IMPERII in Leipzig

Very nice bar and restaurant with exceptionally friendly service. The unique selling point here is the cocktails, or more precisely the creative presentation of them. The almost non-existent curfew outside allowed orders to be placed until shortly before 1 a.m. Unthinkable here in Munich. Prices are not low for Leipzig, but are definitely justified here. On our favorites list for the next visit to Leipzig.

Boy, I've rarely eaten so well. awesome cocktails. but also had a separate area with its own waiter and larger menu etc

I recently visited Imperii Leipzig for dinner and had a generally enjoyable experience. The place itself is nicely decorated, creating a stylish and modern ambiance. The staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure we had a good time. The food was also a highlight, with each dish tasting great and showing attention to quality and presentation. However, it’s important to note that Imperii leans more towards a bar atmosphere, which means it’s quite lively and can get loud. If you’re looking for a quiet place to focus on your meal and conversation, this might not be the best setting. That said, if you’re in the mood for tasty food and a vibrant, energetic environment, Imperii is a solid choice. Ideal for those who want to enjoy a meal amidst the buzz of a lively bar scene.

Very good food in a nice setting with friendly service.

Limited menu but very good quality of food. Good service but quite high prices.

The cocktails are awesome. The taste and presentation are spectacular!

I often come from Brussels to Leipzig and it is inconceivable not to come and taste a very good cocktail made by professionals.

My first choice when it comes to spending a great evening. Excellent food, great service and an outstanding selection of drinks.

Great ambience, delicious food and super nice staff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice location, very good service. Pricing on the high end.

Impeccable service and food. We had a few plates to share. Would recommend the garlic prawns and Japanese cabbage pancake and the fish was delicious. Couldn’t fault anything and the service was great. The waitresses spoke English and gave us a menu in English.

Wir waren heute als Familie unterwegs. Das leckere Essen und die tollen Cocktails wurden gepaart mit einer sehr guten und aufmerksamen Servicequalität. Für unseren 5jährigen gab es extra weniger Gewürze und zwei unterschiedliche Brotvarianten. Habt vielen Dank, es war ein schönes Geburtstagsessen. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Im Imperii gibt es nicht nur sehr eine aufmerksame Bedienung sondern auch tolle Drinks, es ist etwas laut aufgrund der Räumlichkeit. Aber was herausragend ist ….das Essen ist Spitzenklasse, ich hatte heute Kabeljau, besser kann man nicht kochen. Große Klasse und Vielen Dank.

Everything was easy and we just drank something and next time we'll try the food. Staff very friendly and relaxed. That's fun

Super friendly staff. The food was delicious, the salmon in the batter was a bit dry but the fries were very nice. Unfortunately there was a strange crowd outside. We'll still come back.

Very stylish bar, delicious cocktails which are sensationally prepared and taste great. Currywurst with fries is also highly recommended as a snack. A visit here is very worthwhile.

Absolute Lifestyle Bar. A manageable menu but super tasty 😋

Tasty cocktail with beautiful cup and good service . It was really a nice experience to get inside and have a try. No wonder it is the Top 50 bars in Germany.

Cocktails were very tasty. We were able to come by unannounced with a large group and got a great spot.

I really liked it. The exceptional drinks were surprisingly tasty, service was top. However, it is rather expensive, but the quality is good.

Delicious and unusual cocktails

Great concept. Small but nice card. Absolutely worth recommending.

Ok, but nothing special. Probably aimed more at a younger clientele. I didn't like the atmosphere, it was a tiring sound, probably because it was a Saturday. Was here a few times now 2 years later and completely revised my first impression. Service super nice and competent. Drinks and food really first class. The audience was pleasantly mixed and there was no annoying boom-bum music this time :-)

Great place with delicious drinks and fantastic food. Had a lovely family celebration there yesterday. If you visit Leipzig then always go to Imperii. We will be back.

The cocktails were the best! The service was too dry and unaccommodating for me personally… The food was good but nothing spectacular! I would definitely come back, have a drink and a snack ❣️ Lovely bar area btw

Absolutely delicious food and great cocktails! The atmosphere is modern and cozy. The waiters are very friendly and know what they are talking about! We'll definitely be back! Thank you Imperii team!

This spot is great if you appreciate creative & unique artistic presentation of drinks and meals. Relaxed and at the same time First class service by Fleurien

Excellent cocktails in creative vessels. From a bathtub with a rubber duck to a takeout box for Chinese food, everything has to be taken into account. The atmosphere is slightly upscale. There is very quiet music playing in the background. You can have a very good time. You can also sit comfortably at the bar.

