Kaiserbad in Leipzig

Addendum February 2025: In winter, the atmosphere of the restaurant is what makes it attractive. A large room with comfortable furniture. This time, however, they served barely cooked fried potatoes with a perfectly decent schnitzel. One minute less in the pan and I would have sent them back to the kitchen. Five minutes more and they would have been perfect. I also told the waitress this when she asked if we enjoyed everything. The answer should be put on the wall in big gold letters: "I hear that often". Does that mean that the kitchen is not at all interested in feedback about waiters? Or is no feedback passed on? What kind of restaurant is it where a mistake often made in the kitchen cannot be corrected (and let's be honest, undercooked fried potatoes are a childhood problem for a complete beginner). And the waitress sees this as the state of things. Big questions about the management of the shop. Nice atmosphere on the Karl-Heine-Kanal. The beer garden is unique when the weather is good, but the restaurant looks cozy too. Schnitzel is very tasty, burgers are average. Lots of different beers. Gose is perfect.

I can highly recommend Kaiserbad, the ambience was very nice, very great and fast service, very very tasty food

Super good food, great ambience

Very well maintained, clean and beautiful

Very good food there and the service is good

Very tasty food! Highly recommend it!

Delicious food, reasonable prices and very nice staff.

Good evening, we were there with a group of six people. We all enjoyed the food, the service was perfect and we will be back soon. This is safe. Stay as you are. Thank you!!!!

Very nice location. Comfortably furnished.

Great atmosphere, good service, we decided on burgers, the taste was delicious but unfortunately they weren't really hot when they were served, what a shame!

Very nice location. The brick walls are great. Service was very quick. Food very appealing. I had gnocchi with corn poularde and vegetables. The presentation and seasoning are super delicious. Thumbs up again for the chef. Points are deducted for the acoustics. Seems very loud over time. OK. Who has their restaurant so full? But it seems disturbing. Actually 4 and a half points.

Nice restaurant, good food, prices are good (for me as a Swiss, almost cheap) and it has a nice view of the canal. Will definitely and happily come back.

The imperial bath. Restaurant - bar - cafe. Located directly on the Karl Heine Canal. The food tastes good, the staff is attentive and friendly. In the summer time there is a bar outside with cocktails great at the end of the day. Consumption possible inside and outside (rather less so in winter). I can highly recommend it! 👍🏻

The ambience is very nice, the service is very student-like and unfortunately the individual ingredients in the meal were not tasty and the composition of the ingredients was not suitable. Unfortunately not a recommended restaurant.

Amazing dishes and drinks, leave a place for desert

Very nice staff, food and drink also good

Everything is there - for young and old! We drank delicious tea and were happy that it was wonderful here. Great atmosphere!!

spontaneously on December 23rd. Had dinner in the evening with the idea of ​​treating yourself to something after the exertions of the last few weeks, eating in the neighborhood again and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. As non-meat eaters, we had a very, very clear selection of dishes between thousands of preparations of "corn-fed chicken", whatever that is. If you're a strict vegan, you'll probably have to make do with a cocktail. Had a rainbow bowl and the bread dumplings with ratatouille. Unfortunately, both were not recommended in terms of taste. The bowl was a collection of heavily over-seasoned, spicy and indefinable things...neither in terms of color nor in terms of culinary delights there was a rainbow ;( the ratatouille was two undiluted tubes of tomato paste with pieces of vegetable... plus dry, firm bread dumplings, who would eat something like that? so happy -, loveless and unimaginative cuisine - and the only great thing about it was the prices! You also get ripped off with the cocktails. An endless series of different gins, and you have to order the tonic separately as a filler... a completely normal gintonic (there is a "cocktailsclassics" list, but none of them are there). Ordering a menu directly from the waiter can, as in our case, quickly cost €10... shelling out €85 for food that wasn't tasty and was overpriced and obscure Cocktail prices, despite all the atmosphere, we as locals are really disappointed and probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

I can only recommend it. Very cool location with very nice service.

