Wenzel Leipzig in Leipzig

An unserem 48. Hochzeitstag waren wir in Leipzig und haben uns für den 10.03. dieses Restaurant im Vorfeld ausgesucht. Da sich unsere 9 stündige Zugfahrt nach Leipzig um etwa 20 Minuten verspätet hat, wurden wir von der Bedienung zuerst gemaßregelt, dass wir ein paar Minuten zu spät waren. Die im Nachhinein unnatürlich aufgesetzte Freundlichkeit hat uns fast zum Verlassen des Restaurants veranlasst, aber bedingt durch die anstrengende Anreise sind wir dort geblieben. Das Essen und die Getränke waren o.k., wobei die Vorspeise der Knödel-Pommes sehr gut war.

Burger and veal ragout (dish of the day) very tasty, beer drinkable. Prices reasonable. Service was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Always happy. Friendly service, good drinks and good food. The prices are okay. Everything you would expect from a restaurant.

The service is very good and attentive. The food was super tasty. In my opinion the portions are a bit small but all in all absolutely recommended.

Great Czech restaurant with authentic flavors and a cozy atmosphere. The food is delicious, especially the svíčková served in a generous portion. Friendly staff and an excellent beer selection make it a must-visit!

The food doesn't have much to do with Czech specialties and the quality is just okay.

A super quaint restaurant. Great, nice service. The food was very tasty and I drank an elderberry beer…highly recommended.

Super tasty food, friendly and fast service. Everything perfect.

A different direction in the menu... Food was very tasty but the beer is a little better... It's a bit off the beaten track but that's what makes it interesting... We'll definitely be back...

Eating (lunch) at Wenzel again for a long time. Hearty Bohemian cuisine. Whether it's goulash, smoked pork, dumplings, solyanka, it all tastes good. The homemade lemonades are also recommended. There is a children's menu for the little ones, which could be a little bigger. If the child doesn't find anything themselves, they can safely order the Karlsbad Taler for the little ones. Potato rösti always works... And adults like a portion of salmon with it. Friendly and courteous staff complete the experience. Gladly again

The food is of very good quality and tastes excellent - the beef roulade and the goulash are particularly highly recommended. Service was friendly and attentive, despite the restaurant being busy on a Friday evening. The atmosphere is cozy, with a beautiful courtyard and a rustic ambience. A reservation is definitely advisable as the restaurant seems to be very popular. Overall, a clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food, friendly service and an authentic, relaxed atmosphere! I'd love to come back.

The food is good. The Wenceslas knuckle is sufficient. The garlic soup is a delight.

Very tasty food, fast service and a rustic atmosphere. Have been there several times.

Very good atmosphere, Czech cuisine, interesting rooms...

We were here on business and had reserved in advance. Since I have been to Prague many times and really like the cuisine and the beers, the bar was set very high. And I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. I'll definitely be happy to come back here.

Nice restaurant with Bohemian cuisine and corresponding beer.

Portions are extremely small. Self-dispensing system only works to a limited extent. All clothes smell like food after the visit.

I come here every now and then when I want something hearty and hearty. Good beer selection. The Topinka is great, even if it doesn't come with garlic cloves like in the Czech Republic, but everything is very fresh. Friendly staff even in the most stressful situations.

Had lunch here spontaneously on a weekend without a reservation. Staff friendly. Ambience quite nice. However, the table is a bit cramped due to the table legs being too wide. The food was delicious, no question. But nothing special either. What was not at all satisfactory was the size of the portion. The goulash with dumplings was very small. There was also little meat in the goulash. I couldn't get enough for around 21 euros. There was hardly anything on the plate with the chicken breast with oven-roasted vegetables. You would also look in vain for a supplement here. Price for the beer 0.5 almost 6 euros. For me, the price/performance isn't right at all, which is why it's ultimately only enough for 3 stars. For me it was the first and last visit. Sorry!

