Potatoehouse N°1 in Leipzig

Great location with interesting interior design. The food was good and sufficient.

You don't have to wait long for the food 😃

The food was good. Unfortunately, the schnitzel with fried potatoes came without any sauce, making it very dry.

Great atmosphere with very friendly service and delicious food 🥘.👌🏼

The food was good, the atmosphere was okay, and it took a bit of time to get served. But overall, it was a nice stay!

Unfortunately we only had very little time, but everything worked out to our satisfaction, despite the restaurant being full. Very nice and quick service and delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Very nice service and super delicious food. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, great food, pleasant atmosphere

Very nice inn, just a little too little on the plate for good eaters. Otherwise you can't complain. Always happy.

In itself a very nice restaurant. Maybe a bit cramped, too many tables and chairs, but still very nicely and appropriately furnished. Unfortunately, the food was just average and a bit too little for the prices. The bowl, however, was refreshingly different. My wife also thought her apple crumble was delicious. However, we have to criticize the service. The woman had a very negative aura. She wasn't unfriendly, but we felt uncomfortable or unwelcome in her presence. Therefore, we will not consider visiting again for the time being.

We wanted to go out to eat there today and wanted farmer's breakfast twice but without mushrooms... The waitress then said that it was not possible to remove the mushrooms... I immediately asked myself whether the food was actually freshly prepared there... But apparently not. It's a shame that customer requests are not addressed.

Quaint and very cozy. Very attentive and friendly service. Food was delicious. Gladly again.

Everything delicious, everyone nice!

The food, service and ambience are great. There was nothing that stood out as disturbing.

Deletes bad recessions to achieve a better score

the food is delicious. the male waiter on shift 11.03.25 (18:00-19:00) is racist, very rude and unfriendly. shame on you

Service friendly, food well... I had Wiener Schnitzel (price 26€). Unfortunately the breading smelled strongly like old breadcrumbs. When I asked the waitress, she apologized and I was allowed to choose a new dish. Really responded in an exemplary manner!!! What shocked me, however, was that she said that the schnitzel came from the freezer and had to be defrosted before serving! I'm really speechless, €26 for a frozen schnitzel!? The alternative was a minced beef steak, which was unfortunately dry and didn't taste fresh or homemade. I had at least hoped that a potato house would prepare the fries themselves, but unfortunately that wasn't the case either. If you're looking for unusual potato creations here, you've unfortunately come to the wrong place!

Very nice location, great food, very fast and friendly service and fairly moderate prices. Overall, absolutely recommended!

Super nice staff, great atmosphere The pulled pork bowl could have been a little larger in portion.

Very attentive service, good food. We were completely satisfied!

Yes, it's not bad, but unfortunately my Wiener Schnitzel for €26 was just okay. Unfortunately, it looked nothing like a Wiener Schnitzel. The taste wasn't necessarily mine either. The service was friendly but the lady struck me as trying to be friendly. But that's just subjective.

We had a sweet place, were served quickly and very nicely, it tasted delicious. Not huge portions but enough.

A nice quaint restaurant 🍴. Really nicely and comfortably furnished. The food 🌯 is good and offers good value for money. We were served very quickly and the food didn't take long to arrive. Very friendly and courteous service. We felt very comfortable here. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The food was fantastic, I just wish there was more food choice. The service was top there was nothing to complain about. About the restaurant itself, very cozy and quaint, but the toilets were very disgusting and smelled of urine. That's why only 4 stars.

The food and service were very good. Very attentive and friendly staff. I can only recommend it. Thank you!

We have 1 hour and 20 minutes for an open potato. waited.......Absolutely not recommended! 03/02/2025 After a long day at the trade fair, we were recommended to this potato house. We received a friendly welcome, but everything else was a complete disaster! If we are in Leipzig again as exhibitors, we will definitely not come to this house. Apparently Germans are not welcome here. Sorry! That's not our style, but it really didn't work at all.

We can only say positive things about the potato house No 1. The ambience, the service and the food are very good. The service is quick, the waiter also came regularly and asked if everything was OK or if we had anything else to ask. The drinks menu is very funny. It's right on a bottle on the table. The restaurant itself is decorated with great attention to detail. The food was great. We'll definitely be back.

