Leipzig has always had a reputation for its wonderful hospitality - for example, the traditional Auerbachs Keller restaurant and fine dining at gourmet restaurants. Known as "Drallewatsch" in local Saxon dialect, the area between Brühl and the New Town Hall via Fleischergasse has a string of eating and drinking places ranging from rustic restaurants to bars with live music. The "Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum" coffee house, one of Europe's oldest, has also seen some famous visitors in its time.Auerbachs Keller
Auerbachs Keller is the authentic historical cellar restaurant featured in "Faust", the drama by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Today it is still the same as it has been for generations - both before and after Goethe's time. The menu on offer in the various rooms always features a "set meal from Saxony", a "small set meal", a "large set meal" and a choice of dishes prepared using the freshest seasonal ingredients.Stadtpfeiffer