Quaint restaurant with Bohemian specialties. The menu has something for everyone...for veggies but also hearty things for meat lovers. Service is friendly and quick. We felt very comfortable - will be back. 😉

Very nice and rustic. I ate the knuckle and it was damn good. Definitely recommended.

Enjoy your meal Waited quite a long time for food.

Quaint restaurant, friendly service, not a long waiting time, delicious food, good price-performance ratio. People with reduced mobility are also taken into account here - there is an elevator to the toilets, no steps but rather sloping areas. Thank you

Very good food and very good service

Good food as in all restaurants in this chain. Very good beer selection.

Very nice Czech-style restaurant

Great food and friendly service.

Very nice place , i totally recommend it

A number of Czech cuisine specialties are offered here, you can stay in a cheap hostel right next door, nice staff, I was very satisfied and the ambience was fine.

Simply wonderful, great staff, delicious food, nice, clean atmosphere. At first I had a not so attractive seat. When I asked, I immediately got a great seat. I'd love to come back.

A wonderful restaurant. It was rustic and absolutely delicious. The burgers were juicy and the dumpling fries...I've never had anything like that before. Highly recommended and also filling. We look forward to seeing you again.

It was our first time in this restaurant and we were greeted very rudely by the waitress as soon as we entered. Unfortunately, her bad mood didn't improve. The food was ok, but portions were manageable. Too bad

Mediocre beer, cold service, average atmosphere. The food reminded me of my high school cantine - cheap ingredients, poorly prepared. In that sense, this place does a good job of presenting an authentic experience of a Czech restaurant. Just a really bad one, stuck in the socialist era.

Had our Christmas lunch with our management team at Wenzel. From the appointment, to the food, to the service, everything was top 👍 We'd love to come back :)

Food and restaurant very good. Likewise the service. Always happy.

Rudest service I've ever seen. Sat at an available table ordered drinks. The exceptionally rude waitress then came and put a reserved card on the table and shouted at us to move. Avoid

Nice restaurant with delicious Bohemian cuisine. Unfortunately, one star is deducted because we wanted to swap the dumplings for dumplings in one dish, but we were told that there were only a few dumplings left and that was therefore not possible. The request of a guest who was already there was ignored in order to serve possible guests who were not there yet. Unfortunately for me that is not the appreciation that I would expect in a good restaurant.

Great place. Nice service and great food. We had dinner with four people. All dishes were very tasty and the portions were perfect. The price-performance ratio was also very good. The Bohemian dumplings were something new but very tasty. The dumpling fries are also highly recommended. We had different beers while we ate, which tasted very good. There was nothing to complain about when it came to dessert either. The three dumplings are highly recommended. The evening was a great experience and I will definitely come back!

Ein gemütliches feines Restaurant mit verdammt tollen Service und super Küche. Beste Tschechische Speisen außerhalb von Tschechien. Macht weiter so

We had dinner here on Friday evening with a larger group of 9 people. The restaurant was very busy and the service was initially very stressed. At the beginning our drink order also went missing, so we had to wait a little longer. The beef goulash tasted very good, although the dumplings were a bit dry. All in all we were satisfied.

Top Bohemian cuisine and beers, and even better service! I'd love to come back next time I'm in Leipzig!

One of the best restaurants where you can enjoy the authentic taste of German cuisine.❤️

Had dinner at 3:00 p.m. Quite crowded locally. Ambience good. Unfortunately we were treated badly by the waitress. We had a birthday voucher that included champagne, but we didn't want it. Service was incredibly rude and unfriendly. Don't know how you can treat guests like that. We then pointed this out to her and reacted even worse. It's unbelievable how something like this works

We were totally thrilled The food comes quickly and tastes super delicious The staff is very friendly The toilets are also super clean A visit is definitely worth it

Food was okay, service was okay, but not a restaurant I would visit again!

Be sure to try the dumpling fries! Very thoughtful staff, delicious food, great beer selection. A visit is definitely worth reserving in advance!

Very antisocial staff who did not show any form of hospitality. The server misunderstood something and blamed us. Definitely go somewhere else

We wanted to stop by early Friday evening. Although all tables were reserved, we still managed to get two seats for a good hour. The beer tasted great.

