La Cantina in Leipzig

Great tapas, great wine, great service. All in all a successful evening :) thank you very much. Would love to come back. :)

Super delicious tapas! Thank you very much, we thought it was great with you.

The food was really good, the price was average.

Nice & affordable food, and kind service - a must on the so-called "Karl-Heine"!

Really tasty and the prices are completely reasonable.

I've never eaten tapas before, this was my first time. I was looking for a good dinner with my friend, we found this restaurant and went there unannounced. Despite the fact that it was busy, we got a seat and were served quickly. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food and drink was very tasty and we also liked the selection of tapas. In terms of price it was also perfectly fine. We'd love to come back :)

Can only recommend the restaurant. 👌 Great tapas, delicious wines, great atmosphere and family service. Come back anytime 🤤👍

Strong thing, easy to go to, small cozy, relaxed. Really strong!

In June, three friends and I went to La Cantina together. It was our second visit, because although we found the service a bit intrusive on the first visit, we liked the ambience and the tapas. So: second chance. Unfortunately, the impression from the first visit regarding the waiter was not only confirmed, but worsened. He was repeatedly abusive verbally (insulting nicknames - "It's just fun!") and physically (stroking the back, patting the shoulder, a friend was tucked in without being asked and unannounced because "she must be cold"). When I asked really nicely if I could order something to drink, I was told: "No, you wait now." When clearing the plates, he dumped leftovers on my friend's food, who was still eating. In the end we were happy to pay. We had a voucher and gave it to him directly at the beginning of the evening. When we reminded him of this while we were collecting the money, he explained to us in an aggressive tone of voice that it wasn't true, crumpled up the bill, threw it in the middle of the table, slammed the card reader loudly on the table between two of my friends and walked away cursing. We were affected and honestly shocked by this behavior. When he came back he briefly explained that he had found the voucher inside. We told him that he shocked us with his reaction and that we weren't comfortable with it. He then said: "We have to understand that, it's a terrible hassle with the vouchers and that's why it's logical that he lost his temper for a moment." I emphasized again that we were really very scared. "Sorry, but I explained it to you!" Conclusion: The location, ambience and food are great, but it is not a place to feel comfortable for us. We won't be coming back.

We had made reservations for 4 people to eat good homemade tapas in a cozy atmosphere. That was the plan... A table was reserved, but not one for 4 people to eat tapas in comfort. The table was just enough to put the drinks on. Tapas came and the waitress started pushing and finally offered us a dirty chair so we could put our bread down. Tapas weren't really tasty either, it gave the impression that most of them were bought and simply put from the can into the bowl. We left disappointed after the first round. It's a shame that the whole Spanish flair falls by the wayside.

Small and cozy to spend a nice evening with friends, the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable, keep it up, thank you :)

Wonderful location, great food, nice service, I'll definitely come back

We were there on the weekend and we really enjoyed it. From the food to drinks and service, everything was top 👍🏻 We would be happy to come back in the future. Until then, have a nice and successful time 💪🏻

The two of us ordered both cold and warm tapas. The tapas are tasty to ok, the selection is very limited with just under 20 choices. Price/performance is reasonable for €5 per tapas. Unfortunately, the service is noticeably inexperienced, either all of the waitresses were with us in a short time or we didn't have the opportunity to order anything for almost an hour. Nevertheless, an effort is made and people are friendly. The ambience is typical of Karl-Heine-Straße, very lively and a lot to observe. In my opinion, the shop is absolutely not for discerning guests and palates, but it is a nice place to go for a casual evening with friends.

top Lage, top Tapas top Service

Absolute recommendation! Great cuisine, very nice service, I'm thrilled! Thank you for the great tapas evening!

Best Spaniard in Leipzig! Great ambience, delicious food and reasonable prices. We always enjoy coming back!

La Cantina simply has the best tapas in the city 🤤. With the cozy and friendly atmosphere, it invites you to sit relaxed and enjoy time 😊.

Great tapas bar! As always, very tasty tapas, great selection and, above all, our waiter Uwe was extremely attentive, courteous and listened to all of our wine requests. Our dog was also very well served. Always happy again!!

