Restaurant Patakan in Leipzig

Great experience, nice staff. Table service would be an improvement.

Very tasty, we like to come back again and again. The only problem is table reservations, we had reserved, we were shown the table and there was definitely a reserved sign there. So we got our food and came back to the table and it was occupied. Only after we said that we could get someone from the staff to clarify this did the other guests get up. I'm there a lot and I often see situations like this: customers simply put signs on other tables or even hide them between flyers. Unpleasant for guests who reserve in advance.

We really enjoy having breakfast there.

Super friendly service, fresh food. A bit too air-conditioned, but that's probably no different in Gondwanaland

We ate here on Christmas Day. The staff was very friendly and the Christmas decorations were very nice. Unfortunately the food was bland and the selection of vegetables was very small. Otherwise we were very satisfied.

Very good quality breakfast, plenty of choice. Friendly service and tables and rooms decorated for Christmas. We'd love to come back.

Breakfast on December 25th with 7 people: great selection, very friendly staff, delicious food.

We have rarely experienced such great service. We went to the Patakan restaurant with a larger group with children. The reserved table was lovingly decorated. All the staff were friendly and helpful! Even small special requests were fulfilled. We will all remember this Christmas day fondly! Thank you for that!

The food (breakfast) was okay, but unfortunately a bit bland at times. Unfortunately we had a table right next to the cash registers, which disturbed the ambience a bit. Service was good. The staff was very nice and helpful. The smoothies/juices were very tasty.

I had a birthday party here for my 5yo.There have been 10 kids and just as many grown ups. Online reservation worked great. As I knew the place before, I was aware about the self service concept. Because I wanted to invite all my guests, they offered wristbands. That worked great, too. I payed an Euro extra per person for decoration. It was ok but not in the range of an extra Euro. If the cuddling toy, they placed at my son's spot, even counts, the deal was OK. (silent hint: only offer cuddling toy decoration fee) If they give it for free, u should not pay the decoration but be there like 5m before to do on ur own. The Asian food is really great. I even appreciate the fresh salads. I don't get close to so called Indian curry. Saying that it is ok for the meatballs to be kept hot for hours, grilled fish is out, too. Just do not. I tried ice creme and some coffee specials next to cake. It was all fine. So, by category, it was ok. By being been there, it is a match.

It was another wonderful morning with very tasty food. We were able to sit at our favorite table again, big compliments to the service staff!!

Ordered and paid for chicken meal. No chicken found in the soup. Food unseasoned. After complaining, there was no response from the restaurant management. Not recommended.

Basically a nice place for brunch, especially because of the adjacent zoo area. The food was tasty and the selection was good, although not huge. Service is an issue here. Everything seemed very stressed, which also hurt the ambience. The buffet was often empty and you had to wait. The hot drinks all had to be ordered at a counter. A coffee machine, like in the Kiwaralodge, does not exist here. That led to a long queue. The buffet structure was also a bit confusing and people were constantly running back and forth. The fact that some cutlery was missing to open and you had to get some yourself from the cutlery cupboard made it even less relaxing. Overall, brunch at the zoo is more recommended at the Kiwaralodge. Everything is better organized there and less stressful.

Breakfast in Gondwanaland at Leipzig Zoo. Very extensive selection and tastes very good. The service was great, we were shown to the table we ordered. Wonderful view of the tropical hall during a pleasant stay. I can only recommend it.

The food was tasty, but I didn't think the price-performance ratio was quite right. There is still some room for improvement when it comes to the friendliness of the staff.

Unfortunately the food was cold and didn't taste good. The prices are too high for this quality.

Varied and special breakfast with freshly prepared dishes such as eggs, bacon, mushrooms, soup and drinks such as freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. The fruit selection could be more varied. Unfortunately, you don't have a beautiful view of Gondwanaland from every seat, so a star deduction. Unfortunately, the children's area was also very small.

We like to eat in Patakan, it's very nice there

It was really nice to eat at Patakan. Simply a great location and really a great way to make full use of the day ticket at the zoo. The price is totally justified for the full buffet, so you can eat all day long. The only small deduction would be that the offer for vegans was rather limited, but that is super easy to update.