Great as always, thank you very much!

We had booked a table for 8 people and sat pretty much at the edge, which was useful for conversation as it was very full and also very loud. The first order went quite quickly, but the food took more than 75 minutes to arrive, and during this time no waiter contacted us to order drinks if necessary. The taste of the food was ok, but unfortunately some of it was cold. The question about more soup was dismissed rather rudely with "it's the kitchen's closing time" and the coffee machine would also be switched off now. Customer service is different!

Great ambience, delicious food, friendly staff, recommended at any time

Friendly atmosphere, especially the large table at the entrance offers a nice, more protected area. In summer, the beer garden is a pleasant, quiet place to relax despite being close to Karl-Heine-Straße. Friendly service. Personally, the cauliflower steak wasn't my thing; it doesn't offer much variety in taste and isn't filling at all - perhaps another side dish could help. However, the Rainbow Bowl is good & refreshing - well suited for a small lunch. Also great lemonades (the cucumber basil lemonade is my highlight!) & cakes.

The fries and the strawberry/basil soda were very good. I had the halloumi burger with it, which unfortunately was extremely dry because there was far too little sauce on it for me. On the other hand, the halloumi was fried for too long and was therefore quite hard. I think the atmosphere is nice. What I personally didn't like was that there was a cat there (inside) and making itself comfortable on the seats. She seems to belong, but for me that doesn't have to be the case.

Very nice restaurant. The food was great. Fast service and very attentive. I'll definitely come back to you food, very nice atmosphere.

We have often eaten here. Be it as a couple, as a family or as a large group for a birthday. We were always very satisfied with the delicious and varied food. The ambience is very nice. In summer you can sit outside or right by the window overlooking the canal. The prices are sometimes quite expensive, but the quality definitely makes up for it.

Great location...always a pleasure.

We had a lovely evening and were very satisfied overall.

Good vibes and excellent service. All you need for a nice friday evening. Thanx from Estonia :)

The restaurant is very comfortably furnished. There's a great selection of drinks and some delicious vegan dishes - we'd love to have more of them! ;)

Good restaurant with charm. Tasty foods. Small but good card with information about the regional origin of the beef 👍 Price performance top

Friendly service, but it took a while to order the dishes. Other customers arrived much later and received their food in no time. After about 40 minutes our food arrived. At first glance, my double burger was normal size, but the patties were far too small and relatively thin compared to the burger bun. Solid in taste, but nothing special. There was also a mountain of fries. The price was okay. Conclusion: The side dish should not outweigh the main course, larger and thicker slices of beef should be slightly less fries. When it comes to customer service, I can only say first in, first out. Then it works with 4 or more stars.

Very nice stylish restaurant. Delicious dishes, also vegetarian and vegan. Also vegan cake. Friendly, attentive staff. We were completely satisfied.

We were there for dinner and didn't have a reservation. The restaurant was already busy. A friendly waiter showed us to a free table. A short time later we got the drinks and food. The house wine was ok, the veal schnitzel had a lot of breading that came off the meat.

Several guests received their food before us. Although they ordered later.

Unfortunately, the service in this restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. During our visit, my friend and I had to wait at the door for a long time until a waitress with black glasses noticed us. Her greeting was uninviting: “What do you need?” When we asked for a table for two, she assigned us a seat that was uncomfortably close to a table of five guests. To our friendly request to sit outside - the weather was pleasant - she responded hesitantly and unfriendly. She even suggested that we could "help ourselves at the bar" since they "couldn't provide outside service." This unfriendly and unprofessional treatment caused us to leave the restaurant. It's unfortunate that we couldn't try the supposedly good cuisine because the service was so poor. Management is strongly advised to review and improve service quality and customer friendliness. If this gets better, I would like to give it another deserved review. Kind regards, Martin

Billiges Essen teuer verkauft. Das war eine Enttäuschung, großartige Beschreibung in der Speisekarte, geschmacklich und zubereitet wie im einfachsten Imbiss. Dazu kaum gewürzt.

