Restaurant Leerer Beutel in Regensburg

Located in a quiet corner of the old town. Nice ambience.

I was here as part of a company Christmas party. The ambience is really great, the service is top notch, the food served is great! Additional information such as gluten intolerance among colleagues was also discussed. My clear recommendation...

A great restaurant, great ambience, good service, delicious food but the big but the women's toilets are a disaster, Absolute complaint here, I was shocked and horrified by such a condition and in this good restaurant it doesn't fit together, such dirt and old condition is an absolute disgrace for the guests.

A very nice place, very good cuisine, great people. Again as soon as possible!

Excellent food, attentive and friendly service

Nice attentive service. Varied menu. Salmon rolls as a starter were delicious and the main course was also the finest black dumplings.

We were there with a large group and ate in the Empty Bag. The food was very tasty.

Pleasant atmosphere! Very good food! What should be highlighted is the excellent service! Worth a visit!

A kitchen that tries to be creative, but doesn't succeed in terms of taste. The restaurant tries to convey a quality that cannot be maintained. The steak served was of maximum supermarket quality. I won't visit the restaurant again.

I was in the empty bag, but not to eat. But it was also really great in the jazz club. It basically belongs together.

Everything was great, although the side dishes for the beef sirloin steak were a bit sparse and the gnocchi had a somewhat exciting sauce, but otherwise (starter and dessert) it was super good. Gladly again.

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre - locker gepflegt. Aufmerksames Personal. Sehr gutes Essen. Eine wirklich gute Alternative zu den Lokalen mit bayerischer Küche

Very tasty food, great atmosphere, we came as a company and were 100 percent satisfied with everyone. Great staff :-) Greetings to Billy

Very nice restaurant, good service, delicious food...

For me it's currently the restaurant with the best price-performance ratio! Top cuisine with very varied dishes, great emphasis is placed on vegetarian and vegan options. The dishes are very tasty, beautifully presented and the portions are generous. The service is top and the employees are very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect, quiet and shady and a very nice atmosphere both inside and outside. However, the outside of the building is currently being renovated, so there are only limited spaces available outside. Conclusion: Any time again!

Das Restaurant in der Regensburger Altstadt bietet feines und zugleich bodenständiges Essen im historischen Ambiente eines alten Salzstadels. Die Speisekarte ist bewusst klein gehalten, weil man arbeitet mit saisonalen und vorwiegend lokalen Produkten auf gehobenem Niveau. Bei den Preisen bleibt man auf dem Teppich. Interssant ist der Leere Beutel vor allem für neugierige Weinliebhaber. Neben den sehr guten Gewächsen auf der gut sortierten Weinkarte (darunter viele Bio-Weine) hat Hausherr Winni Freisleben eine Auswahl gereifter Top-Weine der Trentiner Kellerei Pravis in seinem Keller gelagert und bietet sie zu - gemessen an der Qualittät - äußerst geringen Preisen an. Bei unseren letzten beiden Besuchen haben wir jeweils einen 14-jährigen Nosiola 'Le Frate' sowie einen noch etwas reiferen Sauvignon Blanc getrunken. Ich kann mir keinen Weinliebhaber vorstellen, der da nicht glücklich geworden wäre - wir waren es jedenfalls voll und ganz und freuen uns auf die nächsten Besuche. Roland Brunner und Beate Echtler

Wer einmal nicht nur bayerische Hausmannskost bevorzugt , ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Die Speisenauswahl und Präsentation ist einwandfrei , ebenso die Qualität . Eine kleine Unstimmigkeit zwischen Wunsch und Angebot hätte zu einer Abwertung geführt , wurde durch den Chef des Hauses aber umgehend gelöst , daher keine Abwertung . Vom Chef über die Servicedame , bis zum äußerst netten "Vietnamesen" Gast orientiert . Lediglich eine Dame fiel etwas ab -ihr macht der Job sicher keine Freude . Ansonsten können wir das Restaurant vorbehaltlos empfehlen.