Yes, definitely, we'll be back soon.

Delicious food, very friendly service and a reasonable price!

Grilled plate is great. Bear is perfect as well

Several guests independently found the schnitzel to be too unseasoned. The brightness in the dining room is also like a classroom. A rustic atmosphere doesn't really want to arise there. The service was fine. Overall, unfortunately not recommended.

Zander portions are a bit small. Otherwise a very good impression.

Super nice service and everything was delicious 😋.

Since your oven vegetables only consist of three types of vegetables (peppers, onions & zucchini), I have a little suggestion for you. Naturally! Here is a simple yet diverse recipe for oven-baked vegetables: Ingredients: - 2 peppers (red and yellow), cut into strips - 1 zucchini, sliced - 2 carrots, cut into thin sticks - ½ red onion, cut into rings - 200g mushrooms, quartered - 200g broccoli, cut into small florets - 3 cloves of garlic, minced - 3 tbsp vegetable oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 teaspoon paprika powder (sweet) - 1 teaspoon dried herbs (e.g. thyme, rosemary, oregano) - Fresh parsley for garnish Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). 2. Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. 3. Add oil, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and dried herbs over the vegetables and mix well so that everything is evenly coated. 4. Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure they are not on top of each other. 5. Bake the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until they are nicely browned and firm to the bite. Turn once in between. 6. Remove the oven vegetables from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Bon appetit! 🥦🍅🥕

Everything was perfect, the food was great, the service was very nice and polite, the restaurant was beautifully decorated. I would go here again and again, it couldn't be better.

Cozy like all potato houses, delicious food and very attentive and friendly service. Gladly again

Very hospitable, fast service, delicious and fresh food at a pleasant price.

Very nice place and kind service. Good food, to try! Located in the beautiful center of the city, with view on a little cute square.

Super delicious food, super friendly and attentive staff and I could have indulged in the apple crumble. They can also make fried potatoes. Really recommended and the atmosphere is great too. Gladly again!

We were there for dinner and ordered a grill plate and a hamburger schnitzel. The food came surprisingly quickly, almost a little too quickly. The dishes looked appealing, although I have to say that for a potato house there was only a manageable portion of fried potatoes on both plates. Overall, both plates were quite dry affairs. If the waitress hadn't recommended a portion of sour cream as an additional side dish, it would have been really difficult. The meat on the grill plate, especially the kebab (?) was particularly dry and gave the impression that it was frozen goods or convinia. This might be better off “disappearing” from the plate. Instead, some sauce or similar would have been desirable on both plates. Too bad. A real compliment to the service staff. They are attentive, friendly and on the ball, even though the restaurant was full! Ultimately, we tried the potato house and came to the conclusion that it was unlikely we would visit again. But thanks to the service staff, our disappointment was limited.

We were there for the first time. Very friendly staff, very tasty fresh food. Thank you

We recently had dinner there. The atmosphere is nice and everything is clean. However, you don't really understand the operation, which is due to your nationality. Not bad either. However, the food was underwhelming. There was no sauce or any indication that you could have ordered extra sauce. My Wiener Schnitzel was not at all what it should be (far too thick and without penade bubbles). The Kaiserschmarm wasn't good either. If we wanted to go out for dinner again, I wouldn't go here.

Gutes, preiswertes Essen und tolle Bedienung. Empfehlenswert!

The meal in a warm and rustic atmosphere was very pleasant. The selection of dishes was varied. The potato dishes were particularly impressive. The service was quick and the staff friendly. A great address for traditional cuisine

Very friendly service. For a restaurant specializing in potatoes, we would have liked more taste finesse. Unfortunately, the potato pancakes were almost raw, but were served again without any problems. Thank you for the seh4 good service.

