Max Enk

Magic. And underpriced. Leipzig has only few really satisfying upscale foody-food places. This is one of them. Visiting in October, we had a seasonal slow-food set menu with autumny dishes like turnip soup, cabbage and pork. This may sound based, but the nice people at Max Enk make this a taste adventure and pair it with five local (Saxon and Saale-Unstrut) wines. The staff was not only friendly but incredibly attentive, knowledge and witty. We had a full set menu with additional starters, the full set of accompanying wines, coffee, pralines, and a spirit - for 160 Euros. Way too cheap.

Really nice and clean, good place to eat delicious food and drink a fantastic wine! Totally recommend this restaurant! Kudos for the service and atmosphere!

The steaks are amazing with various salts and peppers they serve together. Scallops as an appetizer were delicious although they were a bit salty. Drinks are great, too. If you go to this place, I'd recommend having a steak, either fillet or stripe. The service wasn't as attentive as I'd expected, but it could be the European thing. :)

We’ve checked online reservation web and it’s all fully booked , luckily we wrote an email and also making phone call, then we got our seats ! We had the Max Menu 79€ , the rote bete carpaccio is very interesting idea combine with baked fish , but maybe personal taste , I didn’t feel quite matching ! The beef soup is nice and light , the fish and the Duck breast are well done !! 👏 Dessert is also nice ! Service is rather cold from the beginning but gets better afterwards! Some waitress are a bit shy though ! I guess Max Enk must have ambition to get the Michelin award , keep on and go for it ! I think if the service team can make some better adjustments, and I am sure you will have it soon !!

Great place to be and to eat. In a calm and cozy courtyard near Leipzig town center. Very nice and friendly staff - attentive and discreet. An upscale place to stay for some hours. Food is extra-ordinary good - one of the best steaks I ever had: medium rare as ordered and buttery on the tongue. Prices are a bit higher but fitting the high class service and food.

Food was great. Service was good up to the wine choice. Wine was extremely disappointing. We looked up the wine which is available in the uk. Which made us convinced that our assessment of the wine delivered was that it was wrong. This was refuted by the restaurant manager who would not change it without us paying again for another bottle. So, we had to accept it l, so we poured the wine into the wine cooler so that it could not be resold to an unsuspecting customer. Sad end to an otherwise very good meal. On this experience we have decided to move on from Leipzig as soon as possible tomorrow rather than spend anymore time in the city. A tragic end to this part of our journey.

One of the best diner I’ve had in a while! The truffe pasta were perfect, the beef filet was as tender as it could be and the desert was very good. Service is professional and nice. Location is great, in the center of the city. Definitely worth trying the “Der max cocktail”.

I love their high ceiling! I’ve been there many times. The service is good and the food is delicious overall. Waiters and waitresses made efforts of speaking English too which I appreciated.

Very good food. Service was attentive without being overbearing, very friendly and welcoming. Nice conversation.