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. We were very pleasantly surprised! We will be back!

Nice atmosphere and great food. On Monday evenings there is always live music on an open stage in one of the rooms.

Maybe a little too hyped. our expectations were already very high. Unfortunately, it was quite loud, also due to a celebration. The food was good, but not sensational, the service was good and attentive

Courteous service, slow food cuisine with a Mediterranean approach that is really convincing and not to forget a great grappa from the balloon with grape leaves afterwards... the owner family relies on local ingredients and you can taste it too.

Trying to find an appointment for August, I called now at 10:23 p.m. A woman's voice came on the phone complaining about the music (on your side) being too loud and what I even wanted. It may be wiser not to answer the phone at all if you are overwhelmed. The idea of ​​service and friendliness probably fell into the nearby Danube. Update on feedback from owner: - If friendliness were the case, the friendly answer would be: would it be possible for you to call tomorrow and or to set the phone to busy if you knew it was incomprehensible in advance

400 guests were perfectly looked after and received fantastic feedback from the guests too. Highly recommended !

Very nice restaurant and attentive staff

Birthday party in the historic ballroom 06/2024: a dream: great, experienced and lovely staff, fine food, top service, modern technology, attention to detail. Very good value for money. Gladly again! Many many thanks!!!

Very good slow food.. and a nice jazz club just nearby

World located in with lovely decor and an old-time feel this restaurant promised quite a bit. The menu looked comprehensive and well thought out. Staff greeting was friendly and unobtrusive. We started with the garlic soup which was herby and lemony and really superb. Has a good start to the meal we looked forward to our main courses which were the proper deli with beef strips and shrimps in a tomato ragu. This indeed was quite tasty except that the shrimps were tasteless and unnecessary to the dish. However the real disappointment of the evening was the beef cheeks. This restaurants menu purportedly crammed to focus on slow cooking. The whole point to the dish of beef cheeks is to have cooked it slowly in vegetables and red wine for up to traditionally eight or nine hours so that the meat becomes so tender that there's no resistance to the fork and then it melts in the mouth. Sadly the meat had become hard and rubbery and thus undermine the whole point to the dish. This is the reason for our score of 3 out of 5 due to the lack of discipline and care with this dish.

"Das Auge isst mit - ein Event für alle Sinne" im Rahmen der Ausstellung Maria Maier BIS JETZT in der Städtischen Galerie im Leeren Beutel war rundum gelungen. Das Essen war wunderbar, die Organisation hervorragend, die Bedienungen super freundlich und Kubanische Aperitiv köstlich. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Winni, die Köche und die Bedienungen!

We went to a JGA in the Empty Bag and it was a great evening. The hall was beautifully prepared, the food - which we had chosen in advance - came very quickly and tasted very good and the staff was very attentive and nice! Our wishes, such as bringing a karaoke system, were also taken into account. I would recommend the Empty Bag at any time! Kind regards to the whole team, especially Eva

Good food at reasonable prices.

We enjoyed the lunch menu here. The cuisine here is very tasty and ambitious, and the service is also super friendly and quick. The ambience is unique and at a great price-performance ratio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

***Free wedding ceremony followed by a celebration and vegan/vegetarian menu*** True to the motto “Better late than never”, we would like to share our experience with our wedding celebration at the Leerer Sache restaurant. Our wedding (free wedding followed by a celebration) took place on August 26th, 2023 in the Empty Bag. After the beginning (planning, setting the date) was a bit bumpy, I was slightly worried that things might be similar on the day of the celebration. But what can I say: On our wedding day it couldn't have been more perfect! We held our free wedding ceremony directly in the restaurant on the gallery. Mr. Freisleben and his team put a lot of effort into setting up rows of beer benches (with white covers) in front of the gallery so that all our guests had a good view. The Empty Bag is perfect here if you don't want to be dependent on the weather at the wedding, as the rooms (including the hall!) are simply perfect for such an occasion. Another “concern” was the menu, as we wanted to keep it purely vegan/vegetarian. But here too, our wishes were taken into account very well and we put together a great, Italian 3-course menu in collaboration with Mr. Freisleben. The food was delicious and also impressed the last vegan critics. The service was very courteous and always on point throughout the day. Conclusion: Even though it wasn't easy here and there at the beginning, at the end of the day the empty bag was able to convince us even more that we had definitely made the right choice. Mr. Freisleben and his team know what is important at a celebration like this and made our day unforgettable. Thank you for that! :)

Rarely have we eaten so well, great service, it was the first, but certainly not the last time.