Discovered by chance while strolling. We actually just wanted to drink a beer, but ended up eating a little something. Yummy.

Very tasty Czech food. Unfortunately the portions are a bit too small. This means the price-performance ratio is somewhat higher. A very nice location for that. The employees are a little too stressed, so the guests notice it too. But potential is there. Worth a visit.

Delicious food, friendly service, rustic atmosphere

Good but not outstanding food combined with good beer and very friendly service.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed last Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024, when we wanted to visit Wenceslas around 4 p.m.! We were intercepted by the waiter at the door with the words……really bad right now, maybe in an hour 🙁🤔. Without any explanation or further communication (there were enough tables) we were simply sent away! Something like that is simply not hospitality and we have never experienced it anywhere. Since we have often gone to Wenzel, whether in Dresden, Leipzig or Warnemünde, we are unfortunately done with it for now.

Wir waren am Wochenende als 7 köpfige Gruppe im Wenzel essen. Wir hatten im Vorfeld reserviert, was auch nötig war, denn es war brechend voll. Wir können vor den Mitarbeitern nur den Hut ziehen! Der überall vorhandene Personalmangel hat offenbar auch hier Einzug gehalten und macht es den verbleibenden Kräften unglaublich schwer! Wir haben die Theke beobachtet (wir saßen direkt dahinter) und haben uns gefragt, wie nur 1 Mensch es überhaupt schaffen kann, die Getränke für ein volles Haus zu zapfen und auszuschenken. Unglaublich! Jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter war trotz dieses wahnsinnigen Stresses ausgesprochen nett und konnte trotzdem noch lächeln. Es wurde sich sogar dafür entschuldigt, dass die Getränke recht lange gedauert haben, obwohl wir genau sehen konnten, daß es einfach unmöglich war, hinter dem Tresen noch schneller zu sein. Das Essen war hervorragend und wir wurden sehr zuvorkommend bedient. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend! Wir bedanken uns und hoffen, daß sich die personelle Situation wieder bessert, damit die verbleibenden Mitarbeiter irgendwann wieder auf ein normales Stresslevel runter fahren können.

Be careful: rip-off! I said 3 times, TAP WATER and still I got sparkling water. A friend who doesn't speak German also ordered "tap water" and got the same water. It was completely annoying to see that I had to spend an additional 7.20. I would definitely avoid it.

Absolutely disappointing - 0 stars would be appropriate Our visit was a complete disappointment. We wanted to toast our engagement here, but the evening was completely ruined for us. We were simply ignored by the service staff for over 30 minutes - not a look, not a word, nothing. It was only after half an hour that our order was even taken. After another 18 minutes the food came, but still no drinks. When asked, the waitress reacted annoyed and unfriendly and actually asked if she should take the food back with her. The Bohemian quartet I ordered was served to me in fruit juice glasses, without a foam head - absolutely inedible. When I commented on this, the beer was carelessly poured into the same glass and I was also scolded for having “almost twice as much beer”. We traveled an hour extra and would understand a lot of activity or stress - but not for being ignored for 30 minutes and then treated so disrespectfully. Instead of completely overlooking the guests, you could simply communicate stress. It's not possible to take the bad mood out on the guest. And if glasses are missing, you can say so - but don't serve them so unprofessionally and carelessly and then insult the guests. We have never experienced such poor service - absolutely not recommended.

A great location that impressed us as soon as we walked in. The menu has a lot to offer. At the neighboring table, guests could tap their own beer. So also a nice highlight for events. Despite the size and high number of visitors, we didn't have to wait long for our food. And it was delicious. In between we kept asking whether we were happy and satisfied and whether we needed anything else. The service staff is not just polite, they are also very friendly. You impressed us, we will definitely come back!

No doubt, you are in good hands here in every respect. A big compliment to the staff, they are quick with an overview and commitment. And the beers and food are at least as good as in the Czech Republic

Rustic ambience and the dumpling fries are awesome, whether hearty or sweet! The burger was homemade and really great, not like at various chains!