Nice tapas bar with an absolutely great location, a real treasure on a summer evening if you can get a seat outside and watch the goings-on on the Karl Heine. The tapas are ok, it was a shame that the somewhat arrogant instructions on how exactly to order tapas were a shame and has to eat. I would have been happy to receive friendly advice before or after ticking the order form - instead the (large) order was placed on the table and complained that it had nothing to do with tapas if such a large order was placed at once. It may be that this is not authentic. The sound makes the music, I found it bordering on unfriendly. Nevertheless, it was a very nice evening.

I like the small tapas restaurant, it is quiet despite Karl Heine. The tapas are very good, freshly prepared but if you are unlucky you won't be able to get this or that, but there is still a good selection. I always like it. I like the ambience. It is cozy, small and family-run by a German family. I often miss the Spanish music to add to the ambience. The wine selection is good and it is always nice to spend the evening there, whether alone or with friends. But please reserve in advance, otherwise it is not possible to get a seat except in the back part of the restaurant, which is half used as a storage area. But they always make everything possible and are always friendly.

Fantastic food & nice and friendly people.

Delicious wines to taste and take away (buy). There are small snacks, it's ok. The staff is very friendly and competent, even when there is a lot of traffic. We would be happy to come back again. The wine was actually intended for home, but the vacation must go on!

Staff super nice, atmosphere great

Food was ok, but definitely German / Spanish tapas. Lady in the kitchen was really unfriendly and stressed, which made our experience not too pleasant.

Food was middle class, nothing more (freshness and seasoning was missing). The location and ambience outside are fine. The protagonist among the waiters is, however, poorly cast. We didn't make a reservation, but we got a spot. It took a long time before we were allowed to order, even though the waiter obviously had time. When we were allowed to order, we were told at the beginning that those guests who had reserved would be given priority in service! Dear Sir, either you have space and serve everyone equally or you leave the free, unreserved seats unoccupied. Two-tier society when it comes to service is absurd and unprofessional. First and last visit.

Tapas for €5. Good wines. Part of the condition takes some getting used to.

A very fun evening! Absolute recommendation!

Tapas bar, service extremely friendly

Very family atmosphere. The food and the red wine were delicious.

I spontaneously got a seat for dinner. I was very satisfied and would like to come back when I am in Leipzig.

Very pleasant restaurant with very friendly staff. The food is very tasty and the portions are a decent size. We recommend. Thank you for the great evening.

The tapas are highly recommended!

Splendid! 5 EUR each tapa and delicious wine. What more could you want😎

Super tasty. Always happy to go there.

Ein charmantes Lokal mit leckeren Tapas, köstlichen Weinen und Wohlfühl - Ambiente. Sehr freundlicher Service... ein aufmerksames Team. Absolute Empfehlung für Tapas Fans.

Disappointing experience with unfriendly grumpy staff and frozen food & poor produce. Honestly, if you don’t like working in hospitality, consider a change of career, as it genuinely ruins occasions. Nice location/vibe, but would not recommend.

If you love Spanish cuisine and the food culture of tapas, this is the right place for you. For me the best Spanish restaurant in the city. I am a regular guest here because everything is convincing and the all-round package is right. The selection of tapas is clear, but changes weekly and is in keeping with the Spanish ambience and the small location. The quality is great. As a guest, you feel very familiar here and invite you to spend great, cozy evenings. Stay as you are

The tapas are super delicious! The back room is a little uncomfortable and it's next to the toilets.

Very friendly and fast service. The dishes all tasted great. Small, cozy restaurant. Highly recommended.

Very nice little restaurant with a super nice owner. The service is courteous and quick. The food was super delicious! Gladly again!

The Tapas Bar has a very pleasant atmosphere, a really nice place to end the evening and chat for ages. The service was extremely friendly and felt personal. Unfortunately the tapas had a very boring taste, we tried various cold and warm tapas. In my opinion you don't have to come here for the tapas.

The tapas were great. Very tasty and rich. Many options. Service was attentive and quick. Would love to come back.

Highly recommended....very tasty...just try it....very important to reserve in advance

Always happy, top service and quality. And Uwe is a professional. 👍

We spontaneously got a table on Friday evening. The food is great, the service is friendly and quick.