The ambience is very good. The reserved table was not free but another one was. The food was only very sparsely replenished at the buffet, which was a shame. There was no more butter, no more smoked fish after 10:00, there was hardly any yogurt left and no more bread. That was really a shame.

Selection was fresh. But we were missing a selection of fruit and jams for a breakfast buffet. Exotic fruit was advertised and there wasn't much fruit in general. There were exotic salads and meat/fish. Soup etc. wasn't available at 9 a.m. but only for the last hour. There is no sign as to whether you can get any egg dishes.

Super delicious brunch - it's even gotten better in the last six months; yesterday was really, really good and very friendly staff. Ambiance is no question: great! But breakfast really improved. You are welcome to have two drinks included in the price (cocoa, sparkling water, etc.)

We booked breakfast with a view of the tropical house. For us it was initially confusing as to what was included in the price and what had to be paid extra. But after asking more often, we were a little wiser. It was very nice for the kids, as birds flew in every now and then and were easy to observe. The food selection is very good, there should be something for everyone. We recommend taking the elevator to the second floor. There you have a good view of the tropical house. For us it was a good start to our visit to the zoo.

The Patakan restaurant is somewhat hidden in Gondwanaland. An insider tip for breakfast eaters on weekends as it tends to be quieter. A large selection of sausages and cheese as well as fresh salmon is just as impressive as the delicious soups from 10 a.m. - all of which are included in the price. As well as a hot drink and a fresh juice. From midday onwards, delicious Asian delicacies - dim sum is highly recommended. A delicious punch, a glass of rosé or tiger beer rounds off the dining experience. From children's birthday parties to corporate events, everything can be booked at Patakan. Employees are always friendly and hardworking when preparing food. The ambience is unbeatable, you feel like you are on vacation in Asia.

The Asian food is delicious, the ambience is right. Due to the very high outside temperatures, the stay was relaxing. We were in the restaurant with a stroller - no problem at all! The next visit to the zoo is already coming up and there will be another visit to the restaurant.

Food delicious and fresh, beautiful interior design, friendly staff... Unfortunately, the self-service is like in a canteen - constant coming and going and doesn't fit the high prices at all. Pricing based on plate sizes requires maximum concentration and creates stress - the selection of alcoholic drinks at the bar is clear and overpriced. We had to eat here because the cabaret was next door...

We had dinner at the Patakan restaurant in the evening as part of a series of events. When making the online reservation I had the opportunity to leave a welcome champagne and a decorated table. There was no trace of the champagne. The table setting consisted of a ceramic waving cat and a €1 Hawaiian necklace from Tedi. Of course, that wasn't what I had imagined for a birthday. It took a total of 3 employees to whom I presented my concern about the missing champagne until a fourth service employee finally took care of our matter, apologized and brought the champagne, at least 'on the house'. The entire team seemed completely unstructured to me. Nobody had any idea about anything. The food was beautifully presented, but we were bitterly disappointed in terms of taste for such high prices. We paid over €80 for two drinks each, without dessert. The price-performance ratio is not right here at all, as this visit to the restaurant was more like going to a canteen. We cannot currently recommend the Patakan restaurant. What a shame!

The explanation of the selection is good, the explanation of the prices is poor, at least for small people. In addition, you should not be under time pressure, for example before an evening event. The visit of a giant cockroach to the table also took some getting used to. The food made up for a lot, it was really tasty.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't really warm anymore

We had reserved a table with decorations. For 6 people. After we had already made a reservation in October and it worked out well, they obviously forgot about us this time. Too bad. We were then quickly assigned a free table. Not as ordered and without a child's chair. Can happen. The food is good, but also very expensive.

I like being in this restaurant. There are pleasant temperatures after the tropical climate on the treetop path and good food. I like the dim sum with spicy salad and the really good chilled drinks. The outdoor area of ​​the restaurant also invites you to linger and relax.

Breakfast in Gondwana Country… Very, very tasty food, with nice service, in a beautiful, extraordinary ambience. The price is a bit high, but you don't do it every day.

Nice atmosphere in Gondwanaland. We were there for the breakfast buffet. The food, as always, was of good quality. Very diverse selection and everything delicious.

The breakfast was very tasty, the selection was varied and the staff was very friendly. Everything was perfect!