Nice restaurant with friendly staff, the food was delicious - portions too small for our taste, but also cheaper. Prices were generally okay, but I would rather describe the restaurant as German cuisine since there were more German dishes on the menu. The furnishings were quite nice, more suitable for larger events/mass crowds and quickly and cheaply with lots of seats. But that's not the problem.

Very well prepared food, atmosphere and service were ok. Majority of offered beers are coming from Czech, but you can find some from germany as well. Recommended for dinner, great place!

The food is amazing. We had schnitzel with Brussels sprouts and potatoes. The service is really nice and will complete your order as quickly as possible. Is recommended.

It was very worth it. The food was really good 👍🏻😋

Highly recommended!!! Always happy!!!

Ate very well and drank delicious beer. The children's portions are relatively cheap and reasonably large. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, although he had to rotate quite a bit due to the very limited staff (2 cellars for the whole place, if I saw it correctly).

As always, the food was delicious and there was a good selection of beer. Very attentive and friendly service. Everything was perfect.

Very nice restaurant and child friendly. Had very friendly service. Food was great, we would love to come back.

Hi, I had the knuckle with dumplings and cabbage. I returned the food because of cold sauce and cold dumplings. It came back, new plate, warm dumplings and sauce. Far from the hot food, I didn't return it again because it wouldn't have changed. The first and last visit for me. Unfortunately, the waitress is not able to give out €50 for a €30 bill. Incredible!!!

We were assigned a seat. The guests after us were all served. We were looking forward to rolling the dice... and Bohemian beer. They were ignored. We then left. The waitress didn't care... It's a shame for everyone else Locations are charming..

Super friendly staff, very good food and great beer selection. It was a cozy evening 👍🏻

Great restaurant Fast service Roast beef with Bohemian dumplings was delicious

Delicious Bohemian dishes and good beer. The staff is friendly and the prices are okay

Very tasty food, service very nice

It's okay, maybe I personally didn't think it was that great

Bohemian food and beers. All in all ok

Super nice service and would love to come back. Food was great and drinks too Until December 9, 2024

Already waited 25 minutes for dessert, everything is going really slowly, they should make zap zascharab (and small portions)

We ate there with a larger group. We looked at the menu beforehand and picked out something nice. Unfortunately the original menu was not available, only a very slimmed down version. Unfortunately, the meal we wanted was no longer there. We didn't like that. Unfortunately, the food that was there didn't appeal to us. So we chose something out of necessity. Unfortunately, that was definitely the end of the evening for me. Too bad. First of all, everything was very similar on the map. It just wasn't to our taste. You should think about your selection. The garlic soup had hardly any flavor. But you can argue about tastes. The goulash had little meat. The warm chocolate cake made up for a lot. The service did a very good job. If I come to Leipzig again, I will visit this restaurant as a private person and try the other food and then change the review if necessary. The ambience was appealing. Also with the outside seating options.

We're here with a group of 30 people, so we only got a slimmed-down menu to choose from. The service is very friendly and polite, they look after the guest! Big praise for this! The food does not correspond to the price-performance ratio, the Kassler slice was much too thin, the dumplings were much too much, the same with other dishes! The chocolate cake was rock hard, no liquid core...all in all not recommended...unfortunately! We wouldn't choose this restaurant again, even if we were guests of the company and didn't have to pay anything

So the service was very nice, the food, I've rarely seen such a small portion anywhere. My wife had chicken breast with oven-roasted vegetables. On the plate there were three half potatoes, a bit of vegetables and a mini chicken breast. OK, then another one was served because the plate looked really funny. I had a whole knuckle that was also very small, so for what we paid and left hungry, it was a no-go for me - it was children's portions.

Nice restaurant with quick service. Prices are reasonable and reasonable.

Spacious beer halls with all kinds of beer and a menu. We tasted the original pancakes in the Czech Republic. There is no impression of mass processing as the guest tables are spaced out spatially. Recommended!