Were here for the first time and are absolutely thrilled. Very nice, rustic atmosphere. Attentive and very friendly service :) The prices are right here! My wife had the beef bowl and I had the grill plate. Both were absolutely convincing. Mega tasty and very, very good quality when it comes to the meat. The fried potatoes and fried vegetables were also very tasty. By the way, the toilets are also very clean and chic. We would love to come back. See you soon. Chris & Luisa

You can certainly visit if you have a small budget. Food is okay. There were 7 of us there, everyone had a different meal but the ingredients, whether it was fried potatoes, schnitzel or vegetables, all looked the same. So nothing fresh. But the price is still right.

Super friendly staff, the food is great, you should try it

Food was good, but I've had much better schnitzels and especially farmer's breakfasts...for a "potato house" all potato dishes should be excellent. Otherwise it's very cramped here, you have to make yourself small to eat, especially if there are four of you seated at a table for four that also has a heater on the wall. All in all it's ok here, but I don't necessarily have to go there again

Very friendly, attentive service staff. The food tasted good but was unfortunately cold.

Expensive and I've eaten better before. As a real Leipziger, I can't recommend this.

Great atmosphere, creative menu & simply delicious…that was my review a few years ago. During my visit yesterday (December 2024) I unfortunately noticed a deterioration in quality. Apparently the owner and/or the chef has changed here, because a lot of things have changed for the worse: we ordered spiced meat (€8), which was good, and the Jägerschnitzel at just under €20, which was fried in old oil and therefore tasted catastrophic It was also carelessly arranged. There used to be many dishes prepared in small pans and rustic bowls to suit the ambience, but now you have simple, carelessly arranged plates. The croquettes were frozen goods, which is a no go for a potato house. The price of the dish is in no way justified. The service did its job, but unfortunately we lacked friendliness. Conclusion: unfortunately no recommendation for a visit to Leipzig.

My girlfriend and I dined here today (12/26/24). In general we were pleasantly surprised. A table was quickly found. Drinks and food arrived quickly. As you can see in the pictures there was a pulled pork bowl. This was changed slightly upon request without any complaints. And what can I say... It was simply delicious. My girlfriend had a chicken bowl and there was little to complain about here either. Only both bowls could have been a little bit bigger. For dessert we had an apple cake crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was also just good, warm and a bit “crunchy” on top. That's how it should be. My girlfriend had the Kaiserschmarrn. There are deductions here because it tasted a little too much like dough or flour (something like that). Too bad it could be better. I found the atmosphere very good and comfortable. There was something to see and admire everywhere. Maybe just because of the Christmas, winter decorations. Unfortunately, the toilet lacks charm and you are rather happy to be out of here again. Ok, you also go there for the food. But the saying remains in your head... "If you want to know how the company runs its kitchen, go to the toilet first" Last but not least, we were greeted by a friendly and experienced waitress. We were welcomed professionally and asked quickly and appropriately about any further requests we had. No long waits and always a smile on your face. Unfortunately we didn't find out the name but the lady was the only one wearing a red top that evening. We'd love to come back. Thanks

Very cute German interior design! Food was delicious and served fast, waiters were very attentive and polite and they offer a menu in English. There are good but limited vegetarian options.

Rustic (in a positive sense), cozy. Good service We had Schnitzel Jäger style, very tasty (could have been a little more), as well as the small salad. Only the apple crumble was a bit too sweet for me personally.

It's always really nice in the potato house, the prices are right and the food tastes really delicious. We were there spontaneously and without making a reservation and got a place. That was late afternoon. In the evening it is advisable to make a reservation. Super nice staff who are very attentive. A big thank you to the staff. We will come again.

Fast service, glasses weren't empty for long, food was quite good,

Cool atmosphere, good food and desserts. Nice service. I recommend

Friendly and attentive staff, good selection of food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere,

We spontaneously went for a late lunch (2:30 p.m.). The three of us were assigned a table for 4 people (which is basically completely fine), even though the restaurant was pretty empty and everything at the window was free (even if there were tables for 6). Well, the tables are also very small for 4 people. The potato pancakes were out of the package. The fried potatoes are probably from the wholesale market too. The schnitzel was manageable. The duck leg alone from the special menu was good to very good. That saves the 3rd star. The drinks could be cheaper. Overall, the service was friendly. The atmosphere feels more like a beer bar.