We didn't see any exotic specialties from Asia? It was a completely normal breakfast with eggs, cheese, rolls, meat salad, etc. The advertising should be immediately adapted to reality.

It was a very nice, rich breakfast with a great selection! Gladly again !

This restaurant is highly recommended and is an absolute must when you are in Leipzig Zoo

If you have an annual pass to the zoo, it is affordable. The atmosphere is just great!! Employees are helpful and friendly. Food is great. A short break in the jungle! Has something👍

An air-conditioned space for dining at Godwana Land is the most highlight of the restaurant. Food is good. The selection is ok, individuality comes in through self-conditioning. The vegetarian spring rolls were ok, but rather mediocre. The semolina porridge for the kids has a lot of sugar in it. The freshly squeezed orange juice is very good.

Noodle soup was delicious, but unfortunately the price-performance ratio wasn't right for the buffet.

Food was very tasty, fresh and plentiful. There is self-service. The location is great and you can eat in a T-shirt even in winter. Not exactly cheap.

It's like a daydream in a beautiful fairy tale. Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. Thank you very much for fulfilling my special requests with the mixed drinks. I look forward to my next visit.

We went to the restaurant as a family of 17 people. We were able to optimize our online table reservations by telephone to create a large table. You can easily book online for just 8 people. reserve. Then we got wristbands that were used to book food and drinks onto the table, one of us paid and we worked it out later. We were a group aged 2 to 90 and everyone found something suitable to eat. We found our visit to the restaurant to be very relaxed and uncomplicated! Thank you very much

The ambience is very nice. The buffet prices were quite expensive, but I expect better quality. Pancakes from Marché tasted old and were probably not fresh (€3.5/piece). The beer is advertised as €5.5 on the board, but cost €5.9 at the checkout. The woman at the checkout said in Saxon dialect "Oh, then that hasn't been changed yet. But we have to stop at the checkout. I will of course pass this on." Of course she will...

Boxing Day 2023, Leipzig Zoo. Hungry at lunchtime. The self-service restaurant in Godsvanaland is then a way to satisfy your hunger. Not more than that. Three dishes full of errors. Asian ravioli with sesame oil, without sesame oil. Chicken thighs from the grill were not grilled well, the accompanying eggplant was completely saturated with oil/water or one of both. The restaurant was normally clean, staff normally friendly. Prices like in a zoo, which would have been ok if there had been good food.

It was difficult to order and get a tonic. I received a turkey steak through the group pre-order, which was cold.

I was here yesterday for a company party. The whole restaurant was booked with everything that was possible… it was absolutely great! The food was very tasty, the staff friendly and accommodating. Later in the evening it was a bit warm and perhaps some fresh air was missing. All in all a successful evening! Thanks to the team.

Very nice place with very good food in a large selection. I would love to come back!

Wir waren zum Brunch dort (Reservierung Pflicht!) Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Auswahl ist ein "normales" Buffett mit vielfach regionalen Produkten die explizit ausgewiesen sind. Zusätzlich kann man an "Suppenbar" etwas bestellen. Ein Saft sowie Kaffe/Teen/Trinkschokolade ind verschiedenen Formen ist inkl. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Bemerkung zur Platzwahl bei der Reservierung wurde beachtet. Lediglich die Wartezeiten beim Kaffe/Trinkschokolade waren sehr lange. Obwohl der Automat mehr Kapazität bietet wurden immer nur einzelne genutzt. Dadurch war der Erste Teller kalt nachdem ich mir einen Kaffee geholt hatte. Sehr schade. Das Ambiente ist schön. Auch wenn (Ortstypisch) viele Kinder anwesend sind empfand ich es als nicht zu laut. Aber sehr leise ist es logischerweise nicht. Das Restaurant ist unabhängig vom Gondwanaland klimatisiert. Zudem finde ich es unpraktisch das auch beim Brunch überall Preise dran stehen. Das Verunsichert, zumal noch (kostenpflichtige) Zusatzartikel wie Lolly, Chips annähernd in den gleichen Regalen platziert sind. Sag ich einem Kind "das ist bezahlt, nimm was du magst" könnte das kompliziert enden. Fazit: Ich kann den Brunch sehr empfehlen. Preis/Leistung ist sehr Fair. Angesichts dessen das man zusätzlich immer den Eintritt im Zoo bezahlt sollte das auch zwingend bleiben.