Beautiful ambience, very attentive, friendly and hard-working service, excellent food! I celebrated my birthday there with 60 people and would do it again at any time!

The food was fantastic, unfortunately I had to wait a long time for my dessert because it was apparently forgotten.

Good restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and nice staff. In terms of price, it is in an upper price range with corresponding quality.

Great food and friendly staffs 😍 Highly recommended

Delicious braised beef cheeks. The historical hall is of course something special. Good service.

Beautiful vault in an old patrician house. You can eat very well and in a cultured manner and, if you want, you can have culture next to you.

We organized a birthday party here. Everything worked very well and the food was delicious.

Great restaurant We really like the concept of offering a few dishes of very good quality. Our highlights were the mushroom croquettes and the crème brûlée. Unfortunately the pasta wasn't al dente, but otherwise the food was really great. We also liked the selection of drinks - there were many non-alcoholic drinks We'd love to come back!

Excellent place to celebrate a big birthday

Consistently high quality in both service and food. The lunch is so good that I bought my mother ten visits as a voucher. Stands out in Regensburg's otherwise rather mediocre restaurant scene thanks to its skillfully prepared food and consistently good quality. Lunch offers one meat and one vegetarian option.

One of the few European restaurants in Regensburg that still cook everything themselves. The food is consistently high quality, which also has its price. The lunch menu, on the other hand, is an absolute bargain (€11.40 for lunch + dessert or starter). Worth it both in the evening and at lunchtime.

Super friendly and committed. Made a lasting impression on me...

Unfortunately, we also had a very unpleasant experience here. The incident has already been described here. We were invited to a wedding in May, everything was sent and prepared. Then in January came the shock, the location announced that the booked room was no longer available, there was probably a larger wedding there on the same date. I think every bride and groom can understand how big a shock it is to find themselves without a location four months before the wedding. Almost impossible to find anything new. And yes, another option was offered to the bride and groom, but who wants to have a wedding without a dance floor? Most certainly not. Very unfortunate everything.

The wedding of close friends of ours was supposed to take place here. However, 5 months before the wedding, after all the invitations had already been sent, the innkeeper threw them out of the "historic banquet hall" that had been confirmed in writing on the grounds that another wedding had to go there. He offered the bride and groom that they could go to the restaurant if necessary, but it was far too small for the company and a large band. As a bonus, he asked to make the champagne reception “free”... “how great” But the big hit was that he then claimed that the restaurant was also a "historic ballroom" and that they couldn't use the hall. According to the homepage, all emails and the banquet folder I have seen from them, it explicitly says "historic ballroom and restaurant" which makes it a cheeky lie! I wouldn't in good conscience advise anyone to trust the landlord here. Especially when it comes to a wedding that you plan months in advance and then gets torpedoed. We are still trying to save what can be saved with the bride and groom!

It was another great location for our company party. With a large stage, very good technology, great catering at the bar and in the service. Very variable with bar table area, dining tables and dance floors. A delicious buffet was conjured up by the in-house restaurant. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We recommend.

Unfortunately we had a very unpleasant experience: We were invited to a wedding reception in the Empty Bag. The restaurant was booked and invitations were sent. Four months before the wedding, the bride and groom are informed by the restaurant that the reservation will be canceled, apparently because the operator came across a better option. If you have a little decency, you wouldn't cancel a planned wedding celebration because of something like that...

Very good food with very friendly service in a nice atmosphere. We recommend.