Remarkably good service - super friendly, helpful and attentive staff - pleasant atmosphere

Very nice location, good food...service can be improved. A little slow.

We were there in the afternoon and enjoyed the sun on the beautiful terrace. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We had cake and soup. The cake came out of the fridge and was unfortunately very cold, and the soup was a little under-seasoned (but that's a matter of taste). The coffee and tea were very good.

Very nice restaurant, certainly a highlight in the west of Leipzig. Staff also very friendly. Had to wait longer for children's chair and asked several times. We only had one soup, but it took away our appetite for other dishes. The Asian soup was only lukewarm and consisted almost entirely of noodles and the taste was indefinable for us. We'll definitely come back and then skip the starter.

Very tasty breakfast, good coffee and nice staff.....👌👍 What more could you want.... We'll be happy to come back when we're in the area again

I have already been to the Kaiserbad three times. I'm always drawn there. Last time again last night. We quickly got a table for two even without a reservation. That was great. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food - as is always the case in the Kaiserbad. My fish dish was not tasty. The monkfish was hard and rubbery and the crust was very salty. The atmosphere is right here, but not the food! Sorry, this needs to be reworked again. The service was friendly, but was busy and therefore not always there.

A very nice, quiet restaurant with a great outdoor area. The service is very friendly, fast and courteous. In addition, the food is very good.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food, there is also a nice selection for vegetarians.

We had breakfast and were unfortunately disappointed. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not good.

Always delicious, you could say hipster chic😉 With a large selection of vegetarian dishes and regional references

The food was really delicious! We were really surprised. ☺️

The staff is friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Food took a little longer even though it wasn't full, but we had enough time. Unfortunately, the cheese dumpling wasn't just mediocre. There was no cheese to taste and the rosemary foam was just a blob of cold cream. The starters (dips and beetroot) were very tasty, but there wasn't enough bread for the amount of dips. Drinks were well mixed. We'd love to come back. Despite the size of the room, it is cozy and warm inside.

I called here and asked if I could get in there with my electric wheelchair. The answer was yes and then I could get there and I found out that I had two steps, each about 15 cm high, one up and one down

Good, somewhat expensive restaurant in the industrial district

Nice ambience, but overwhelmed and little understanding when it came to the wishes regarding children's meals (tomato sauce instead of sauce on the menu). Bruscetta was soft rather than crispy, lemon rice seemed to be just rice with a slice of lemon. There is some room for improvement.

We celebrated our wedding there a few years ago and loved it! A few weeks ago we had another meal with the family. It was very tasty! However, after the starters we had to wait an hour for the main courses. Unfortunately, no one told us that it would take longer - that can happen. Very unfortunate. Nevertheless, we would love to come back!

The ambience is very nice. The food is always very tasty and very sufficient.

At the beginning of September we rented the hall of the Kaiserbad to celebrate our wedding there. Everything was perfect. The location is beautiful, the food was just as delicious as in the restaurant next door and the service staff was super friendly. All arrangements went very pleasantly and smoothly. It was perfect all around. We can highly recommend the Kaiserbad and thank you for the wonderful day.

Unfortunately my schnitzel was a bit too salty, but otherwise very 😋.

Visited you today for a family reunion. Everyone was thrilled with the ambience, food and service Thank you. See you on October 4th. To the class reunion

Super friendly staff. Food very tasty. We sat outside, it was just really nice

Great food Nice staff A water took forever but I think that was the fault of the huge group of guests who were next door and that's not the norm. At least the 6 of us enjoyed it and we'll be back

Staff absolutely unfriendly, especially the bald guy at the bar, no smile, no hello, nothing, you have a question or want to reorder something, the answer is stroppy, your young waitresses don't even have a clue what you have to offer, the questions too Ingredients cannot be answered or if you want to know what you can offer with your coffee, no advice, if you don't feel like working then look for something else, gastronomy means passion, joy in working with people, you need it all an instruction and training included! I am very disappointed!

