Pappelschänke in Leipzig

A quaint, rustic garden pub. Excellent food, impeccable service. Everything your heart desires. Highly recommended.

Great service, the best cucumber salad and always worth a visit 👍👍

High praise, I've rarely eaten so well. Home-style German cooking, very cozy. The hosts, Elke and Holger, are very friendly and attentive. Reservations are recommended.

We ate there yesterday with a large group of friends. It was absolutely delicious, and we had a wonderful evening with the host and hostess. We'll definitely stop by again on our next trip to Leipzig-Währen.

Yesterday, we spontaneously stopped by as a group and managed to get a spot. It's a lovely garden tavern with delicious food. The tomato salad with the schnitzel was especially fantastic. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Keep up the great work.

We took a trip there with my grandfather, who is the namesake of "Erich-Thiele-Straße," and ended the day at the Pappelschänke. In addition to the truly delicious food, I would especially like to emphasize the friendliness of the owners and the idyllic, family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We visited with our motorhome and got a great parking space right in front of the door. Thank you so much for that. We were hungry from Hamburg and were surprised with a huge portion of fantastic German home cooking. Highly recommended, we'll be back. We haven't eaten this well in a long time. The price-performance ratio is truly priceless. Friendly service, comfortable seating, and almost every guest's wish is fulfilled. A must for anyone who loves German home cooking. Thank you for your hospitality, we'll definitely be back. Best regards, Rainer & Rosi

The Pappelschänke restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere and authentic German cuisine. Although it's small, it impresses with its excellent home-style cooking in the north of Leipzig and is an insider tip! We visited for the first time based on a recommendation and didn't regret it at all. Food: The dishes are traditional and taste like homemade. The hearty meat dishes and fresh side dishes are particularly recommended. The portions are generous, and the value for money is very good. Service: The service is friendly and attentive. The owners, a couple, strive to ensure guests have a pleasant stay and are happy to answer any questions. Note that it might take a while to arrive, but that shouldn't deter you from a visit; you can enjoy the cozy outdoor seating even more. Atmosphere: The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The rustic decor perfectly complements traditional German cuisine. It feels like eating at a good friend's home. Conclusion: Anyone looking for authentic German home-style cooking in a cozy environment will not be disappointed at the Pappelschänke restaurant. A real insider tip for lovers of German cuisine!

The food was really delicious and plentiful. The service was very friendly. SIMPLY PERFECT. Thank you. We'll be back.

I really liked it! Small, cozy, and cuddly. And—very important!—the cozy covered patio is thunderstorm- and rainproof. 😉. Wonderful!

Hungry and thirsty, we spontaneously turned off in Lindenthal on our way back from Schladitzer See to Leipzig by bike. Our destination: a beer garden. Upon entering the Pappelschänke, my village-child heart leapt. A seating area under wine, perfectly tempered draft beer in a beer tulip, the best pub food, and a genuine, up-front crowd (you either like it or you don't). We then completely disappeared. No problem. It was over when the last guests were about to leave.

We were invited to a birthday dinner today. The host welcomed us very warmly. The food was a compliment to the chef; everything tasted great. We'll be back again for a private dinner. We really enjoyed it.

We went to a party with 10 friends on June 14, 2025. We discussed what we would eat beforehand. The German cuisine was excellent. The host was very friendly, and the cook also cooked very well, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended, we'll be back. 🏆🥇🫶😘

I spontaneously stopped by on my bike on a Friday evening. It was very crowded, but the owner was super relaxed and friendly, and the service was prompt. Plus, there's a cozy beer garden—it was almost unbelievable, perfect!

Stopped by here today based on a recommendation. We were greeted politely and served quickly. The menu is clear and concise. There is home-style cooking here. The landlord is attentive and it's easy to have a conversation. Conclusion: if you are in the area, it is a must to stop by. Attention, pay attention to opening times!

Thank you for the lovely day yesterday, thanks to you it was a great birthday party.

Everything is great, otherwise I wouldn't have given everything 5 stars. Just try it out for yourself. Speaking of which, you can also play a nice game of skat with the host here, if he has the time.

Very tasty food! We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

A great gem in Lindenthal. The interior resembles a diner, there is a beer garden covered with vines and the whole thing is run by very attentive and friendly innkeepers. The food is always freshly prepared and changes constantly depending on the season. The recommended wild garlic soup was terrific 👍👍. We wish you continued success. Many greetings, Steffen and Corinna

Thank you for the fast and courteous service. Our little double birthday party was very happy. The separate room means you can stay to yourself and talk to each other easily. There is probably a larger event room in the adjacent building. But the room in the clubhouse was just right for our 20 guests. Garden club pub, comfortably furnished, a bit American diner style, very pleasant to sit in. We had previously agreed on the dishes on offer. It was all German home cooking, and it was really tasty. We will be happy to book here again when the opportunity arises.

Very nice little garden restaurant. The food was super tasty and plentiful 😊. The two owners were very nice and friendly. My daughter thought the burger was great and recommended it to her sister-in-law the next day. We will definitely come back with our family. 👍

Great tavern! The owners were super friendly, which was great for us - child friendly! A few things to play with for the little one and a few rounds of Mau mau played with the family while the food was being prepared. As for the food itself: super tasty! Definitely as described, it tastes like grandma's delicious food which you can never get as well cooked :D! All in one: I can recommend it to everyone!