Were at Django Asül, the restaurant was unfortunately closed... Nice ambience, there is also a small arthouse cinema in the house.

Were here for the 10-course New Year's menu. Food very tasty Service was extremely nice. Had a very nice conversation with the boss and lady of the house. We recommend.

An absolute highlight in Regensburg, great ambience, outstanding service and very, very tasty food. Any time.

Ich war gestern zu einer Weihnachtsfeier dort. Personal allgemein in Ordnung aber eine Kellnerin hat sich leider im Beruf verfehlt… Die Firma bei der ich tätig bin, hat drei gänge Menü pro Person bezahlt, inklusive Getränke. Als ich ein Glas Wasser, Leute Wasser!!! bestellt habe, hat mir die Kellnerin gesagt, "Auf den Tisch ist schon eine Karaffe Wasser, bedienen Sie sich... Die Karaffe Wasser war fast leer und außerdem habe ich sie nicht bestellt, sondern meine Kollegin. Ich stand sprachlos und habe ich nichts weiter gesagt. Die Kollegin hat mich natürlich ein Glas Wasser geschenkt. Ich finde unmöglich wie eine Kellnerin wie sie bei so einem schönen Restaurant arbeitet!

Einfach ein gigantisches Essen mit einem stilvollen, zauberhaften Ambiente. Der Service lässt keine Wünsche offen. Ich habe ein Biorindfleisch gegessen, dass geschmacklich nicht zu übertreffen war und auf der Zunge zerging.

Wir hatten hier in kleiner Runde einen sehr netten Abend mit gutem Essen, gutem Wein und gutem Service. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Das Essen dürfte etwas wärmer sein, wenn es serviert wird. Eventuell wären hier vorgewärmte Teller eine Lösung. Ansonsten waren wir alle rundum zufrieden und können das Lokal empfehlen.

Ich kann mich an nicht mehr viel von letzter Nacht erinnern (Betriebliche Weinachts Feier ) ich weiß nur das der Abend so intensiv war das ich im Haus eines Arbeitskollegen Aufgewacht bin Fazit Sehr guter Abend

Wundervolle Service. Große Auswahl. Tolle Portionen.

Very nice place to eat. The service was very good.

Ich besuche 11 Dezember, dann kann ich beschreiben und antworten auf die Frage!!!!!!)

Sehr gutes Lokal und ein toller Jazzkeller.

Interessante Wechsel- und Daueraustellungen im historischen Museumsgebäude ohne Eintrittsgebühr. Zuvorkommendes freundliches Personal informiert gerne im Bedarfsfall. Sehenswert!

Wir haben im September dort mittags unsere standesamtliche Hochzeit gefeiert. Insgesamt waren wir 15 Personen. Als Vorspeise wurde für uns eine Kartoffel-Lauch-Suppe gemacht, die absolut perfekt war. Zum Hauptgang gab es mehr Auswahl. Unter Anderem im Ganzen gebratene Forelle, Wildgulasch und Rinderbacken. Alles war wirklich hervorragend. Unsere Gäste waren auch sehr glücklich mit der Auswahl. Es war für jeden was dabei. Zum Kuchen gab es dann noch diverse Heißgetränke. Der Service war durchweg perfekt. Wir wurden bereits mit Sekt empfangen und es wurde alles getan, damit wir und unsere Gäste uns rundum wohl fühlen. Uns wurde jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Es wurde immer gefragt, ob wir noch etwas brauchen und ob man noch etwas für uns tun kann. Alle waren so aufmerksam. Wir denken sehr gerne an diesen schönen Tag zurück. Das ganze Team hat diesen Tag für uns zu einem wahren Erlebnis gemacht. Wir bedanken uns auch auf diesem Weg nochmal bei der Küche, dem Service und auch der Restaurantleitung für den gelungenen Tag!

Coole Lokation, preiswertes Essen, frisch und total lecker, freundlicher Service

War nebenan für ein Konzert, eine super Kleinkunstbühne!