Unfortunately, the Kaiserbad couldn't really convince me. The dishes all looked like they had just been warmed up (pasta with dried sauce, dry shish kebab). Additionally, sliced ​​rosemary potatoes were advertised as fried potatoes. However, the prices were also at the upper limit for the portion size. Unfortunately, the service was only present at the beginning.

Simply always delicious. In the middle of the green In the middle of Leipzig Right on the water Nice old building

A really nice place for a drink in between or more. The map is not overloaded. The food and drinks on offer meet our taste. The service is always quick and very friendly. And the location is perfect!

Servicepersonal am Tisch sehr nett. Kulanz durch Schichtleiter für schales Bier-Fehlanzeige. Wir können ein neues auf eigene Kosten bestellen. Ambiente schön.

Good food at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the staff is often quite ignorant. Yesterday, sitting at our table, I waved to the waiter who then turned around and walked in the other direction. I then ran after him and asked him about it: “I saw you, I just wanted to do something else before.” Aha. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case. A few weeks ago with friends we also had to actively take care of getting a drink replenishment.

Unfortunately you couldn't sit on the beautiful terrace because of the many wasps. But there's also a great atmosphere inside, again at any time.

Delicious food, nice service, super nice ambience. Even if the noodles weren't 5 stars, the dessert takes it out of it.

The food was first class. Very good and the price-performance ratio was completely right. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere is pleasant. Gladly again.

I love this place. It can be difficult to get a table sometimes, so I recommend making a reservation. The food is incredibly delicious and original, and the atmosphere is simply wonderful. The prices might be a bit high, but they are always worth it. The service from the waitstaff is very positive, and it’s equally enjoyable whether you’re inside or out in the courtyard.

As Henning May said: "Sunglasses are a must and filter coffee is a pleasure. And the strawberry cake, you have to try it." Great location for coffee and cake 🫰🏼 I can't rate it more. Staff very friendly.

Unfortunately the food was poor in terms of price performance. Absolutely inadequate in both quality and quantity. Service was nice. Tomato soup tastes like arrabiata from a jar. Potatoes not fully cooked. It doesn't work that way. But: Please not again so quickly.

Great location! Nice and funny staff... Won't be here for the last time

Beautiful, quiet place right on the canal - delicious offer - also possible for larger groups, indoors and outdoors with reservation

Everything is fine and nice, but unfortunately they make themselves very unpleasant by charging €3 for an additional bread basket (with 3 pieces of baguette) - for a dip dish - at such high prices. That should probably be changed

Nice. Nice beer garden. Nice location. Parking spaces are limited to none at all.

“Kaiserbad – Where waiting is part of the enjoyment” The Kaiserbad in Leipzig impresses with its pretty interior, an inviting beer garden and a tempting menu. Our starter, ordered around 7:30 p.m., arrived quickly, which initially made us optimistic. But then the real Kaiserbad experience followed: 2 hours and 15 minutes of waiting for the (rather uncomplicated) main course (ordered around 8:00 p.m.), which was finally served at 10:15 p.m. When we asked, the waiter explained to us that we had caused the problem ourselves because we ordered the starter and main course separately. No apology, no small snack or aperitif to make up for it - just a remarkable composure in dealing with the waiting time. Conclusion: If you have a lot of time and are prepared to excuse the service with a smile, you will definitely find what you are looking for here. For everyone else, we recommend spending the evening somewhere else.

Large selection of vegan cakes/tarts,…

Very nice location, great food and drinks... a clear recommendation from me.

Megaaaa. So ein tolles Lokal. Ich war bereits mehrmals hin und jedes mal war es super lecker. Das tolle ist das die Karte auch immer abgeändert wird so ist es jedes mal etwas anders.Sehr,sehr lecker.

Very nice and courteous service. The starter, main course and dessert were all fantastic. We'd love to come back

For Monday an alternative price for food in the upper range.

Nice place, relaxed beer garden. There is still room for improvement when eating, the burger was a bit drowned in sauce, which wasn't that tasty either, the meat was a bit small, the salad was also a bit drowned in the dressing. But it's not too bad, the nice ambience makes up for it. It looked very nice inside too.