Essen: das Dimsum (Fisch+veggi) war lecker. besonders mit der Chilli Soße. der Fisch am Spieß war auch gut. die Suppe war mir ein wenig zu süßlich. (geschmachssache). Service: Die Kollegeinnen und Kollegen waren alle sehr nett. Alles in Allem, für SystemGastro TOP Kommen gerne wieder.

Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Service war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Preis ist etwas höher als in anderen Restaurants. Das Ambiente und der wunderschöne angelegte Regenwald macht das wieder gut. 😉

Wir waren im Rahmen eines Kabarettprogramms dort. Ich war ein bisschen enttäuscht. Andere Marche-Restaurants sind mir bekannt. Die Essensqualität war hier m. E. eher durchschnittlich. Unsere Gruppe hat am Tisch mächtig nachgwürzt. Das Personal war sehr nett. Vielen Dank dafür. Es waren einfach zu viele Gäste dort. Die vielen Warteschlangen waren störend. Zwischenzeitlich wird das Essen kalt, wenn man endlich am Platz ist.

Dafür, dass es ein Restaurant in einem Zoo ist, ist es wirklich hervorragend. Die Dim Sum waren frisch und hervorragend abgeschmeckt, das gleiche gilt für die Asia-Suppe, die Möglichkeit mit frischen Kräutern etc. das Mahl zu individualisieren ist sehr gut. Der O-Saft war frisch gepresst und geschmacklich hervorragend. Die Bedienungen waren sehr freundlich. Alles ist preislich sehr verständlich und übersichtlich ausgeschildert (an die Preismeckerer: Lesen Hilft!!). Insgesamt eine Bereicherung unseres Zoobesuches!

Wir waren am 14.07.23 anlässlich der Funzel Veranstaltung im Zoo dort im Restaurant zum Abendessen. Es war toll.

Kann dieses Restaurant nur empfehlen! Essen & Service sind absolut top! Außerdem geht die Erlebniswelt des Gondwanalands hier weiter :).

Geschmacklich gut. Leckere Salate und Dips. Etwas unübersichtliches Bezahl-Prinzip für Buffet: Feste Preise für verschiedene Tellergrößen für Salat und Beilagen. Fleisch, Fisch und auch manche andere Dinge kosten extra. Das ist beim ersten Mal etwas schwierig zu überschauen.

Ein typisch asiatisches Restaurant im Gondwanaland vom Zoo Leipzig. Wer hier schön gemütlich und lecker frühstücken möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Tolles Ambiente, gute Küche und nettes Personal. Ähnlich wie in der Kiwara Lodge, nur ruhiger. Wir kommen garantiert gerne wieder. 😊

Die Toiletten sind sehr schmutzig und laufen teilweise sogar über. Für mich gab es hänchen, es war sehr trocken ähnlich wie der Reis für einen kleinen Teller zahlt man schnell 30€

Dieses Restaurant ist sehr cool und verlängert das Thema "Tropen". Lecker.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, nur 2 Mitarbeiter am Buffet waren sehr unflexibel, 1 Stunde vor Feierabend werden volle Behälter vom Buffet entfernt mit der Begründung "die gibt es jetzt nicht mehr", auch nach mehrfacher Nachfrage, das ist sehr Kundenunfreundlich. Ich würde eine Mitarbeiterschulung vorschlagen. Wahrscheinlich wollten die Beiden pünktlich Feierabend haben.

Waren als große Gruppe am Sonntag hier, unkompliziert und Preis-Leistung stimmt

Vom Stil ein sehr schönes Restaurant. Was etwas ernüchternd ist, ist das es erstmal wie ein All-You-Can-Eat aussieht, es dies aber nicht ist und man per Teller bezahlt. Trotzdem ziemlich lecker. Vor allem SEHR empfehlenswert: die Ananas-Chili-Sauce!

Das Ambiente ist sehr angenehm. Die musikwahl könnte passe der gewählt werden, als aktuelle EU-Pophits.... Marché ruht sich beim Essen völlig darauf aus, dass es im Gondwanaland keine Konkurrenz gibt. Geschmacklich total fad. Jeder mir bekannte 08/15-Imbiss macht besseres Essen.