1A Besuch empfehlenswert!! Empfang freundlich, Bedienung freundlich und Speisenkarte lässt genug Auswahl zu. Selbst Desserts sind toll.

Hervorragendes Essen bei super Service in besonderem Ambiente. Werden gerne wiederkommen.

Exzellentes Essen, vor allem die Panna Cotta.

Als Vorspeise habe ich bunte Beete Carpaccio, als Hauptgericht Waldpilzrisotto gegessen. Beides frisch zubereitet mit regionalen Produkten, zuvorkommender Service. Chef fragt beim Abschied, ob wir auch zufrieden waren mit der Leistung, besser geht nicht.

Ate there with Viking Cruises. Main meal eas cold and bland.

Мы слушали джаз и ничего не ели. Атмосфера приятная .

Das Essen ist echt super. Ich war drei mal mit meiner Familie da und leider ist jedes mal was schief gelaufen. Es wurden mehrmals Getränke von einen anderen Tisch auf unsere Rechnung gesetzt. Das kann ja schon mal passieren aber nicht öfters. ACHTUNG! CHECKT IMMER EURE RECHNUNG!

Freundliches Personal, gutes Essen und eine schöne Location. Dazu ein Kulturzentrum mit vielen interessanten Veranstaltungen.

Einfach gutes Essen und ein toller chef

Ich war zu einer Veranstaltung dort. Kann also nicht sagen wie es "normalerweise " dort ist. Jedoch alles hat gepasst, schneller und freundlicher. Kompetenter Service. Das Essen war wirklich okay, drei Gänge alle drei mit Auswahl Möglichkeiten. Das Ambiente paast. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen.

Toller Ort, tolle Ausstellung...

Allein schon das Gebäude bietet ein besonderes Ambiente, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und geht auch auf besondere Bedürfnisse ein. Und dann natürlich das Wichtigste, das wirklich hervorragende Essen, geschmacklich ausgewogen und die Portionen so, dass man gut satt wird. Immer wieder einen Besuch wert.

Super leckeres Essen in einem sehr schönen Ambiente

Essen war lecker Bedienung freundlich

Slightly off the beated track. Inside or outside this laid-back restaurant served up traditional German food in a pleasant atmosphere. Service was slow but they are advertised as 'slow food' and we were not in a hurry.

We needed a restaurant earlier this week that could make gluten-free food, safe for one with celiac. We called ahead and they said it shouldn’t be a problem, but just in case they asked us to call back in an hour to have a talk with the head chef. We did and it was not a problem. It has a cosy and rustic atmosphere. The food was good and safe. We got hummus and bread. Gluten free “knekkebrot” for the one with celiac. The meal was altered to be gluten-free. Friendly service! We would like to come back.

I didn't attach a photo. We are there for lunch on a fixed menu as part of a Viking cruise. The meal was so so and the strudel was almost raw. It's possible they just couldn't handle a nearly 200 person group, but it looked like they were set up for events.

Jazz WE in Regensburg, einfach geil.

Sehr freundliches Personal, schmackhaftes Essen, auch lecker fürs Auge. Das Menue reicht, um satt zu werden.

I really enjoy the food here. There's a nice family environment going here, and they have a very nice mittagsangebot where you can try very good quality dishes at a very reasonable price. I also really like the ambience of the place. Would highly recommend.

This was included as part of our River cruise due to changes because of water levels. It was a very nice lunch-we couldn't enjoy it too much as we had another tour after this to make sausage & wanted to have room to enjoy the sausages.

Amazing wooden structure in the restaurant room. Nice starter with efficient service. Well structured lamb meal , with balanced sauce. Limited choice as proof of quality, sweet and light crème brulee. Honest Spaetburgunder red wine fitting with lamb.

The restaurant has a large inside area and a few tables outside. It was a nice evening so we sat outside. The clientele was principally German which is a good indicator. Our waitress worked really hard to make it a pleasant dining experience. She was able to locate English menus for us and was very attentive. The kitchen sent out a chef’s beetroot appetiser and some fresh olive bread. We ordered the stuffed calamari starter which was very tasty. I then had the whole fish which was pleasant but not overly tasty. My wife enjoyed the spinach dumplings with mushroom sauce and salad.

