PELLORUS Restaurant & Café am Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig

The food was only mediocre, and there was no ouzo before or after the meal! That's unacceptable! ☝🏻 And then they deducted a euro each for a child's portion, left out the salad, and halved the size of the meal. Then enjoy your gyros for €16, you 6-year-old kid! We think that's a bit embarrassing!

Very friendly, fast service, very good food

Very friendly and the food tastes good again

We were poorly served. The staff was very inattentive and didn't ask if you wanted to order anything else. Even when we asked for a menu for desserts, the menu came but then no one asked for an hour if we wanted to order. We then had to go to the counter and pay there because no staff came and left. When asked, they said "we're open again for the first day today" If things go so badly on the first day...

Nicely located, right next to the Battle of the Nations Monument in the park opposite, so it's nice and green. Service was friendly, unobtrusive, the service only had to wag after the meal, which wasn't a big deal. Good, tasty non-alcoholic cocktail, unfortunately with a lot of ice, which is quite normal. Tomato soup with a dollop of cream where you had to look for the herbs or there were none available. A rather bland taste experience. Salad with hake on top. Hake was good, well fried and seasoned. The salad, however, was a disaster, it was dressed with yogurt sauce, a rather poor quality of green lettuce, and very pale tomatoes that would probably have been better used for tossing. What wasn't good at all was the price/performance ratio, so paying €31.40 or €31.60 for a salad, tomato soup, a non-alcoholic mojito and tonic water is a bit of a cheek.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. Gladly again!!

We were greeted very friendly and were able to choose a table. Of course we had reservations for a Saturday evening. Food was good, sufficient and came relatively quickly. We liked it, even though we didn't get ouzo, as it wasn't on the menu. It didn't bother us, but it's somehow part of a Greek restaurant.

Nice restaurant right next to the Battle of the Nations Monument. Friendly, without a long wait, the service is attentive. The food is delicious

Decent food but also a bit standard. There was also sea bream on individual orders, but off the menu. Extremely friendly service there. It's also nice that there is enough space on the terrace and that it can be covered over in bad weather. The prices are reasonable. Parking lot at Völki perfectly located and free. Your aalenaa yoga team from Leipzig.

Very nice, we were surprised, everything was very good 👍

We like to come here often and again and again. If you want to eat typical Greek food, you're in good hands here. Ambiance fits, surroundings fit. A short walk between meals or climbing the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, all on your doorstep. Worth mentioning: extremely friendly, committed staff. Always happy.

Absolutely recommended. Everything is great

Mid-February visit of 6 people for lunch: Very cold and drafty room, we were freezing for 2 hours. The food was plentiful but not necessarily very tasty. Quality of meat questionable. We were able to take leftovers home with us. Not a typical Greek character like you know from other restaurants in DE. The only Greek restaurant in my life where there was no ouzo as a greeting or farewell. Plates were cleared quickly, but the many empty glasses were overlooked for a long time and no dessert or coffee etc. were offered. Extremely rough, rigid toilet paper. But I imagine it would be nice to sit on the terrace in summer. Drink selection is great. Maybe the team wasn't having a good day. We'll try again in the summer.

Today we were here with you for the fourth time and, as always, it was very nice. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed for chatting and eating. Very friendly and courteous staff who remembered us, highly recommended.

Since we always enjoyed visiting the restaurant, we reserved a table for Valentine's Day: The food was tastier and richer in the past. After 1.5 hours we were asked to leave the table because it was needed for other waiting guests. Why reserve a table when we have this one? Have to leave after 1.5 hours? The restaurant will have to do without us for the next while!

Very nice restaurant with great seating even for large groups. I was able to order food variably regardless of the menu. Very good service and a very friendly and familiar atmosphere.

Sehr authentisch und leckere Gerichte. Die Getränke Auswahl ist auch super. Der Standort ist sehr schön neben dem Völkerschlachtdenkmal gelegen.

They charged me 3.50 euros for a glass of water. After protest the dead eyes of waiter looked right through me and said "Welcome to Germany". Germany is not like this.

The service is very unpleasant or intrusive and not at all attentive... but very ambiguous! Completely out of place! The side dish for the main course was simply changed without asking or giving notice. Who doesn't want boiled potatoes instead of fries with their gyros... (not possible at all in my opinion) Portion very small. The taste is okay but there are really better Greek restaurants nearby!! Unfortunately I won't be coming back!

Various nice, friendly, patient staff. Food was very tasty and large portions. All at a pleasant price. Would love to come back. :-))

We visit this restaurant again and again and we really like it. I recommend it to everyone. The Holzwart family.

