Forsthaus Raschwitz in Markkleeberg

I've been to the forester's house several times for private celebrations. I can only rate the buffet menu and that was always great. I can't say anything bad about the service either. Parking is also available

We wanted to test the restaurant today for our big family celebration. The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and the food was okay, but the gentleman with glasses who served us didn't work at all. In a place like this I don't expect to be called by the staff, even though I asked him about it, he continued to call us and the comments he made were also very inappropriate and intrusive. Conclusion of the evening, thanks to the gentleman, our family celebration will not take place there.

We were there for the Christmas party. Very tasty food. Class service. We had fun.

Croquettes bone hard, after returning they were the same hard ones again, thanks for nothing 😅 otherwise ok

Top service, great ambience, very tasty food. They have really thought of everything, when you go to the toilet there is a small lift at the stairs. This means that even people with limited mobility can reach the location without any complications. Thank you very much for the great hospitality. Keep it up. We recommend you wholeheartedly. The girls from Berlin :)

The service staff were friendly and helpful. Everyone made a very nice impression and served us quickly. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that convincing. The pork knuckle was so dry that you could hardly eat it and the country beer sauce that came with it didn't taste like anything. The schnitzel was also quite dry and didn't look freshly prepared. The Twister fries were very hard. All in all, unfortunately disappointing, although the location and service were very good.

We ate our St. Martin's goose here this year. Thank you for your work.

The service is good and the food is good. I have to say that everyone has different tastes. Unfortunately they didn't meet mine.

Very nice decor with cozy Ambiance. The menu was varied and well coordinated. The food was delicious, served quickly and lovingly prepared.

Very nice atmosphere and delicious German cuisine.

Great ambience if you like classic German cuisine... the stylish and pleasant place

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere with courteous service.

Das Ambiente und die Gerichte waren sehr gut. Der Abend wäre jedoch ohne die unpassenden, anzüglichen und wirklich nicht witzigen Bemerkungen des Kellners, viel schöner gewesen.

All in all quite ok. Food was delicious and attractively prepared. The children's meal was also really nicely decorated and not so run of the mill. I found the toilets underground, especially the smells, everything disappears there. I also found the highly advertised playground on the property very questionable. Pretty run down, the seat board on the seesaw was half splintered away, the rungs to the slide were splintered, overall it just wasn't well cared for and attention was paid to it, which is why it is specifically advertised as "family friendly" on the homepage. Anyone who chooses a restaurant based on such criteria (opportunities for children to do) will probably be disappointed.

I called at 8:45pm and asked for a table (arriving 8:50pm). We were very kindly invited to come, even though the kitchen closes at 9 p.m. The service was friendly and accommodating; I had the feeling that, despite the time, they took all the time a guest could wish for. The food was very nicely prepared and tasty. We'd love to come back!

After 30 years, we as old connoisseurs and friends of the house The forester's house was used again for the first time on October 19, 2024 to take part in a golden wedding celebration. The wedding guests had different impressions of the decor. But the opinion was unanimous after eating the food namely - miserable. Not here again! Although different menus were ordered, none of the 12 guests were satisfied. On the contrary. Technically a disaster. Even the dishes didn't match the menus. The wedding dinner was sabotaged. What have they made of our “Forsti”.

Super nice people, I'd love to come back ☺️

Carving week. Everything was very tasty, service was really friendly. Ambiance is particularly cozy.

Food very salty, waited a long time to be served. Ambiance is nice, but very loud when it's full.

Even without pre-ordering, a table was found for us (4 people). Thank you for that. The staff was very friendly, the food was really good and the atmosphere was cozy. If we are in the area again, we will come back. (maybe better with a table reservation ;-))

Food was very good. Rooms weren't my thing, but you can talk about taste. Overall it's nice there.

Very friendly staff and a place to feel good. The food (salmon and pork medallions) were excellent. Prices are definitely reasonable. Highly recommended.

First visit to this restaurant by “newcomers” Read, planned, used & enjoyed! A very well-kept, beautiful old house. Food for every taste, freshly and lovingly prepared. Sufficient portions, 1 A quality, Prices justified. Very attentive and friendly service staff. We can only warmly recommend this restaurant and will be happy to come back. *****

When we are at Lake Cospuden, an evening in the forester's house is a must!