There were two of us there and we had a delicious dinner. We had the gnocci with asparagus. There was also very tasty wine in a great atmosphere. The service was very nice and gave us great advice. We would love to come back!! An absolute recommendation

Very tasty and exceptional food and friendly, expert service. Plus a very creative cocktail selection. That was a wonderful evening.

Beautiful bar with delicious and unusual drinks. The service was very, very nice and accommodating.

I was passing through with a friend and we were looking for a place in the area for something to eat and a few drinks. Based on the recommendation and photos of the offer, we quickly decided on the IMPERII. When we arrived on site we were given a table. The choice was a beef tartare. Unfortunately the pieces of meat were very large and frozen inside. Funnily enough, there were also tendons on many of the pieces. The tartare was very mustardy and there was only half a slice of bread for 200g of tartare. According to the service person there was no more in the kitchen. I ate half of it. Food was cleared away. The red wine was also served relatively cool. I described the problems with the tartar. The bill still came in full. It's a shame because the menu and drinks list made a very interesting impression. Maybe yesterday was an exception.

Derrière l'opéra , la belle façade annonce un intérieur contemporain et soigné . Des tables éclairées individuellement ,une déco soignée , carte équilibrée , possibilité de se restaurer . Un bel endroit

It was perfect all around. We sat outside and were served very friendly and competently. What I liked best were the descriptions of the drinks in the drink menus. You can't decide, the selection here is so good! The food (the “bar snacks”) was also very tasty. We had the mixed Japanese platter. The cocktails are exceptional too! Definitely try it!

The ambience and service were very good, but the food was really outstanding. We had the Icelandic cod which emotionally sent us straight back to our Iceland vacation. A perfect combination of herbs and spices. The cocktails and the appropriate explanations from the staff were very imaginative and delicious.

Delicious food, great cocktails, great service.

From the ambience to the cuisine to the cocktails, just a big compliment and a thank you to the people who still live their profession with such passion and who allow guests to experience this. Here you simply know what you are paying for and it is definitely worth a visit.

When "tradition" has to give way to modernity... We had two cocktails there, but were rather disappointed. The Mai Tai we ordered was very watered down. The mojito was made with white sugar. The decoration is dried fruit, which looks great, but should be served in a bowl as a potpourri... Since my companion is VERY knowledgeable about preparing cocktails, our enthusiasm was limited.

Delicious food, very attentive service

Great creative cuisine, including Japanese okonomiyaki, which is rarely available in Germany. But the cocktail creations are also worth a visit. Gladly again!

Very tasty food & a chic, cozy location with lovely staff. We will be back!

A really fancy bar to have food and drinks that are also made so professionaly and so delicious,tasty.if you want to try something different for your date this place most be tried.

For all those who appreciate high-quality spirits and are open to taste sensations...the bartender was also wonderful

Great drinks, very tasty and exceptional food and friendly, expert service. That was a wonderful evening.

We had one cocktail each and were both not impressed. I wasn’t horrible but also not really great. We found it difficult to understand from the menu what was in teh cocktails and there wasn‘t a lot of explanation from the waiter. Although I was recommended a crowd pleaser, I thought it tasted like nothing much in particular (maybe thats why it pleases the crowds?) with a light scent of raw egg that I found offputting. Also my partner’s cocktail tasted fine but nothing special. Maybe we chose the wrong drinks and the bar is really central, so if you don‘t want to venture far, it might be worth a shot, but we won‘t be returning.

For us, the best cocktail bar in the city with classics and creative creations on the menu, which are mixed with selected (organic) ingredients and our own products with a lot of know-how. Courteous, friendly staff with personal charm without being intrusive. Atmosphere is nice, dark and dignified and, above all, smoke-free in the main guest room / extra smoking lounge (unfortunately too rare in Leipzig, so worth mentioning). Unfortunately the upper part is a bit secluded and without a view of the bar. The food was creative but definitely had more room for improvement than the cocktails. Reservations make sense - but also to have spontaneous bar seats for a cocktail.

Ich kann an dieser Stelle nur die Cocktails bewerten, diese waren Außergewöhnlich, fancy und etwas speziell. Der Service war sehr freundlich und engagiert, mein ausdrückliches Lob! Nichts für jeden Tag, aber mit Sicherheit ein besonderes Erlebnis.

You will be greeted very friendly and given advice. The atmosphere and audience is very mixed, from young to older. Very pleasant. Very unusual individual card. The surprise factor is guaranteed and at great prices that are not out of the ordinary. Unfortunately we were only in Leipzig for one night, otherwise it would almost become a new regular bar. Thumbs up 👍🏼

Just drinking was enough. Everything great.