The restaurant is a slow food one, located close to the Dome in a side street. The building is a historic one and worked in former times as a granary. Old and thick wooden trusses with high ceilings on 2 levels. The service is quick and friendly. They bake their own French Bread: it tastes hearty and tight; no breadcrumb! We ordered for appetiser "Calamaretti" (crispy!) and for main dishes "Jakobsmuschel" and "Rindelfiletspitzen". All made to perfection!

My vegeterian wife & I checked out suitable restaurants for our first evening in Regensburg & tracked down Leerer Beutel. A typical slow Monday - the room had a less than 50% occupancy. This added to the tranquility of the setting & assured personal service. The staff could not have been more helpful guiding through the options on the extensive menu. The food, the service, the wine, the beer and complimentary smoked eel starter ensured a memorable first evening in Regensburg at a most reasonable price. Thank you Leer Beutel !

4 of us had soup, pike perch, artic char, pasta of beef filet. Coffees. No desserts Be aware there is lots of pasta on the menu Positives Outdoor seating area Good food Eager service. Nice staff, very obliging No pressure to finish our meal quickly Negatives Nice room but lacking in atmosphere due to lack of patrons

With a great support of staff I've organised a really nice surprise birthday dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great. Music acoustics was just fine, so we were able to have a calm conversation. The food was very good and service was super friendly. I really recommend this place in the heart of the city.

Good food. Warm reception. Very kind and polite service people. Made great effort to speak English. Reasonable price for such giod care and high level cuisine.

Service exceptional, food wonderful, great variety, wine menu fantastic. We had a great night, even the owner stopped to have a chat.

Schweinshaxe and similar touristic meals will probably never turn up on the menu of this gem. Rather hidden in a small street outside the core of the touristic center this restaurant offered a special fish meal for Good Friday and heaps of somewhat traditional, but still inspired dishes. We were very positively surprised by the quality of the food and the hospitality of the waiters. A good place to dine under a ceiling made of massive vaults.

We would not have found this place if not for seeing it on trip advisor. The entrance is down an side road and not that obvious. The restaurant is down some steps in the basement of a large building. It feels like your sitting in some medieval castle with huge stone pillars and old wooden beams. The restaurant was busy, but the majority of the patrons were locals. The staff were friendly but didn't speak much English but we managed with the help of one English menu. Three of us had scallops with chorizo to start and one had a local cold meat selection, all very tasty. For mains one of had duck another had a meat stew of some kind and two of us had THE burger. the burger was the best burger both of us have ever had!!! It came with sweet potato fries which themselves were heavenly. The burger was in an onion bread roll with crispy bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce. It was like no burger I've had before. Once you buy into the meat has a pink colour but not because it was undercooked. I can only assume it's something to do with the way they prepare the burger. The whole thing melted in your mouth and the flavoured all worked so well. We both agreed it was well worth the €20.80 it costs. I'm pretty sure the other guys enjoyed their mains but I was too busy enjoying my burger to notice really. For desert I had the chocolate mousse which again was very tasty. You could taste the bitter chocolate and it was lovely and smooth. All in all a cracking restaurant GO FOR THE BURGER!!!

We had a delicious vegan antipasti and main course. Especially the main course was a pretty small portion. A long as you are open to have several courses and pay a little more, it is pretty good. Good service, too. Not ours though, too pricey for what you get.

We were attracted to this restaurant because it was aligned with the slow food movement. This usually indicates an appreciation for how food gets from the farm to face. We were not disappointed in anyway. The service, food, and atmosphere was exceptional. The saltimbocca was delicious as was the fish. Also the salads were very good sized and quite fresh. We would definitely come back for more.

Restaurant has the traditional German cuisine food is good, prices are oke, staff is friendly, lots of open wines.