The food is really good. The service is okay so far, although sometimes it takes longer even when there are few guests. But the employees are so friendly.

A cozy atmosphere, right next to the Battle of the Nations Monument. Friendly staff and delicious food for large and small appetites. Always worth a visit.

Pellorus is a true gem in the middle of the city and not only offers a culinary journey into Greek cuisine, but also a unique experience for all the senses. From the moment you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a warm smile. The service is so nice and friendly that you immediately feel at home - a warm welcome that lasts throughout the evening. But what really makes the evening unforgettable is the food. The homemade tzatziki in particular is a true masterpiece: fresh, creamy and with a perfect balance of garlic, cucumber and herbs. It's not just an appetizer, but a real highlight that you simply have to enjoy with every bite. A taste that immediately transports you to the Greek sun. In addition to the tzatziki, the other dishes of the house are also a real feast for the palate. The meat dishes are juicy and tender, the souvlaki skewers are aromatic and perfectly grilled. Here you can notice the attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients used. Each dish is prepared with dedication and presented in a presentation that is as appealing as it is delicious. The various Greek side dishes go perfectly with this, rounding off the overall picture perfectly and offering a flavor explosion in every ingredient. Another highlight is the breathtaking view of the Battle of the Nations Monument. While you enjoy the culinary delights, you can admire the imposing monument in all its splendor - a fascinating sight that adds to the overall experience. The view of the monument creates a unique atmosphere that makes the Pellorus a particularly atmospheric place. It is the ideal setting for an evening that you will remember for a long time. Pellorus not only combines excellent food, but also fantastic service and a beautiful location. Here you feel completely in good hands, pampered and at the same time introduced to Greek culture. An unforgettable evening in an extraordinary environment - and that's why I can only say: five stars are far too little for this outstanding experience! I will certainly come back to indulge in the delicious Greek cuisine and friendly service. A real must!

We reserved a table (9 people) at 12:30 p.m., ordered around 12:45 p.m. and the food, main course, arrived at 1:59 p.m. Almost after 75 minutes

Delicious Greek food. View of the Battle of the Nations Monument. Good children's menu and also senior portions. Sanitary facilities are OK. Service was friendly and quick. Terrace with outdoor seating available.

No ouzo and the gyros were served without tzatziki - you can do that, it just has nothing to do with the classic Greek. In terms of taste, it was lower midfield, so there is no repeat and no recommendation.

A Greek without a round of ouzo? I find it very unusual, the food was ok so far. From my point of view, the garlic bread missed the garlic. Unfortunately, on the whole there are better ones in Leipzig.

Good food at reasonable prices.

Always my pleasure....... A special kind of Greek. Barrier-free and parking spaces available nearby. Great service, food very tasty. And the proximity to the Battle of the Nations Monument is unique. I really enjoy coming here with my friends and acquaintances.

We were here today as a family. The welcome was very warm. My special request due to allergies was implemented immediately. Everything tasted great. Today was our first and certainly not the last visit!

Everything really good. Be careful, there are no lunch tickets

We were guests at the Pellorus restaurant last Friday and were very satisfied. We really liked the "upscale" atmosphere, the staff was friendly, quick and courteous. The focus was of course on the food and here the kitchen managed to take Greek food to a new level for us. We can recommend this restaurant without hesitation, the food is definitely worth the price.

There were a lot of us (20-30 people) and we ordered a lot. Some have left, the others have stayed. In the end, the remaining guests paid in turn. WITH tip. Unfortunately, it turned out that someone had left without paying. (Happened!) But they implicitly tried to talk to our conscience... In order not to ruin the beautiful atmosphere, those who remained decided to pay the missing sum together. In my opinion, ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! According to the law, it is the duty of the staff to "remember" what the guest ordered, who paid and who did not.

Esto es un poco fuera de la ciudad, pero vale la pena un viaje. Tranquilo en el tranvía. Amplio, muy limpio, excelente personal ofrece un buen comienzo. La cerveza es excelente y la comida también. Gyros muy recomendable. Paramos a tomar una cerveza después de una visita al Panómetro, otra excelente parada, e hicimos un viaje especialmente para comer. Debe estar bien.

A restaurant in the middle of the Völkerschacht monument. The ambience is very nice, a little Greek, but also tailored to the Battle of the Nations. The service was a little overzealous. You don't have to stand at the table every 2 minutes because of every empty plate, that leads to unrest. Unfortunately the souvlaki skewer wasn't cooked through. When it comes to pork, I find this more worrying. The starter and dessert, however, were fantastic. All around a solid restaurant with room for improvement.