As a native of Leipzig, I have always wanted to visit this location because I have driven past it countless times. It exceeded my expectations. The food is very good, the waitress is fun and helps with good recommendations and professional knowledge. It's also very good that it's open all day from midday onwards, meaning you can eat at slightly unusual times. I'll try to stop by as often as I can instead of driving past.

I picked up two portions there via To good to Go... These two portions had the volume of four... In that regard, it was great... Always a pleasure...

A listed house with several rooms.

Thank you for the warm welcome, caring service and the excellent food. Kind regards to the kitchen, the ox cheeks, venison goulash and apricot dumplings were very tasty, cooked with love. We will remember you fondly and would be happy to come back. LG family Johne & dog Bruno

Es gab leckeres, deftiges Essen. Wir freuen uns über sehr freundliches, schnelles und kompetentes Personal! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We went to our favorite restaurant again and were not disappointed. Once again, extremely nice service, including communication😊, ambience and fantastic food gave us a wonderful evening. I had ox cheeks, simply delicious, as promised, very tender, all in all perfect. Portion and value for money are absolutely right for me. The same applies to the Kassler neck roast. We say thank you very much and will come back soon.😉

Beautiful beer garden under a wonderful canopy of trees. With self-service for drinks and ordering, the food is then brought out. The dishes were all very good. The playground is also great.

We were in the outdoor seating area, you have to bring your drinks to the table yourself and the food is brought to you. It was schnitzel week - each schnitzel was €14. It was super tasty and fun. A wonderful end to summer in September.

The beer garden is so beautiful. There is also a playground for children. September 22nd, 2024 last beer garden day of the year there.

A very nice restaurant with a great ambience, good food and very friendly service!

The service staff was very unfriendly and rude. The food, well, you can eat it, but the portion size and the quality are not appropriate for this price.

Staff Unfriendly Food rock hard and the portion is very small for the price

The waiter was very unfriendly and rude. There is no relationship between price and performance.

We have been here again for a long time. It was just a disappointment. The food wasn't freshly cooked, but it was way too expensive. The salmon was old and dry, simply inedible. Individual components on other plates were cold or the plates were hotter than the food on them. The service employee tried hard and had a well-rehearsed justification for everything, which I promptly rewarded with an unreasonably large tip. It's a shame about this beautiful house but we won't be coming back.

There is a nice parking lot, friendly staff and good, traditional food. What more could you want?

We stayed at the Völkerschlacht guesthouse in K.-Wachau (great) and were on our way through. We discovered the restaurant by chance and were lucky, Wednesday is schnitzel day. Very, very tasty and a large portion, unfortunately there was no room for dessert. Service excellent. Highly recommended.

Quite nice. Gnocchi with basil pesto was very monotonous in taste and overall too well done, but the focus here is clearly not on vegetarian dishes and it was also quite full.

Today's visit to the beer garden: The location itself is nice, only half full. Male waiter at the drinks station makes judgmental comments about the order, e.g. ordered cola is referred to as “G*ft”, cyclist with “I thought you were a man”. The older gentleman in front of me was completely perplexed by this. In addition, the waiting time for the food was >45 minutes, which was also disappointing. Can't understand the other reviews, won't be coming back. The waiter in question is damaging business!

Very nice old style restaurant. Very clean and tidy and the design in general is pleasing to the eye. The service was great and the waiters were extremely friendly and attentive and paid great attention to our well-being. The food was also perfect, the meat was tender, the sauce had a strong flavor but wasn't too spicy and it was well prepared. If you don't manage to eat the whole portion, you can easily have it packed up to take away. The only thing that was unfortunately very annoying were the flies and wasps that were constantly sitting on the food (we were sitting inside the house), so it was best to sit further behind the restaurant. But all in all it was a great experience for the whole family, thanks to the entire team❤️

Well, I can't make a recommendation. The kitchen cannot convince with its offering, although the menu is very clear and one gets the impression that a small selection of dishes is combined with high quality. Almost absurd when you think about how long the house has been in business. There was no running water at the sink in the men's toilet - I've never experienced that before. The service is good. All employees are honestly trying (restaurant).

