank you for the professional and satisfactory handling of my customer complaint. Best regards Frank Müller.