Die Qualität in den Marché-Restaurants sinkt seit Jahren. 3,20€ für leicht gelb gefärbtes Wasser, das als Fanta verkauft wird und nochmal 3€ für Kuchen aus der Kühltruhe. Schade.

Uns hat es gut gefallen.Das Essen war lecker, vielleicht ein wenig mehr Auswahl.

Hier im Restaurant gibt es die meines Erachtens besten vegetarischen Dim Sum. Gab es, muss es nun leider heißen. Seit Beginn der Pandemie habe ich mich darauf gefreut, endlich wieder einmal Dim Sum zu essen. Im Laufe des Jahres hieß es dann bei einem Besuch unter der Woche: "Dim Sum gibt es nur noch am Wochenende.". Dann hieß es: "Dim Sum gehören nicht zum Brunch.". Und nun, am heutigen Samstag, gibt es keine vegetarischen Dim Sum, so dass ich wieder hungrig bleibe. Den "Ersatz", vegetarische Frühlingsrollen, kann ich an jedem Imbiss kaufen.

Wir waren zu unserem Zoobesuch hier. Das Essen konnte auf 3 verschiedene Tellergrößen (Preise stehen dabei) selbst aufgetan werden. So ist für jeden Hunger etwas dabei. Aus mehreren vegetarischen Gerichten haben wir uns einen Teller zusammengestellt. Alles war frisch und lecker. Für Preisaufschlag, gab es auch Fisch- und Fleischvarianten. Preise und Angebot sind verständlich dargestellt. Auf Fragen wurde freundlich reagiert.

Preis und Leistung stehen nicht im Verhältnis. Die Qualität der Speisen ist mittelmäßig, der Preis hingegen nicht. Das Ambiente an sich gefällt mir jedoch gut.

Wir waren heute zum Geburtstag meiner Freundin vor Ort. Der Stern Abzug ist meine Enttäuschung- ich hatte den Tisch reserviert mit Bemerkung bitte Deko für Geburtstag aufstellen wenn möglich - egal was - es werden dort genug Kindergeburtstage gemacht, Luftballon oder Luftschlange - ich hätte es auch bezahlt - wir kommen an, sie mit Geburtstagskrönchen - nackter Tisch - das habe ich ehrlich gesagt auch nicht nicht erlebt und finde das super schade, weil das Restaurant echt mega ist. Tolle Vielfalt, Preis- Leistung passt, frisch gepresste Säfte, für Kinder perfekt geeignet mit toller Spielecke. Wir sind super gerne hier, kommen auch gerne wieder - nur nicht zu Feierlichkeiten. Meine Freundin war seitdem sie Mama ist mit ihrem Freund nicht mehr Essen (4 Jahre), da wollte ich ihr etwas Besonderes schenken.

Ambiance is so nice. Food was good and prices were normal. The stuff was so friendly and helpful. We recommend!

Zusammen mit einer Zooführung hatten wir im Patakan für unsere 25 Gäste und uns einen Tropenlunch gebucht. Der Tisch war reserviert, das Essen und die Organisation im Restaurant sehr gut. Unsere Gäste waren von der Vielfalt der Speisen und Getränke beeindruckt und begeistert. Im Lunchpreis sind Heißgetränke inklusive, das Bufett lädt zum endlosen Schlemmen ein. Gerne wieder und absolut weiterzuempfehlen.

Das schlechteste Restaurant im ganzen Zoo. Das Essen ist geschmacklos, kalt und viel zu teuer. Geht lieber in den Palmengarten am Eingang.

War lecker, Restaurant war sauber und Personal sehr freundlich.

Nicht ganz billig... aber lecker 😋

Was für eine Enttäuschung! Wir haben uns so auf Pho mit Glasnudeln und Pute gefreut und auch bezahlt. Leider wurde das Fleisch vergessen und die Suppe war so geschmacksneutral, dass auch alles Nachwürzen nichts half. Wenn meine Kids da mehr als die Hälfte stehen lassen, haut was nicht hin... Mit ging es aber genau so. Hübsch anzuschauen, ansonsten suchen wir beim nächsten Besuch definitiv eine andere Versorgung. Schade!