Small portions... It wasn't our first time eating here. Up until now I've always left full and satisfied, today unfortunately very disappointed with the overall package): . Still hungry afterwards): .... We ordered the 1x Schnitzel Hamburger. Fried potatoes were ok, but there were too few and some were still quite hard. Schnitzel, well... Really small, almost cute to look at. Had to cut out a few places, tendon): . There wasn't that much left. Too bad for the animal. It was topped with 2 fried eggs. Not that great in terms of price. Somehow we also expected more from the name. Cheese for example... Unfortunately, the potato soup with grilled sausage (additional €€) wasn't convincing at all. Soup less hearty, rather lighter and green): . I was really looking forward to a good home-style soup. This was also rather bland in taste, with little feeling of potato. You looked for onions and bacon in vain. Grilled sausage... well... more like a bockwurst. Not again. The place was well filled. Volume accordingly. But we were still able to talk. Overall it wasn't that nice anymore. Quality and performance were significantly better. Very unfortunate. We wouldn't come back for these dishes.

Food came super quickly despite the restaurant being full. Delicious, the right temperature and good value for money. Always my pleasure.

Despite the Christmas market, we were allowed to dine without a reservation. This is certainly not a given. Super friendly service and really delicious food that comes quickly. Prices that are truly unbeatable. If we ever come to Leipzig again, we would definitely go there again. Keep it up

Best restaurant in the world. Everything was super tasty

After our visit to the Christmas market we had dinner at the potato house, we really liked the atmosphere, the food was very tasty, the service was very friendly and attentive. A successful end to our visit to Leipzig.

My husband and I were visiting Leipzig and ate there twice, we liked it so much.😍👍🏻 Really highly recommended 🌟

We came in the evening with 6 people without a reservation and still got a place. We ate very well and plentifully at reasonable prices. Thank you very much for that and gladly again.

I liked how they served the food, different colorful dashes, everything simple and lovely.

We had ordered a specific table for 9 people for dinner with friends and were there to make the reservation. So that we could reserve exactly this, we even changed the day. When we got to the restaurant, we were given a completely different table. When we asked why, we received an unfriendly answer: We reserve seats, not tables! Unfortunately, after this disappointment, the food (cold pulled burger, carelessly prepared steak au four) and the overwhelmed service (forgotten request for additional avocado cream, etc.) could not change our minds. We won't be coming back.

Been here only once, with a friend. It is generally fine style-wise but also "off" in a way: looks old but is not. The service was fine and the food was fine. Nothing else, really. we tried one of their gigantic potatoes stuffed with cheese and creams and it was... well, fine!

Delicious food, nice service, nice ambience. Gladly again.

During our weekend trip to Leipzig we stayed at the Topfohaus 1. Since there were mixed reviews about it online and you can't get a table in many other restaurants without making a reservation 3 weeks in advance, we wanted to give it a chance. Said in advance - never again! Firstly, we were disappointed by the number of potato dishes that were on the menu. In my opinion, you can't call yourself a potato house if there are three types of potato casserole and then only completely different dishes that have nothing to do with potatoes. When I asked what else I could order, we were recommended the extremely great schnitzel and as a side dish you get fries or croquettes and these can also be described as a potato product, thank you very much... We decided on two different schnitzels and had to wait a whopping 50 minutes! waiting for our food. And what came could have been prepared in a maximum of 10 minutes; a ready-made schnitzel lay carelessly on the plate and a tiny pile of French fries next to it. The schnitzel was a classic ready-made schnitzel with pressed meat and the fries were baked in old, smelly and burnt fat, as was the schnitzel. Everything tasted inedible and burnt. My girlfriend had almost everything returned. The ready-made schnitzel with a value of less than €1 cost €20. USURY and pure tourist fooling! I would advise anyone not to eat there!! When asked why you don't make the schnitzels yourself, the answer was that you wouldn't be able to do it in time. That may be the case, but I expect appropriate quality for €20, or sell your crap for cheap money, then you can't complain. I've never felt so ripped off. NEVER AGAIN!