I was just in the restaurant for a business coffee. The restaurant is very clean, the waitresses and waiters are very friendly. Due to the size and spatial conditions, it is incredibly loud.

Delicious food. The garlic pepperoni was to die for. Friendly service, great selection of food and drinks and of course a great location

Except for the salad before the main course, everything was very tasty and good. Nice service and good atmosphere, but not very Greek in style.

We went to the Greek restaurant for the first time today, although there was some Greek decoration missing inside. The service was quick and very friendly! The food tasted good but the tzatziki was a mess and somehow lacked the typical taste. Value for money was definitely good. In order to feel really comfortable and welcome, we would have enjoyed the typical ouzo at the end, like in other hospitable restaurants. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant afternoon with good food.

A great restaurant, right next to the Battle of the Nations Monument. You should definitely reserve in advance for the inside, we wanted to sit outside and we could do without it. Very nice staff, fast service and delicious food, what more could you want. 😀

Food works, gyros taste good, unfortunately atypical without ouzo on the house. There is a relatively long wait and if you turn a blind eye you can forgive the mixed up food.

The prices are quite high for my taste, but the staff is very friendly. What is difficult is that the main courses are sometimes brought out very quickly when you are still busy with the starter.

Super friendly, a very elegant atmosphere and first class quality and taste of the food. A great recommendation in a green location at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal... easily accessible by car and tram

Food is good, relatively small selection. Prices are also reasonable and the waiters are always very friendly. Toilets are very dirty. There is no separate smoking area in summer, so the food tends to taste like an ashtray.

Very tasty food and a lot. The staff very friendly. The ambience serves its purpose.

Great local! Service great! Great food! Always happy !

Zerkochtes Essen, fade gewürzt, der Chef räumte ein, dass das Essen zu lange auf dem Herd gestanden habe, das unter das Problem...

We were in a large group and everything went great

The atmosphere has something of a train station hall! When it's full you can hardly have a conversation because it's so loud. And the furniture is dirty see photo of my chair. The food is good even if the menu is very clear. Oh, and if you think there's an ouzo on the house like everyone else, you're wrong. Conclusion, there are plenty of better alternatives

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

Delicious Greek food..great service.

Went to the restaurant spontaneously for lunch on a public holiday (October 3rd) and were seated. Service and food were very good. We spontaneously made a reservation for the next evening. Very good service in the evening as well as delicious food. Gladly again.

This restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere, attentive service and very good cuisine. It is the closest and, in my opinion, the best gastronomic establishment in the area of ​​the Leizer Battle of the Nations Monument.

Beautiful inside, a dream outside in summer with a direct view of the Battle of the Nations Monument. The food is always wonderful, the service leaves nothing to be desired. It's best to always make a reservation, people like to eat there 😊

The food itself was very tasty and the waiting times weren't that long. However, the typical gestures of a Greek restaurant are missing. There is no starter salad, no ouzo before or after. But there is also no water with espresso, for example. The ambience is also very loud because it IS a very hall-like building. In addition to the good food, there are also the little things that, in my opinion, should not be missing from a Greek restaurant.

I was invited to this restaurant by my family for my birthday. Our table was very nicely set, the staff was extremely friendly and the food was very good. I would definitely come again. We also had my 2 year old granddaughter with us - very child friendly 👍

Were there for my mother's 60th birthday. Very nice service, the only thing about it is that people are left a little left behind when it comes to ordering, otherwise very nice and flexible, we were also able to bring decorations for the table which they then put on it. Food was super tasty and excellent. The ambience was very nice, the darker it got, the light was adjusted. In any case, it is recommended!

Food and service is really good.

Very nice atmosphere, service very friendly and polite, food and drinks were great. Had a latte macchiato and chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Is highly recommended!!

I love it when the staff are in a great mood, the kitchen is so good and flexible that it takes special requests into account and of course the food tastes good. Everything was just right here!

Very nice staff, price performance is right! Always my pleasure

There's nothing wrong with it. Recommend it.👍

Very bad service from the waitress. Although it was very sparsely attended at lunchtime, I had to wait a long time and have to make myself aware several times that a waitress was arriving! It was more like self-service, only the table would be cleared at the end if you didn't do it yourself!

Very tasty food (gyros and baked feta), very friendly service and great ambience. We'd love to come back!

We had made reservations for 10 people on a Monday evening. Because the weather permitted, we were given a table outside. All orders came relatively quickly and the food was very tasty. We will come back soon.