Schöne Draußen-Location,Service & Essen mäßig.4&Burger durchgebraten bestellt,3 recht roh bekommen, Diskussionen bis zur Korrektur.Sahne im Eiscafe umgeschlagen,wieder nur mit Diskussion in Ordnung gebracht.

Cannot be reached by phone or email for reservation purposes. This has nothing to do with service.

Mediocre food, friendly service, toilets smell awful.

Good food in many price categories... You can always find something and so far everything has been very tasty...

The perfect “customer” is maximally submissive, changes naturally and must be quite solvent. But in return you get complaining about a lot of work and unskilled temporary workers. There is obviously no other way to save the suffering gastronomy in Leipzig.

A really cool location, the food not only looked sensational, it tasted even better. Really highly recommended!!!

We had reserved in advance, luckily, the restaurant was filled to capacity. Nevertheless, served super quickly, very friendly, highly motivated staff and top quality food. Not just today, we've been here several times.

We were here in a large group (16 people) The ambience, both inside and outside, is stylish and invites you to linger. The drinks and food came quickly despite the location being full and for the most part it worked really well. Only the prices are a bit sporty in relation to the food. All in all it was great and we will definitely come back.

Oh well …. We arrived and waited 25 minutes until we were asked about the drinks. As we were waiting for our food, mice ran over our feet (we were sitting outside) when our food came, we got something different than what we had ordered... of course we let it go back and then waited another 15 minutes until the food came. It was then served with the statement from the service “our chef is so incompetent he can’t even read” well I don’t know if you should say that about your colleagues. Eating outside was also impossible because there is an extreme wasp problem there. All in all once and never again. BUT! The burgers were very tasty and the home-made fries were great.

Had a wonderful evening there yesterday. Everything was really right. The food was great, the service was super friendly and the restaurant itself was great too. There is also a good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Am thrilled. 🤩

Delicious food and friendly service. Great ambience in old factory architecture

Great breakfast in a nice atmosphere

We wanted to spend a nice evening here together. We sat outside. The ambience wasn't bad. The service leaves a lot to be desired. We waited well over 30 minutes for our drinks alone. Then the food order... We waited a little over an hour for our food, which was a complete disappointment for some of us. The fact that a Wiener Schnitzel costs 22 euros is one thing. The fact that half of the plate is just a leaf of lettuce and the other half is three fingertips of fried potatoes and a small schnitzel is another matter. With faster service and a value-for-money dinner, this would certainly be 2 stars more.

Great ambience, super nice outdoor area. I'm happy to come just for that reason. Unfortunately, I have to realize again and again that the service staff are completely overwhelmed and I wish that more people would work there to relieve each other's burden when there are a large number of guests. The food also suffers. Unfortunately often cold or disproportionately long waiting times (1.5 hours on our last visit)

We get the smallest table, every other couple gets a table with a decent size... I wouldn't have tipped...

My food was nothing, hello, my drink well - for 6€ with 13 ice cubes, I took them out and lo and behold the glass was almost empty oh dear, better go to another restaurant

We were there on June 9th. in the Kaiserbad for breakfast. 10:00 a.m. After half an hour someone finally came to take our order. After another 1/2 hour the drinks coffee and cappuccino arrived. After these were cold, breakfast came. Something like that doesn't work for breakfast today. We were disappointed. What's the point of having friendly staff if the service isn't right? The products were off the shelf, which doesn't mean they weren't tasty. Tipping doesn't just depend on smiling staff. Nevertheless, the restaurant is recommended. You just had a bad day on the 9th.

We booked the fantastic ballroom at the Kaiserbad with an adjoining terrace for our wedding. Thanks to Ulli and Thu, the planning and the associated arrangements were super uncomplicated. Requests were responded to very flexibly. There was even a super sweet cake tasting beforehand. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We and our guests were extremely satisfied with the service and buffet catering.