Relaxed atmosphere, relaxed and friendly service, free seating is also available. I can recommend 😁

An absolute must, you will be warmly welcomed here and treated as if you were part of the family. The food is prepared with love and you can exchange jokes. Always my pleasure!

Highly recommended...The host and the waitress were very friendly and nice. The food was more than delicious. We were served very quickly and the food was on our table quickly. I will most likely stop by again.

Actually, one word is enough: PERFECT! But still a few more words. It was our first time in the Pappelschänke - but definitely not the last time. Because everything was just as you would expect from a traditional restaurant or pub. Incredibly nice staff, incredibly good tasting and freshly prepared food at absolutely fair prices. 👍👍👍

We were also here for the “Martinsgansessen” meal, everyone really enjoyed it. A special thank you: although there was no burger 🍔 on the menu, our grandson got one (he doesn't know what he's missing out on if he doesn't eat a goose), found it so tasty that he wants to go to the Pappelschänke with us more often!!!

Nice little garden restaurant with very friendly service

You're always comfortable and there's always something to laugh about. It's just great

Very nice, well-run garden pub. Here you can get good home-style food that is freshly prepared. Even the salad dressing, which is made fresh according to the house recipe, tastes absolutely great. Very clean, absolutely top ambience, very good fresh cuisine, everything freshly prepared and absolutely top. The kitchen deserves great praise. Great host and landlady. The atmosphere is extremely good and clean. Outside under a covered grape arbor, inside super cute, small but you have the feeling you're coming to mothers. This restaurant has an absolute unique selling point in Leipzig that must be preserved. All in all, highly recommended!!! Many thanks to the host Holger. We will come back any time we are in Leipzig. Be sure to keep it up. Anyone who is ever in Leipzig Lindenthal should stop by for a very good schnitzel and a nice beer. Keep it up!!!

Great place that you can hardly find anymore. Delicious fresh food, great hosts and a great atmosphere. I always enjoy being there. I can only recommend it!!!!

We were there for the first time yesterday. After a bike ride with the kids and friends. I haven't seen anything so idyllic and loving in a long time. Super nice service and a great ambience. The children were able to move around freely and we were able to relax with delicious food. We'll be back!!!!! Thank you for such a lovely weekend trip!!!!

Were here for the first time today after the election. Everyone was super friendly from the staff to the guests. You can feel comfortable there. Thank you for the lovely evening

Great, idyllic garden restaurant. All is well with the world here. The service was friendly and accommodating. The owner always has a kind word and a funny saying on his lips. Our dogs were given water immediately. Our food came quickly and was very tasty. Everything homemade. Thank you, we would love to come back!

Cozy in the countryside, would love to come back

The selection of drinks is varied, and the food, although manageable, is absolutely delicious and lovingly prepared. The service is friendly and attentive, you immediately feel welcome. A perfect place to spend a cozy evening. Absolutely recommended – I’ll definitely be back!

Super nice service with a lot of humor. It's very cozy there, especially in summer outside under the vines. In addition to delicious, well-known food, there are always promotions with unusual food. I am absolutely satisfied and would be happy to come back.

We celebrated our bachelor party here at the end of July. The operators of the Pappelschänke were always there to help and advise us and were very friendly and approachable at any time. All of this contributed a lot to making our celebration a success for us :)

Highly recommended garden pub with a great price-performance ratio. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

We had rented the hall and the preparation and support were very satisfactory. The hall can accommodate up to 80 people. We were around 90 people with children and adults. Partly inside, partly outside. The kitchen is fully equipped and we didn't miss anything. We took care of ourselves. We can recommend it and thank you for the smooth process. Used for an elementary school graduation ceremony

Very cozy garden pub with super friendly staff and delicious food. Sometimes there is also live music and other events. We'd love to come back

Cozy garden pub with outdoor seating. Super friendly staff. We'd love to come back

Very well maintained outdoor area. The Pappelschänke offers a lot for a great stay such as billiards, table football, etc. It's also easy to find because it's not in the middle of the garden club like most of them, but right in front of it, so even garden owners can't go there

Letzte Rettung für zwei dürstende Radfahrer, freundliche und flinke Bedienung.

EINE SEHR GEMÜTLICHE LOCATION!!!! Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und haben bei jeden Anliegen eine passenden Ideen!!!! Am besten Vorbeikommen und selbst Überzeugen!!!

Für Feiern zu mieten. Es gibt Platz. Bus 90 hält fast davor. Parkplätze sind einige vorhanden.

Super location für private Feiern. Billiardtisch und Tischkicker sind perfekt für die Jugend;) Küche und Toiletten gleich im Gebäude und sauber. Danke

Hier waren wir zum Geburtstag. Super nettes Personal. Es wird sich liebevoll um einen gekümmert.

Da ich mit der Bedienung und mit Speisen sehr zu frieden bin und Getränken

Bin ein wiederholungstäter, war wieder in der pappelschenke, sooooo vemütlich