Almost no vegetarian options. There was a quite expensive salad with parmesan...we also paid for the meat side dish we chose.

Delicious, friendly and affordable

The restaurant actually makes a very good impression. We ate outside in the beer garden. The map is clear. Unfortunately, two of the dishes we requested were sold out. - How can tarte flambée be sold out? - You order at a pavilion. The food is brought to the table after some time. The currywurst was lukewarm. There could have been more meat on the duck burger. The prices were a bit high overall. There is a parking lot across the street.

Nice restaurant, a little out of the way with a beer garden and a wonderful ambience. Food & service were good.

We were a little disappointed Only self-service in the beer garden and only one specialist with assistants in the restaurant is simply not enough. The operator should take care of things personally. I had heard it from others and didn't want to believe it.

Very tasty, not overpriced and a super nice waitress who gave her all despite severe hay fever. She definitely liked her job!

Were there for a friend's birthday dinner. Upon request (with prior reservation) a birthday table was to be set up, which unfortunately did not stand out visually much from the rest of the tables and, according to hearsay from my acquaintances, a small fee was even charged for this, which I find really unpleasant, a weak one Performance represents the result and was therefore a cross-sectional topic of conversation at the table... It should be in the restaurant's interest to attract such high-spending groups, after all, that brings in sales. The menu was very manageable, which usually means that the dishes selected are top class given the size of this restaurant, but the food was just better average. Don't get me wrong, it's tasty, but it's not an extraordinary culinary event either. (For example, the adjoining garden canteen of our KGV with a comparable interior for less money made far more effort to please the guests and the plates were also fuller, but that was just a subjective, casual comment.) The waiter, who mainly served us, tried to make funny jokes and sayings, which not everyone liked, but hey... (As we all know, humor varies greatly, so I don't take a hard view of it) ... but when you notice that all the other guests who arrive are greeted with exactly the same phrases, it somehow no longer has any charm. Of course it is difficult to be creative in the long term, but the core competence should actually be, for example, preparing the restaurant, beautiful tables or birthday tables 😜as well as satisfying the guests as best as possible (as a waiter) and not cabaret. In summary, a location that had a good reputation with us, especially through word of mouth, but is now eating away at it and is unfortunately inferior to it. As to whether this facility is really recommendable, apart from a visit to the beer garden, I would rate it as neutral at best. You can do it, but you don't have to (anymore). Nevertheless, I wish the restaurant and its guests all the best and a pleasant stay. 🍀We're looking forward to a nice cold bowl of hops again by Men's Day, where our bike tour typically runs along your beer garden. 😜👍

Vielen Dank es war gestern ein geschmackvoller und freundlicher Service im Forsthaus Raschwitz zur Geburtstagsfeier. Heisse Teller, Futter ist ehrlich und schmeckt, der Service ist zu empfehlen! Rundum eine schöne Zeit in diesem schönen Restaurant genossen.

Unfortunately disappointing, you wait forever until the food comes (about 1 hour) and then some of it is cold. Knuckle too dry and far too little sauce. Burger was cold, ragout fin was too mixed and the dark cellar beer was watery. Unfortunately the outdoor area was not prepared either. When we sat down, the table was quickly wiped down and then someone started sweeping. He kicked up so much dust that we asked him to stop. I think you have to do something like that before you open and guests come. The prices are also very reasonable, but the food and ambience should be right, otherwise you won't come back. Very unfortunate!!!