Despite no reservation, we got a table and had delicious food, great service

The ambience has diminished, the food instead of chicken sticks was frozen nuggets, potato pancakes were so greasy that the oil could already be seen on the plate,

I'm actually a fan of the potato house and think the idea is great. However, my last visit was a bit sobering. The burgers were placed on a plate that was much too large (we didn't know that you had to order fries separately) and served without any garnish. The spinach in the baked potato was very dry and not seasoned, as was the egg pressed into a mold on top. All in all a bit careless and not well done. It's a shame, especially since I used to really enjoy coming here.

Unfortunately, the portions are really small for the price. If you're very hungry, you're unlikely to feel full.

Nice place. nice service. Overall really nice experience

Very tasty, very fine. Always in again. The decoration, the space at the huge window and a great atmosphere frame the good home cooking.

We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it! Very friendly and courteous service. Nice atmosphere. Varied menu.

very tasty food (eisbein highly recommended), nice staff and a very, very chic atmosphere!

Had a spontaneous meal there this afternoon. It was well filled, but we were still offered a seat😀 The food didn't take long to arrive. It was delicious, maybe a little green on the plate would have been nice

Everything went smoothly and quickly. They have a menu in English, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. We recommend it!

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed. The burger was still quite tasty, even if the cottage cheese was very intense and certainly not to everyone's taste. Unfortunately, the sweet potato fries weren't tasty at all. For one thing, they weren't crispy, but soft and limp. On the other hand, they tasted purely like frying fat. The bowl was very small for the price and the sauce (mango curry) was obviously a ready-made sauce from the supermarket. In addition, the chicken, which according to the menu was supposed to come with crispy breading, was also not crispy. The service was okay, but new drinks could only be ordered upon request. The ambience is quite nice, but the toilets are less so and smell unpleasant. Overall, unfortunately not recommended.

Today we have lunch at the potato house No. 1 in Leipzig ordered, among other things, a steak au four. We received a loveless plate without salad with fries that were returned because they were still raw inside (see picture). Never again for €19.50. Only the service was very nice.

It was really tasty 😋 Price performance is also right here. The staff is super friendly. The restaurant was very busy. We can recommend it 100% 😊

Good food at a great price/performance ratio. Despite the restaurant being full, we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Worked great on site. Small circumstances were handled friendly and well by the staff. Gladly again!

Tasty food and delicious beer. After the meal and about 45 minutes before closing time, it was made clear to us that the initially courteous service staff wanted to call it a day: tables were moved, lights were turned off, a few of the service staff had already changed, were sitting at the counter and hanging on theirs cell phones.

Everything was tasty, but I would have expected more creative dishes from a “potato house” that put the potatoes more in the foreground.

Very tasty food, fast and nice service. We were there at lunchtime and without a reservation, but still got a table.

You come in and feel comfortable, nice staff, nice atmosphere and the food is very tasty!

Solid cuisine, decent drinks, in short everything is ok. But everywhere the last bit is missing to be grand. The portion sizes were not suitable to completely fill the stomach. At the table we were informed that the next guests were expected in an hour. So completely rock solid.

We had to wait a long time to be served. We also didn't get a white wine spritzer, even though she had noted it down. The food was very good.

Food was very good. Portions sufficient 😀

Very good, nice selection and really tasty.

I would like to share my extremely negative experience in this cafe. When I politely asked if there were free tables, I was told there weren't any. But shortly afterwards two women came into the café and suddenly there was a table available for them. (I asked if you had reserved, and They didn't) It was obvious to me that I was refused a table because I'm a foreigner. Such discriminatory behavior is completely unacceptable and disappointing. Customers should be treated equally regardless of their origin. I will definitely not recommend this cafe.

Were here today for dinner as a family at short notice. The service was great, the food was very good and sufficient! Gladly again. Thanks so much.

The food was dry and not very tasty. The potatoes were ordinary like elsewhere, so the name of the restaurant is misleading.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food. Would recommend making a reservation.

Very nice ambience, central location, creative food, friendly service, good beers and schnapps and liqueurs. A perfect evening