Good selection of drinks in a suitable atmosphere. A good choice whether with friends, family or your partner.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the food because I didn't eat anything. The bar is absolutely great. Cocktails are great and there is nothing negative to say about the price-performance ratio. Recommendation: reserve in good time otherwise you may be unlucky and not get a seat

Aperol weak and with 6 ice cubes... There wasn't much left

We were just there to have a cocktail. The place directly at the bar is highly recommended. You can (in our case) watch the bartender at work and get interesting tips and facts about the drinks. The cocktails were super tasty.

Top drinks, but the service is too bad for three employees standing behind the counter...

The names of the drinks are very creative, as are the ingredients and flavors, but sometimes they don't harmonize with each other. Unfortunately service was catastrophic. First round cocktails 25 minutes. Second lap 15 minutes, 1 glass of tap water for the driver 12 minutes with another request. Shop was normally full. Service was very nice in contact, and also more attentive afterwards. Overall, it is questionable whether this does justice to the best bar in Germany.

The service is impeccable and fast. The drinks were absolutely amazing and the staff are even better. Highly recommend.

Unschlagbar, was die Qualität der Getränke und Speisen angeht 🥰Service top, eloquent und hilfsbereit bei der Getränkeauswahl. Freue mich auf meinen nächsten Besuch. Danke schon mal

Eine empfehlenswerte Cocktailbar im Zentrum der Innenstadt. Üblicherweise gut besucht, daher ist eine Reservierung empfohlen. Leider ist der Gastraum recht "laut".

Unsere Lieblingsbar! Super kreative Cocktails, unvergessliche Abende und sympathische Menschen! Wir kommen immer gerne wieder!

Die Cocktails waren wieder traumhaft. Für jeden ist was dabei und wenn man sich nicht entscheiden kann, dann findet der Service den passenden Cocktail 🍸😃.

Charmante und humorvolle Gastgeberin! Umsichtiger Service! Sehr geschmackvoll, sehr lecker gekocht! Wenn wir wieder nach Leipzig kommen, werden wir dich wieder besuchen Sigunde. Lieben Dank für den humorvollen Abend

Hervorragende, kreative und besondere Cocktails. Die Auswahl ist sehr groß und absolut spannend. Ich hätte gerne noch viel mehr probiert, dafür muss ich wohl wiederkommen. Ich kann die Bar nur wärmstens empfehlen - absolute Klasse

Sehr coole Bar mit genialen und ausgefallenen Drinks! Sowohl Qualität, als auch Kreativität und Präsentation spielen hier eine wichtige Rolle. Für uns eine klare Sache - diese Bar kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen, hier hat sich jemand wirklich Gedanken gemacht über Cocktails und das merkt man. Gerechtfertigte Preise und nicht zu abgehoben. Toll!

Schönes Lokal und tolles Ambiente. Das Essen war sehr lecker und dazu habe ich eine Cocktailempfehlung probiert, die auch sehr gut war (irgendwas mit Whisky und Absinth - super!!!). Kann man auf jeden Fall machen.

Sehr besondere Cocktail Bar mit ausgefallene Cocktails, sowohl im Geschmack als auch die Darreichung. Sehr nettes Ambiente und super freundliche Bedienung, die geduldig alles erklärt hat und je nach Geschmack gute Empfehlungen hatte. Preise etwas höher aber definitiv gerechtfertigt.

Eine tolle Bar in gehobener Preiskategorie. Das Personal sehr umsichtig,freundlich und geduldig. Die Cocktails lecker,aber auch experimentell. Essensauswahl nicht so groß und auch höherpreisig.

Freitag im Imperii - hervorragender Service, leckere Drinks. Last but not least - großartiges Essen - dafür sechs von fünf möglichen Sternen. Super Abend! Kommen gerne wieder vorbei.

Ich hatte mich so drauf gefreut, aber dann war es zu mitten in der Woche wegen einer außer Haus Veranstaltung

Wonderful place. Great mixture of cocktails. Tasty food. Very friendly.

Ein Spontanbesuch im IMPERII, der mich begeistert hat. Zuerst fällt das gemütliche und ruhige Ambiente auf. Tolle, aufmerksame und sympathische Servicekräfte nehmen die Wünsche auf und beraten zur Auswahl. Dazu fand ich die Details zu den raffinierten Gewürzen bei der Brot-Vorspeise klasse. Mir gefiel, dass die Menükarte nicht überladen war. Die Gerichte sind eher ausgefallenen auf einem höherem Preisniveau. Geschmacklich war Pasta aus Sardinien ein Genuss. Für den großen Hunger reicht diese Portionsgröße jedoch nicht. Eine weitere Stärke ist auch die Auswahl und Kompetenz rund um Cocktails.