I would like to tell everyone else who is interested about my visit today (August 18, 2024 lunch). Particularly noteworthy is Ms. Wendt, who mainly served us at the table. Very friendly, careful, comes to the table at just the right distance to ask for new requests. Regarding the other points: - I think it's a bit stupid that there are different service staff, one brings drinks, the other brings the food, someone else for dessert, etc. In total we probably had 4 or 5 different service staff - a main course was almost completely forgotten, the waitress who brought the food must have noticed that someone didn't have any food yet, and it was only brought when they asked - Food itself was good but not phenomenal, I had the deer goulash and the chanterelle soup, soup was ok, unfortunately a bit too much pepper, I looked in vain for a few real pieces of chanterelles - I'm not a fan of pureed soups - deer goulash in a deep plate Personally, I find it a bit unfortunate because everything just sort of falls together On the whole it was ok but generally I have to say that things have deteriorated a bit in the forester's house over the years. No properly set tables - no tablecloth, just placemats, cutlery not polished with lots of water stains There was also a male service member on duty today who was simply unpleasant. Perhaps interesting for the management, as far as I could see there were 2 gentlemen on duty. One with a bald head and the other with no hair. The gentleman with hair was the unpleasant one. He came up with some pointless comment about feminism and was just generally a bit arrogant and over the top. An 80-year-old lady was referred to casually (I personally find it inappropriate in this restaurant) Additionally, we came back to the restaurant from a short smoking break and the unpleasant gentleman, who had been at our table several times, asked us if we already had a table. Yes, it doesn't have to be that way. I have to say, I would come back again and try the beer garden and the schnitzel Wednesday but overall it is not my next stop when the next family meal comes up.

Good, tasty food, friendly service, it's just a shame that the kids got their food last. Otherwise I'd be happy to come back at any time.😊👍

Unfortunately, the food was (repeatedly) unconvincing, schnitzel, for schnitzel week, did not seem freshly prepared, side dishes placed carelessly on the plate. Service, on the other hand, was very good...nice, fast, entertaining, that's it! The atmosphere in the beer garden is great!

The food could come a little earlier. An hour and a half later is a bit long. Otherwise everything was very tasty. Gladly again.

Rustic chic, very nice atmosphere. Very nice service, fair prices for the generous portions, unfortunately the weather was too bad for outdoor seating

Good home-style food with a surprisingly varied but consistent menu. Service was ok, even if we were forbidden to sit outside due to an announced rain break (no rain came during our visit). The food took a long time, despite there being fewer guests, and tasted okay, but not phenomenal either. However, the cleanliness is definitely worth mentioning. Cobwebs in the corners, on the ceilings, dead insects on the window sills and shelves in the toilet areas that had not been cleaned for a long time made our visit a unique one.

Unfriendly Eastern European service with black hair. As always, the food was great and nothing was missing. Unfortunately, the reception made the hunger go away a bit.

Nice restaurant. Food was good. Unfortunately we had to wait over 90 minutes for the food. We had reserved.

Everything was great, gladly again.

Une carte originale Des plats soignés Un service attentif La qualité gustative est bonne mais sans plus. Schnitzel et frites trop cuit, joue de sanglier bonne mais sans âme. Nous avons attendu plus de une heure pour voir arriver le premier plat. Il faut réorganiser la cuisine.

Yesterday we went to the Raschwitz forester's lodge with great anticipation, attracted by the attractive website that made us want to visit. But unfortunately the high expectations were followed by great disappointment. **Conclusion: Unfortunately not recommended.** The chanterelle soup was tasteless and offered no culinary surprises. The plates of the main course were hot when served, but the temperature of the food left a lot to be desired. What was particularly disappointing was that both the schnitzel and the röstis gave the impression that they came from the freezer and were not freshly prepared. The service left a mixed impression. While some employees were friendly, others seemed overwhelmed and didn't remember our orders afterwards. This led to unnecessary confusion and extended waiting times. Overall, the Forsthaus Raschwitz unfortunately presented itself as more than mere appearance, without the corresponding culinary or service-related essence. It's a shame, it was our first and last time there!

We were there twice, once in the beer garden (Wednesday) and once in the restaurant (Saturday). On that Wednesday the food was “okay”. Long waiting times including standing in line for drinks and food orders that you have to do yourself at the pavilion. Today we went into the restaurant, there were a few tables free. We waited more than 45 minutes for the food, and when we asked how long it would take, the response from the kitchen was simply forgotten. When I said "let's go again" I felt flippant/arrogant/sarcastic?! replied that 45 waiting times wouldn't be long with an expression of "what do you expect on a Saturday?!". On a Saturday, I expect that a restaurant that has been around for such a long time and has been established has enough staff to serve the guests in a reasonable time depending on their available seats and, in particular, no flippant/arrogant answers, because the service staff there is certainly no better than its guests Without the guests there wouldn't even be any jobs. Definitely not a recommendation!

