Auerbachs Keller

One of Leipzig’s most famous eateries, the historic Auerbachs Keller, originally was a beer hall with roots dating back to 1538, but today it also serves splendid traditional Saxon food. Literary giant Goethe used to frequent the place for drinks, and immortalised the venue when he used it as the setting for the scene in which Faust dines with the devil. The Auerbachs Keller, and its Barrell Cellar where the scene from Faust has been recreated, is simply a must when in Leipzig.

Dining

Leipzig offers a wide variety of great restaurants, serving both international food and traditional Saxon dishes such as Schnitzel, dumplings and roast pork. The Leipziger also have a passionate love for coffee: as coffee houses became the most popular meeting places as early as in 1695, it therefore comes as no surprise that the city also has a wide range of cosy cafés, one of them ranking among the most famous in the world.
