AUERBACHS KELLER
Go there and contact
Auerbachs Keller is a legendary place in Leipzig and all over Germany. A reputation that it owes to a certain Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who made it his canteen when he was a student at the local university. This 450-year-old cellar, with its statues at the entrance, was the setting for the novel Faust, one of the novelist's masterpieces. Very subtly integrated under the famous Mädler Passage, Auerbachs Keller houses two excellent tables. The Grosser Keller on the one hand, nestled in a vast vaulted gallery. It is a well-run brasserie, which had no difficulty in imposing its traditional German menus on visitors, particularly its meat and game dishes, drawing heavily on Saxon and Thuringian recipes. Meanwhile, in front of it, stand the Historische Weinstuben, an offer of select taverns, which are divided into four friendly and distinct spaces, shaped between the 16th and 19th centuries: here we find the Fasskeller, the Lutherzimmer, the Goethezimmer and the reception hall called "Alt-Leipzig", famous for its wall paintings and its gastronomic requirements. Based on regional ingredients and a few more southern influences, each of these Weinstuben distills over time a fine and inventive cuisine, sprinkled at every moment with exceptional wines.