Very friendly service. Cozy outdoor seating, beautiful beer garden

Wednesday is always schnitzel day. Super tasty for €14. The beer garden is particularly recommended.

A beer garden that invites you to have fun. Good beer, cool service and quiet despite being on the main street..👍Any time again..👌👍

The waiter was too pushy, but it worked.

Hi everyone, I can only rate the beer garden. This was absolutely okay but it just needs a little more intensive care. Unfortunately, the playground is already pretty worn out but still functional. Despite it not being busy on a Thursday, the service wasn't quite as good. It was self-service and there were clear instructions from the staff on how to do what. The duck burger that we were so looking forward to was unfortunately only given a grade of 4. All in all, I wouldn't necessarily want to visit the beer garden again. However, according to friends, the indoor restaurant is said to be very, very good. Everything from the service to the food was said to be perfect. Conclusion: Try it out and see for yourself. Best regards Marco

Lives up to its name. If you like game, you've come to the right place and a secret tip: on Wednesdays there are schnitzel dishes here for 15 euros. Where else is that available?

Am 30.6. waren wir seit längerer Zeit mal wieder im kleinen Familienkreis zum Abendessen im Forsthaus Raschwitz und wurden von Chris sehr nett bedient. Die Schweinebäckchen sowie Gnocchi und ein kleiner Salat schmeckten sehr gut, auch mit der Weinauswahl und dem gepflegten Ambiente des Gastraumes waren wir sehr zufrieden, so dass wir gern mal wieder einkehren werden.

Attentive service, a great Tafelspitz and a delicious cellar beer on tap. Simply recommended.

As always, very good. Tried the knuckle today, great too!

We were there for the second time yesterday. We were in the restaurant for the first time in winter and enjoyed the schnitzel day. Everything was top notch throughout. So we thought, let's try the duck burger in the beer garden. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. It started with the service staff telling us exactly what we had to clear away and where exactly we had to put the dishes at the end. (We hadn't even ordered yet) The beer garden itself is great, with the playground also ideal for kids. However, the prices for drinks are steep, especially the non-alcoholic drinks, a large barrel of soda for €5.20? The three duck burgers we ordered were very disappointing in terms of taste, absolutely no culinary highlight, the decorated rocket was partly already dried out or about to dry out, for just under €19 I expect more. The children's menu, fried fish with mashed potatoes, was sobering. The fried fish was so pale, as if it had come from the freezer without having been put in the oven. The whole thing was also decorated with dried rocket. The ice cream was positive at the end. For €1.50 you get a lovingly decorated ball in a cup. All in all, more emphasis should be placed on the preparation of the food and its quality. It was probably the last time for us, what a shame!

Ich war zum ersten mal mit Kollegen hier im Restaurant und war hell auf begeistert. Hier stimmte alles vom Service bis zum Nachtisch haben wir einen wunderschönen Abend hier verbracht. Ich persönlich hatte ein Schnitzel gegessen und einen Nachtisch und war sehr begeistert von der Zubereitung und der Liebe zum Detail, egal ob geschäftlich, mit dem Partner/Familie oder für Feiern oder auch mit Kindern, kann ich das Forsthaus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Absolutely recommended restaurant. In this case with a focus on the beer garden. Pleasant and very cozy, despite being close to the connecting road to Leipzig. Food in the beer garden is rather rustic but doesn't detract from the cosiness. Prices are not a bargain but okay. If you're lucky, drivers will get a space right in front of the house. Service was extremely nice and careful

If you're in the area, it's a must to stop at the forester's house beer garden and enjoy at least one “Försti”. The location is inviting and offers sun or shade depending on your preference. The service is super nice, very accommodating and quick. In short: you can endure it here for a while.

historic restaurant; Nice and friendly service; Gladly again

Expensive, food wasn't that good.