Very good food and a wide range of beer😉

Traditional Czech food 😋, it was delicious, they've some option in the menu. Czech beers 🍺 ... Highly recommended 👍. Traditional Czech food 😋. Very tasty, they have a few options on the menu. Good Czech beers🍺, highly recommended👍.

Delicious food, many good types of beer invite you to linger

Pleasant restaurant in Leipzig. The food was good, but unfortunately a bit expensive for the quality. There were 2 conditions on site. One was very friendly and accommodating, the other one could tell that it wasn't her best day. The service seemed a bit unfriendly and overwhelmed. It took about 70 minutes from ordering to eating. As everyone knows, taste can be debated, but overall we were happy with the food.

Yesterday I was at Wenzel in Leipzig. I personally cannot understand the many very good reviews. Personally, I thought it was okay at best. The service staff greeted me promptly, but somehow the service seemed a bit lackluster to me the whole time. The food was on the table relatively quickly. The beer goulash with dumplings wasn't anything special. Maybe I somehow expected more. But okay. Neither the taste nor the presentation (which for me wasn't far from a canteen) was a highlight, hence the meager 2 stars. I sat down on a bench and table combination in front of the restaurant. Personally, I'm relatively tall, so the ratio wasn't right for you. That was a problem for me personally because I couldn't change anything. But probably not everyone has this problem. Conclusion: Unfortunately I went back to the hotel with my expectations not fulfilled. I'm sure it will only last one visit to this location.

Czech and Saxon food restaurant. The dishes we ordered, very well prepared and abundant. Normal price. Nice place

Good, fresh Czech beers from the tap. Very friendly service. Recommended for a pit-stop, but I haven't tried the food this time.

Restaurante de comida checa y sajona. Los platos que pedimos, muy bien elaborados y abundantes. El codillo era muy bueno. Precio normal. Local agradable

As always a pleasure 😀, We caught up with my husband's birthday. With sparkling wine and a great meal it was great as always!

I thought it was great there, I had the käsespätzle and my partner had a roast that I can't pronounce. It was a great service

Good food, good service. Rustic atmosphere. We'll be back. Very close to good Czech food.

We were regular customers and enjoyed visiting often. Now our son's customer card apparently didn't work in the cash register system and he couldn't take advantage of the benefits he was promised. We had two free drinks and only got one, which we only noticed later on the receipt. One of our guests was late and was pretty much dismissed by the waitress. It's a shame that was our last visit to this restaurant!

Very large Czech restaurant. Very nice service and very child-friendly. There is even a whole play castle in the restaurant. The food was very good. The meat of the smoked knuckle falls off the bone and was very tasty. The roast beef was a bit lacking in meat.

Very good restaurant with Bohemian cuisine in the heart of Leipzig. The prices are completely acceptable for what is offered and for the Leipzig price level. The portions are okay, if you have a big appetite we recommend adding cabbage or salad for just under 4 euros. The selection of Czech beers is great, the staff very friendly and attentive. Our order came to the table very quickly and we enjoyed it.

Price-performance match! Friendly service & super delicious food. We went to this restaurant twice in a row.👍Our kids loved the dumplings with brown sauce and dumpling fries! 😉

Napkin dumplings were very tasty. The Kässpätzle is rather simple and certainly too expensive. The lemonades are highly recommended. Overall, too much money for simple food.

Estaba bien, el camarero no era amable y el pescado pedido demasiado cocido y seco. Mala suerte. Las verduras estaban buenas y muy bien cocinadas. No demasiado caro.

The Wenzel has always been our first address when we were in Leipzig. Quality hasn't decreased, prices have gone up a bit, but we were shocked by the note in the menu. The claim that the tax has been increased to 19% is simply false. It was only levied back again after the tax had been reduced in the meantime. However, the prices for customers were not adjusted when they were reduced to 7%. We also found the reference to card payments to be populist. When sales are so large, it's important to accept card payments. You don't have to cry to the customer. Card payment is part of good service in a restaurant of this size!