Delicious tapas and good wines, we always enjoy being here! :) you should definitely make a reservation!

Great ambience, fantastic tapas, super nice and friendly staff We will be back definitely

A great restaurant with friendly staff. The menu varies and is very tasty. The house wine was also very tasty.

A great little place, quite authentic, good and at a very low price too. There is a star deduction because you rarely get a place, as everything is almost always occupied by reservations. I can only recommend to the management not to make reservations. Due to the high frequency of the Heine and the good quality, sales could be increased in the low, double-digit range as idle times would be eliminated or at least greatly reduced.

Super nice service and simply delicious tapas...

Very nice staff and delicious food, the only shop in Leipzig that offers white hot chocolate. The restaurant is small but nice, and in summer you can sit comfortably outside.

A real recommendation for anyone who would like to try Spanish cuisine and like tapas. The selection of these is not too exaggerated, you can always find something, even if you are a vegetarian. I recommend the sweet potato salad with roasted nuts. Of course, aioli and bread shouldn't be missing either. The sweet palate will also find what it is looking for. If you want to come during peak hours during the week, we recommend making a reservation.

Far too cozy, wine far too delicious, food too 😁 We stayed hours and glasses longer than we actually planned. Great friendly service, nice atmosphere and fair prices. What more could you want?

Super friendly, super tasty... I'd love to come back

Delicious food and great service

Excelente lugar, una opción diferente en Leipzig, tapas variadas y muy ricas! Opción vegana y vegetariana.. lo recomiendo!!

Aaaalsooo... Wer damit leben kann, dass Sachsen Tapas zubereiten und servieren, ist hier richtig. Wer nicht damit leben kann, dass Sachsen Tapas zubereiten und servieren, soll sich hier unbedingt eines besseren belehren lassen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, das Essen war absolut super, die Preise waren human und der Service.... Naja, Sachsen halt... 😎 Ich freue mich aufs Wiederkommen. Der Gugelschreiber.

Die Tapas und der Wein sind seit Jahren wohlschmeckend, passend, gut sortiert,.. Gemütlich ist es,.. die Bedienung eher sächsisch, aber immer auf Zack ;)

Kleines feines Tapas Restaurant mit kleiner Auswahl an Tapas. Alles sehr lecker, perfekt zum Teilen. Schneller sehr guter Service!

War einen Versuch wert. Nette, kleine Location mit überschaubaren Essensangeboten. Sicher für die "Kiezbewohner" das Nonplusultra, vorher anrufen erscheint sinnvoll. Preis/Leistung in Ordnung.

Low quality food and the half of the staff is unfriendly… One time visit was enough

Hat leider wenig mit Spanier zu tun. Wenn Mutti zu Hause ein spanisches Essen macht, wird mit gleicher Qualität aus dem Supermarkt zusammen gestellt. Das Personal war aufmerksam und nett, aber eben auch nicht spanisch.

Leckeres Essen und Wein, sympathischer Service.

Sicherlich einer wenn nicht sogar der Beste Laden für Tapas in Leipzig. Service ist super, bei warmen Wetter kann man gemütlich draußen sitzen. Das Angebot wechselt hin und wieder sodass sich wiederkommen noch mehr lohnt. 4€ je Tapa geht total in Ordnung. Service ebenfalls sehr zuvorkommen und aufmerksam.

Wird jedes Mal ein toller Abend …

Tolle Tapas, guter Service Zu den anderen Kommentaren. Wer rechtzeitig Reserviert hat ein Platz an der Sonne. Im Zoo gibts doch auch Essen, gute Bratwurststände ohne Reservierung

Wir hatten einen absolut entspannten und schönen Abend bei euch. Der Service super nett. Drinks & Food spitze. Reservieren sollte man oder man hat einfach Glück und bekommt noch einen Tisch. Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen. 👍🏻🍀

Wer auf Tapas steht, dem kann ich das La Cantina empfehlen. Auf jeden Fall Tisch reservieren, denn es ist nicht sehr groß.

Sehr leckeres Essen,und preiswert. Aber man muss unbedingt rechtzeitig reservieren!