Zentral gelegen, die Auswahl an traditionellen und außergewöhnlichen Cocktails ist groß und ausgezeichnet. Die Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam. Die Vorspeisen die wir zu den Drinks bestellt haben waren unglaublich lecker. Man kann draußen gemütlich sitzen.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Auszeichnung.🥳 habt ihr mehr als verdient.✌️

Ein schickes und entspanntes Lokal. Hier lohnt es sich auf ein leckeren Cocktail hin zu gehen.

Love the place, camu cocktail was absolutely awesome, but got food poison after eating mushrooms risotto 😔

Schokolade 4 love: Ein Perfekter Abschluss eines gelungenen Abends. Schönes Ambiente, freundlicher Service, gutes Essen zu angemessenem Preis

Wieder in Leipzig, wieder im Imperii. Wieder ein schöner Abend! Wieder ein 5er. Der Black Forrest Punch ist ... lecker! Nur an der Bierkultur sollte noch gearbeitet werden: die Gläser spülen damit die Schaumkrone nicht zusammenfällt, nicht aus einem abgestandenem Glas einschenken damit es schneller geht und alles wäre gut. Aber ins Imperii geht man schließlich wegen der Cocktails! Tolle Bedienung, interessante Cocktails! Wirklich wohltuend eine Bedienung zu haben die in der Lage ist die Gäste zu beraten! Die Akustik im Raum geht leider in Richtung Bahnhofshalle und die Musik ist total unpassend. ( wobei Musik natürlich geschmackssache ist, aber "bum bum jaul" zu Spitzencocktails passt halt nicht). Trotzdem ein "Fünfer"

Ich habe meine Geburtstag 🎂 hier gefeiert... Von der Lokaiton über Service und Essen war es SPITZE⚘️🥂⚘️

Sehr aufmerksame Kellnerin, fantastisches Essen und schöne Atmosphäre. Super flexibel dazu. Das einzige was leider dort keine Rolle spielt ist die Auswahl von einem Musikgenre sondern es läuft eher poppige Radiomusik die man überall hört.

Very tasty cocktails, the bartender was super professional and the mixing process was super cool!

Absolutely fantastic! There was not one thing we ate that wasn’t delicious, every single detail was taken care of, to make delicious dishes. The cocktails were delicious and super fun. The place is cool, with good soft music. The service was just so friendly and attentive. It’s worth the price you pay. We’ll for sure be coming back!

Ich war vor Kurzem mit meiner besten Freundin dort zu Besuch und wir waren leider etwas enttäuscht. Das Essen war mega, allerdings könnte bei den Preisen die Portion etwas größer sein. Ich hatte einen alkoholfreien Cocktail, der einfach viel zu teuer war für das was man dafür bekommen hat. Das waren maximal 3-4 Schlücke und geschmeckt hat er ebenfalls nicht soo gut. Da hätte man sich einfach ein Glas Saft bestellen sollen und hätte mehr davon gehabt. Die Bedienung war zwar sehr freundlich, allerdings viel zu langsam. Wir haben Ewigkeiten auf unsere Getränke warten müssen und wir hatten lediglich Wasser und einen alkoholfreien Cocktail zu Beginn. Ich würde nicht nochmal herkommen, da das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis einfach nicht zu 100% gestimmt hat.

Warten nach dem Essen auf einen Cocktail im Imperii und wurden sehr gut beraten und die Cocktails waren top!

Der freundliche Service und die außergewöhnliche Speisenauswahl haben unseren Abend wirklich zu etwas Besonderem gemacht. Die geschmackliche Vielfalt der Speisen hat uns beeindruckt und wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Abend. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Leckere Cocktails und netter Service. Das Essen ist relativ teuer, dafür aber sehr, sehr gut.

Sehr lieber Service- immer in der Nähe wenn wir Fragen hatten und das Essen ist auch ein anderes Level! Auch für mich als Vegetarier ein Genuss und abwechslungsreich.

Eine wirklich tolle Bar mit Restaurant und super liebes Personal und mal andere Cocktails als sonst ☺️. Das Essen war einfach nur lecker, das Perlhuhn ist uns besonders aufgefallen weil es sehr saftig war ☺️. Wenn man in Leipzig ist sollte man dort unbedingt mal Hingehen 😉

Beste Cocktails und leckeres Essen, für einen recht hohen, aber meines Erachtens noch angemessenen Preis. Service sehr freundlich und moderne aber gemütliche Einrichtung.

Leckere Longdrinks gab's für uns alle. Einrichtung hat mir gefallen. Die Bedienung war sehr nett, wenn ihr aus der Longdrink- Karte nicht schlau werdet (so wie ich) dann lasst Euch von der Bedienung was empfehlen - mein Drink war prima!

Tolle außergewöhnliche Cocktails und super nettes und kompetentes Personal.
