Bistro in Leipzig

This restaurant is highly recommended. Even the soup was delicious.

I've never experienced worse and more unpleasant bartenders than at Buben. A bar like this stands or falls with its bartenders, and whoever came up with the idea of ​​hiring those two guys shouldn't be surprised if the place is no longer doing well. It's a real shame; two years ago, it was my favorite bar.

This place was ridiculously expensive. The employees thought it would be better not to work at all, because I easily stood there for 10 minutes for my €9.50. The ice cream tasted decent, but not for such an exorbitant price.

Unfortunately, the service during the meal was absolutely outrageous. At the beginning, they asked whether you wanted meat, fish, or vegetarian. However, for the main course, I, as a non-fish eater, was served meat and fish in my bowl, while a friend, as a non-meat eater, was served meat but no fish. The last time I ate fish, I immediately vomited – so the mistake wasn't funny. When we reported it to the service staff, there was no apology, just a comment that they would "correct" it. The two bowls were secretly rearranged and swapped by hand in the kitchen, so I got my friend's bowl and she got mine, although some meat was still fished out here and there. Leftover food, such as pepperoni stems, were still part of the bowl. A disgrace for such a fancy-as-nails restaurant with a menu price of €90 without drinks. Food safety aside, the way they handle their own mistake is absolutely unacceptable and unworthy of a restaurant. Every bistro around the corner has better error management.