It's nice to sit outside. We were served by 4 or 5 different waiters - I personally don't like it. Everyone was nice, but I would prefer just one responsible contact person. My food came in a reasonable time. I wanted to eat with my companion, so I waited for some time. When the second meal still wasn't there after 5 minutes, I started. After I was almost finished, we were finally able to speak to a waiter and ask about the second meal. It was forgotten, they apologized nicely and it was delivered relatively quickly. So we watched each other eat. The taste was ok, the quantity was sufficient, but the price was a bit too high for this quantity. The menu is very limited compared to other Greeks. And: unfortunately the toilets are not in the best condition.

Great service, good food, and very friendly and courteous staff + boss👍👍

Man könnte aus der Gaststätte was machen, wenn man wollte. Aber so.... Essen kam sehr schnell (zu schnell) der Salat von mir und meiner Frau wurde genauso behandelt wie die zwei Salate am Nebentisch: er wurde zurück gegeben. Er sah aus wie ein Salat aus einer Salattüte obendrauf verziert mit einem Klecks Soße, etwas Karotten und Zwiebel. Der eigentliche Salat war unansehnlich, alt, gammlig. Deshalb ging er ungegessen zurück. Die Bedienung wurde darauf hingewiesen, keine Entschuldigung nur Schulterzucken.... Zanderfilet war in Ordnung, Gyros ala Fournou war versalzen. Ambiente wäre sonst schön.

We were there in the early afternoon and sat on the terrace. The food was really tasty, the portions were big enough. The staff is very friendly and attentive. All of this at reasonable prices. Only the location, near the main road, isn't that great, but it's not really a problem either. It's still nice to sit in the green. And something is done immediately and effectively against intrusive flies. Clear recommendation.

Very good food, I felt like I was in Greece, I'd love to come back, the waiters, especially Nektarius, and the boss are very friendly, we had a nice evening, that's for sure

Lovely restaurant with a great outdoor area. The staff is very nice and accommodating and the food selection is also very good. Everyone will find something for themselves here. Highly recommended .

We held our silver wedding anniversary party for 32 people in the open air at Pellorus. The food was great, especially the gyros were very tender. Despite our excitement, the staff remained calm and very attentive. Always happy to go there!!!

Insanely delicious food. Nice staff.

Our order was taken incorrectly, then the main course came before the starter, the food was only lukewarm, and the bill was also wrong. There was no ouzo either. So we know Greek restaurants differently. Unfortunately I can't recommend it any further.

May 29, 2022 Wow, what can I say. I haven't eaten so well at a Greek restaurant in a long time. There were 4 pieces as a starter. Grilled pepperoni, baked feta, garlic bread and an extra portion of tzatziki. All 4 starters were impeccably delicious. The tzatziki was very well made, the feta was well breaded with a side salad, the pepperoni gratinated with garlic was simply delicious and the garlic bread was like garlic bread should be. The main course was the classic gyros, where you immediately noticed that not all gyros are the same. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this one. Well grilled, hardly any fat and no gristle whatsoever, as you would find in some other restaurants. The tomato rice was good, not a bit watery and the fries were just fries. The rump steak was more than perfect. Still slightly pink on the inside, seasoned with salt and pepper and topped with a piece of herb butter. There was also rosemary potatoes with small drops of pesto as a side dish. The combination is simply delicious. The main courses included a small salad variation with a delicious dressing. Drinks included a Diesel and a Radler. I found both a bit weak and not so lively. The carbonation was a little lacking. Biggest negative point: I thought it was a shame that the food quickly filled me up because I would have liked to continue eating. 🤣 No, I really have nothing to complain about. The staff were very friendly and always asked if everything was satisfactory. Class. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Inside, the restaurant looks very modern and is not reminiscent of a typical Greek restaurant with statues, old-fashioned interiors or the same music playing from the speakers. The restaurant also looks great on the outside. Located directly at the Battle of the Nations Monument in a park, it is a perfect excursion destination. It's green all around and the park is perfect for a walk after your meal. My conclusion. A great restaurant, with a very service-oriented staff, in a great location with great Greek dishes at reasonable prices. You will see me there often.

Beautifully located in the park with a large terrace and a view of the Battle of the Nations Monument, we had a fantastic Greek meal here for the second time and enjoyed attentive, friendly service! The large starter platter was divine and all the main courses were consistently excellent in terms of taste, quality and portion size. We would love to come back

The food was very good and arrived quickly. Staff was friendly and accommodating. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo over 200 characters. :)

The best Greek cuisine in Leipzig!

Leider enttäuschend, das Essen kam erst nach fast 1,5h und bestellte Getränke kamen nicht alle, wurden aber berechnet

Unfortunately disappointing, the food only came after almost 1.5 hours and the drinks we ordered didn't come, but were charged for.

Everything was great and highly recommended.

