Lortzing Leipzig Theaterrestaurant & Bar in Leipzig

Very nice service and the food was of the finest quality, highly recommended.

Terrible service. Very unfriendly. There are already two of them and they still keep people waiting because they need to talk. No “Hello” either. The food wasn't that great either, but it was okay. The sauerkraut was some kind of sweet mush. (11/25/24, 3:30 p.m.)

Frozen goods, terrible value for money, poor service There would have been enough time for the employees to pick up a rag to clean something (e.g. the toilet door). Everything inside just sticks (kitchen fumes!) Everything smells like old chip fat. The dishes on the menu are good, but what and how it comes out of the kitchen is unfortunately not nice.

Unfortunately, the top bistro couldn't completely convince us. The kebab here costs €6.50, and the student kebab is only 50 cents less. We find it almost cheeky to offer such a small discount for a “student kebab”, as students in particular expect a really cheaper offer. The overall taste of the kebab was mixed. The meat was crispy, but it was used quite sparingly and the quality was only mediocre. The bread, although crusty, was far too thin and in an awkward shape, which made it difficult to eat as it quickly fell apart. The positive thing was the sauce, which was refreshing and tasty, if a bit mild. The salad, on the other hand, disappointed us: it was overloaded, limp and the red cabbage dominated too much in terms of taste. The ambience also left a lot to be desired. When we entered the shop, we immediately noticed the open doors and the first wasps at the kebab counter. The walls were dirty and there were still labels on the lamps. The dark accents at the counter made the store seem a little cleaner, but the cramped seating added to the uncomfortable feeling. The service was also not convincing. The staff's knowledge of German was sufficient, but the sauce was simply forgotten and after five minutes the kebab man disappeared. As we ate, the meat on the skewer began to get darker and darker, which he later sold anyway. To make matters worse, even though the place was empty, the chairs were rearranged during our meal, adding to the already uncomfortable ambience. Overall, we found the kebab to taste okay, but the value for money, service and ambience left a lot to be desired. At a price of €6.50 we expected more.

Great ambience. Fast, friendly and very attentive service even though it was very busy. The food was delicious. We ate pork cheeks and half a grilled pork knuckle. Highly recommended.
