Niemeyer Sphere - Céu Dining in Leipzig

Unfortunately, the food service was an absolute disgrace. At the beginning you were asked whether you would eat meat, fish or vegetarian. For the main course, as a non-fish eater, I was served meat and fish in my bowl and a friend, as a non-meat eater, was served meat, but no fish. The last time I ate fish, I immediately threw up - so the mistake wasn't funny. When we reported it to the service staff, there was no apology, only a comment that they would "correct" it. The two bowls were secretly rearranged and swapped by hand in the kitchen, so I got my friend's bowl and she got mine, although meat was still fished out here and there. Leftover food such as pepperoni stems were still part of the bowl. A disgrace for such a fancy shop with a menu price of €90 without drinks. Food safety aside, dealing with your own mistake is absolutely unacceptable and unworthy of a restaurant business. Every bistro around the corner does better error management.

Definitely worth a visit if the opportunity arises

Surprising, overwhelming, impressive... reveling in beautiful memories... We took an impressive journey through the culinary world in a spectacular ambience. The menu consisted of exceptionally combined dishes, perfectly prepared and lovingly served. The name gourmet menu is more than deserved. The service was extremely friendly and very attentive - thank you very much for that! The sightseeing tour with lots of interesting and entertaining information is also highly recommended. We would like to come again.

The space and architecture are impressive, even if the feeling of space can only partially keep up with the outside impression. The short tour and the lecture were entertaining. The details about surface design, interior and construction are exciting. Unfortunately, the menu didn't live up to our expectations at all. We had the impression that everyone in the kitchen was allowed to contribute one component per course, but that they didn't necessarily have to be coordinated with each other. Most of the courses were cold, which didn't really suit the season (autumn/September), and came in small dishes, so we ate with a small spoon except for the main course. Less decoration and more space on a plate would have benefited the presentation of the food. The service was consistently friendly and personable, but there were errors in the presentation of ingredients and uncertainties in general. We discarded the initial idea of ​​giving the dinner away to friends or family. Maybe we'll try it again next year.

Very nice location, great food, the wait was worth it👍

Great architecture, well executed and a great meal to enjoy there. The price-performance ratio is outstanding, pure enjoyment.

NOT ACCESSIBLE The Sphere was planned and implemented as a “canteen extension”. Only a short time after it was opened by the Saxon Prime Minister, it was converted into a public restaurant, although the location was NOT barrier-free. People with limited mobility are slowed down at the first step of a sweeping staircase! Unlike the food, which is transported to the guests' tables using a "sophisticated elevator system", there is no elevator for guests. The suggestion to retrofit the location with a stair lift does not seem worth considering for the crane builder. The owner, however, did not respond My questions about why the legal regulations were deviated from when building a new restaurant. No politician, no authority, no press and no award givers have so far been bothered by this discrimination. Rather, the Saxon State Ministry has praised the “Kugel” in the highest tones and instead of the builder It also explains in detail why and why it was not possible to intervene in the “cubature” of the monument for reasons of monument protection. The building itself fits wonderfully into the cubature. Its outer shell could and should do without stairs that disturb the eye Architects and builders apparently don't. In a final sentence from the lead official there was still room for regret that in our “INDIVIDUAL CASE” a visit to the restaurant was not possible. Not only our friends who rely on a wheelchair are excluded, but MILLIONS of people with limited mobility in Germany alone. The homepage misleadingly states that there are wheelchair-accessible seats! There is no indication that the restaurant is not barrier-free. The owner's credo, as he himself stated at an award ceremony, is him I know “no boundaries except the sky”. People with limited mobility, on the other hand, are mercilessly excluded! They don't even seem worth answering to the Leipzig crane builder, who is a national and international presence as a lover of architecture and a patron of the arts. In my opinion, the privately built spherical extension and design by the renowned Brazilian architect Niemeyer is an architectural masterpiece, but with its conversion into a publicly accessible restaurant it is also a prime example of ignorance and exclusion of disabled people.

Great atmosphere. Unique architecture, but with little view of the whole of Leipzig, but rather of the warehouses and production halls. Great idea to create a place for gastronomy with predominantly regional products! Service top. The 8 course menu was unfortunately very small in quantity, very unusual and alternative. A bit too experimental for us, like the vegan fish and seafood plate, and therefore not quite a hit in terms of taste. But what we have to give great credit to is that any food intolerances or preferences are taken into account here: whether vegan, vegetarian, no fish, lactose or gluten-free - everything is possible here! We had a lovely evening, even if the price-performance ratio wasn't quite right.

A strange location, the restaurant in the Niemeyer sphere is probably already closed again. You should book an expensive multi-course meal online without being told at any point what you're actually eating. An email request to reveal the food secret was not answered. What kind of gastronomic concept is this?

Very nice restaurant The price-performance ratio for a 13-course evening menu doesn't fit at all Totally overpriced Little and very unusual food for a lot of money Unfortunately I have to say "Never again"

Unique architecture. Can be visited with a 3-course menu.

Eine beeindruckend bereichernde Sehenswürdigkeit für Leipzig ...liebevoll Kosmonautenhelm.... wahrscheinlich einzigartig in seiner Form und Nutzung (Gastronomie)... unter ihr befindet sich die Werkskantine mit einem sehr guten Mittagessen...

Als Teilnehmer einer privaten Veranstaltung durfte ich an diesem außergewöhnlichen Ort einen wunderschönen Abend verbringen. Die Sphere mit der großen Glaskuppel bot immer wieder neue Ausblicke und schöne Lichtspiele und Spiegelungen. Auf der Außenterrasse konnte noch ein Regenbogen bewundert werden. Das Essen war sehr abwechslungsreich und bestand aus 14 Gängen, die nacheinander serviert wurden. Aus südamerikanischer, europäischer und deutscher Küche wurden Köstlichkeiten mehrerer Vorspeisen, Hauptgerichte und Desserts serviert, die Bekanntes und Unbekanntes kombinierten.