Portions very small, for the price.....quite nice without vegetables and salad. Spaghetti overcooked....you should stop by the Greek restaurant in Bad Lausick and take a course there...never again

Very good food, very nice service, you just feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you for the absolutely perfect evening.

Large covered patio, but too many tables. The chairs would be more comfortable with cushions. Service was ok. Portions were very clear. There were six of us and even our pensioners, who always eat very little, weren't really full. A double portion wasn't really huge, but at least it was more than ours. There are many Greek restaurants in Leipzig, but they are all better.

A nice restaurant where you can sit relaxed and enjoy great, delicious food

It was school day on August 3rd, 2024 and we were the first to arrive at the restaurant. Some time after us, 3 or 4 school starters arrived with their families. We were able to order the drinks and food very promptly. The drinks came to the table very quickly and the appetizers we ordered also arrived quite quickly. And then it was time to practice patience. We didn't see a waiter for a while. Food was brought to one table after another, and drink orders were also taken and delivered quickly. Current guests were also served very promptly. After more than an hour we asked when our food would come, the answer was a shrug of the shoulders and a stammered "Sorry", you see what's going on here!" Okay!? After another 15 minutes our food finally arrived Food was quite tasty, but there were also complaints, such as liver that was still bloody, food number 87, and meat that was not cooked through, souvlaki. Even after the meal, our table received very little attention Unfortunately, it was a big downer because our seats and one other person had been pre-booked, so the restaurant could have been prepared for that. It's definitely better with normal public traffic and I'll recommend the restaurant to others , but with a larger company????

Highly processed foods in lots of oil and extra thick cheese on top. A gyros (well dried...) without tzatziki. We stopped here after visiting the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and guessed which nation's cuisine was the inspiration for our planned snack order. We actually couldn't think of Greek for this. An astonishingly sad surprise, a shame. Oh yes, important: if you come here with smaller children, you shouldn't forget painting supplies or small toys so that the waiting time is child-friendly.

Food was perfect without a long wait! The staff was very nice and often asked if everything was OK. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and very friendly and flexible service

Eat The garlic bread was very crusty and partly burnt. The portions of the main course were very small and didn't do justice to the price. The design of the plate looks more like it was thrown up quickly. There was no liquor before or after the meal. The food itself tasted good. Rating 2/5 service The service was very busy. The waitress only came to our table once to take the first order and drinks. We had to organize every additional drink ourselves, because of heavy rain we stayed longer, otherwise we would have left straight away. At the next table there were several ladies who were obviously more valuable than us. Each time they poured the wine again and asked them if everything was okay, which didn't happen once for us in 3-4 hours. After paying, the waitress apologized to us about her waiters, because they were probably not on task and were understaffed. Rating 0/5 Ambience The ambience was very nice with a view of the Battle of the Nations Monument. Not to forget the people who enjoy their drinks nearby and then do their business at a bush in front of the guests. Rating 3/5 Conclusion The restaurant has a nice location. Unfortunately, the restaurant shouldn't offer poor quality at the expense of others when it could probably be better. If there are no staff or they are too incompetent, you should consider closing the restaurant for a short time and opening it on another day. I will not recommend the restaurant and will visit it again. Overall 2/5

We were there spontaneously yesterday around 4:30 p.m. and had a really delicious meal. Everything went very quickly, which we ourselves hadn't expected.

A funny Greek with loud music. Service is great and the service is very active Had calamari salad and bread gladly again

Good range of food and drinks. Friendly staff. My senior portion was tasty. Located in a green area opposite the monument. Large outdoor dining area.

The service is quick and nice. The food is delicious. And is very beautiful. 😊

Friendly staff and food and drink were also delicious. Will definitely come back again.

Food good, everything good. The conditions were also very friendly. The only thing we didn't get was an ouzo, as is usual with the Greeks.

The outdoor area is really very nice. You sit near the Battle of the Nations Monument in the middle of a meadow. The nearby street is hardly a problem. The food is delicious and not too expensive compared to other restaurants. However, if you expect the typical flair of a "Greek", you're wrong here. The service isn't particularly friendly and there isn't the obligatory ouzo as a welcome. Furthermore, the “grilled pepperoni” appetizer is not recommended. In the photo, most of it hadn't already been eaten, no, it came to the table that way. Clearly not enough for €7.90. Overall, not a bad restaurant but not a typical Greek restaurant.

As always great! The food, the service and also the view of the Völki... 👍🏻

Wir haben eine halbe Stunde gewartet. Wir wurden vom Personal nicht angesprochen. Sind wieder gegangen. Es waren 3 Bedienungen und ca. 20 Gäste