We were there again after a whopping twelve years and were very positively surprised. Everything worked out for us. Service from the two gentlemen was very good and a relaxed atmosphere with a smile on their faces. They like doing it and you could tell. After a long wait, the food was also very good. There are a few bones in the zander fillet, but that's why it's fish. Nicely prepared food, even for small children, which came quickly. The only thing I would have imagined was nicer was the dessert. :) Ambience nice, toilets very clean, which is always a small indicator. Another indicator: the menu is not too large. Free parking spaces available. There's even takeaway food available. Great, keep it up, we will come back. :) Edit: We weren't disappointed again. 🙂

I've heard a lot about the forester's lodge and have driven past it many times. Today the time had come and we ate there. There was Hamburger Schnitzel, which was really good overall. When we ate two of our meals, the potatoes seemed dried out. It's a bit of a shame that small flies came out of the flowers, which were annoying while eating. It would be nice if that was fixed.

Service great, food good average

There's nothing wrong with it. The food is excellent and the ambience is right.

Great place to eat with children. (Beer garden with playground.) The food was great, the dessert was very tasty. Thanks

At our family celebration we were served very well and felt comfortable.

Solid good food, it was tasty. Unfortunately there was little vegetarian food, not even a vegetarian salad. Selection for children is ok. Friendly, if sometimes overwhelmed, service.

We had Wiener Schnitzel that was inedible, greasy and partly dried out, the salad was soggy, as if it had been in the kitchen since morning, the fries were soggy! Not appropriate for 25 euros per meal and really disappointing. Service good.

I imagined visiting the beer garden on May 1st differently. The tables weren't wiped down, there weren't any drinks that were on the menu, the faucet in the toilet was broken, the wrong food was brought twice (after we'd already waited over an hour anyway), and the food wasn't great either (chicken was dry and overall the food was tasteless and overpriced). The service staff tried hard, but couldn't save the bad mood. It's a shame, because the beer garden itself is really nice to sit in.

Die Umgebung außerhalb des Restaurants ist viel besser, denn es ist heller. Der Service ist freundlich und schnell. Ich selber bin kein Sternekoch,aber das essen war nur ein Stern wert. Ich hatte mit meiner Frau Hirsch Wildraten. Die Klöße zu fest wie Tennisbälle die Soße viel zu wenig genau so das Blaukraut. Ich habe früher im Max Plank Institut gearbeitet in der Cafeteria und dort habe ich Positiv Bewertungen bekommen. Das nächste Mal muss ich mir in der früheren Parkgaststätte einen Tisch nehmen. Im Forsthaus Raschwitz steckt viel Arbeit drin. Viel Glück.

Not a lot of choice when it comes to food. If you can eat schnitzel, it's okay. Ambiance is good. Unfortunately, the outdoor space is on the main street. Service was very good.

friendly, quick service. Delicious seasoned veal and the sauerbraten of venison was also great 😋

Well, the food is more reminiscent of an upscale snack bar. A bit meager for this money.

Great restaurant, wonderful ambience

We actually discovered the restaurant through a Groupon voucher and were very positively surprised. The food was very tasty, the portions were more than sufficient. Especially the dessert, Quarkkeulchen, was a great ending. Even the journey from Colditz is worth it. We'd love to come back. One final note - even guests with limited mobility are catered for. There is a lift to reach the toilets in the basement.

I was in the forester's lodge for the first time last weekend. The food was great. The waiter was super friendly, the atmosphere was very pleasant. Clear recommendation.

We went to a birthday party at the Forsthaus Raschwitz today and were completely satisfied. The service was great and everyone enjoyed it very much. We'll definitely be back!

Well we didn't have much luck with the service that day, otherwise it was okay

Great inn! Very good schnitzels and the menu also has a lot to offer. We sat in the beautiful beer garden and enjoyed the very friendly service. Highly Recommended!

A very nice atmosphere, where the service was friendly and with a little fun... and the food was also very tasty... and it's always worth a visit. Thanks to the staff and kitchen.