Super Konzept mit vielen Köstlichkeiten in schönem Ambiente. Der Service ist stets freundlich, zuvorkommend und hat immer einen lockeren Spruch auf den Lippen. Die vielen kleinen wechselnden Leckereien mit frischem Brot und Ajoli sind köstlich. Doch Achtung: Reservieren ist dringend zu empfehlen! Mit viel Liebe zum Detail kann man hier genießen und mit Freunden schnell mal 2 Stunden die Seele baumeln lassen. Preis/Leistung sind gut. Wir kommen gerne wieder, also vielen Dank und weiter so.

Schmeckt nicht nach spanischen Tapas, kaum Auswahl an Meeresfrüchten und vegetarischen Gerichten, wenig billiges Brot, das extra bezahlt werden muss, und wässriger Hauswein. Ganz gemütlich für ein Glas Wein mit Oliven und Boquerones.

Das Essen war leider enttäuschend. Wir hatten uns anhand der Bewertungen mehr vorgestellt. Aioli kaum mit Knoblauch, calamari die typisch fertige TK Ware mit dick Teig....kleine Auswahl an Speisen aber nicht wirklich original spanisch

Ob kleiner oder großer Hunger, hier ist für jeden etwas dabei. Die Karte ist abwechslungsreich und wird auch immer wieder aktualisiert. Preise sind sehr fair, im Vergleich zu manch anderen Spanischen Tapas Restaurants. Die Oliven waren schlicht, dafür die Datteln im Schmeckmantel und das Zitronenhünchen mega zu empfehlen. Auch über das Brot mit Alioli lässt sich nichts schlechtes sagen. Der Service ist top. Hier weiß man wie man die Gäste anspricht und zum wiederkommen animiert. Unterm Strich immer wieder ein Besuch wert, am besten mit Reservierung.😉

Wir waren heute das zweite Mal hier und sind immer wieder begeistert. Das Ambiente und die authentische und freundlichen Mitarbeiter runden das Erlebnis ab. Die Auswahl der Tapas ist nicht so groß, aber geschmacklich immer Top! Wir haben heute wieder Glück gehabt, denn es ist immer voll und man sollte reservieren. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist auf jeden Fall stimmig. Wir waren nicht zum letzten Mal hier!

Sehr nettes Restaurant mit freundlicher Bedienung. Für die Tapas gibt es nicht die volle Punktzahl. Sie sind wirklich nicht schlecht, Preis ist auch ok, aber für die Bestnote fehlt einfach Originalität und letztendlich auch etwas Qualität. Trotzdem, wir hatten einen schönen Abend.

Nice! Tisch reservieren ist klug, wir haben nur mit Glück noch einen Platz bekommen.

Leckere Tapas mit Herz :-) Dazu ein schönes Glas Wein und man fühlt sich wie im Urlaub.

Die Tapas und die Pasteis waren sehr lecker. Falls notwendig wird durch die sehr freundliche Bedienung eine Beratung in puncto Sorten und passender Menge pro Person angeboten. Den Sitzplatz an einer stark befahrenen Straße muss mal allerdings mögen...

Das La Cantina is immer eine gute Wahl! Man sitzt sehr schön, drinnen wie draußen. Die Auswahl der Tapas ist abwechslungsreich und immer sehr lecker. Preis - Leistung iat unschlagbar! Der Service ist freundlich und immer für ein Späßchen zu haben. Es ist immer wieder schön dort!

Klasse Lokalität. Das Essen ist unwiderstehlich lecker und der Service Top.

Sehr leckeres, autentisch spanisches, frisch zubereitetes Essen. Absolute Empfehlung 👍

In bisschen Studentenflair und dennoch Urlaubsgefühle...Tapas in ausreichender Vielfalt, gute Zubereitung, schöne Präsentation Vielfalt an spanischen Weinen, Bier und Sherry Gutes Preis-Leistung Verhältnis Service mit Leichtigkeit und Humor

Alles verdammt lecker. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, mir wurde sogar gesagt wie man die leckere Aioli macht.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, ausgezeichnetes Essen in absolut angemessen Zeit. Die Preise sind mit 4 Euro pro Tapas wirklich in Ordnung. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.
