Planerts Restaurant

From the moment I entered till I left, I felt welcome. To be honest, I am not a salad person, but I enjoyed every bit of mine (the starter) and would order it again. The main dish was not spicy enough for me, but I appreciate that this was due to the style of cooking. Yet again, I left a clean plate. The dessert was perfect!! It's definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food, elevated delicate and delicious flavors. Nothing to fault , simply an excellent meal. Most visit for fine dining.

The first place I dined upon arriving in Leipzig was not disappointing at all. The waiter was welcoming and knowledgeable about food and wine. While the menu wasn't extensive, quantity does not always equate to quality. We were thoroughly pleased with our choice. My entrée was a salad with roasted avocado. I could easily be persuaded to become a vegetarian. The suite was just as delicious.

Excellent service. They explain to you the food as well as the wine. Speaks English and also offers menu in English. Love the modern homey environment of the restaurant. Food is nicely presented and taste good as well.

I’m not giving 5 stars for the food is because their beef tartare is way too salty. I went there twice. The menu were the same even if it’s a year a part between my visits. The beef tartare is the same too salty. The service is very good. The price is almost at Michelin’s level.

3.5/5 Second time at Planerts. Tried a different choice for the three course menu. Some good high notes (fish is well cooked, especially the halibut) but dishes lacked balance overall, you might expect a little bit better execution for the price (3 course menu comes at 70, plus wine pairing makes it 100 euros). Staff is young but involved - they just need a little bit more of time and experience for recommending wines and food. Still a solid choice in leipzig.

This restaurant has high ambitions, but for our Friday night dining, they unfortunately fell short. It was a very quiet night, with maybe 3 or 4 tables filled, and two staff in the kitchen and one doing service. Contrary to their website and the ad on the door, they only opened at 19 instead of 18 o'clock. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, and the interior tasteful. Unfortunately, we were somewhat cold, and even after the waiter said they'd turn up the heat, this was not resolved. The food is ambitious, and overall above average. But it does not match their ambitions or their price range: the mustard overpowered the avocado, and the tuna almost a non-entity. The quail egg was fried too long. The same flavor imbalance was obvious in the dim sum, where the semi-dry cherry tomatoes overwhelmed the otherwise interesting, I dare say fascinating, combination of fresh herbs entirely. The associated soy-tomato sauce was thin and weak. The soup was solid, even if the baked rice served an unclear purpose. The most disappointing dish was the Thai curry with halibut. The fish was not just firm, but downright dry and clearly too long in the pan. Fish should not be brittle! And the curry sauce strangely reminded me considerably of the soup before. My company had the duck however, and that was well executed, cooked to the point, and tasty. The dessert was very good. While the cream cheese foam was just slightly grainy (my guess: the white chocolate wasn't well tempered?), the passion fruit, dark chocolate mousse and milk chocolate mousse, and the outstanding cassis coconut layers were very well done indeed. Service was very friendly and professional. Overall, my best guess is that we hit either an unlucky day or the quality has declined since the ratings were awarded.

Stopped in here for lunch whilst exploring the city. Food was great and the service super! Totally recommend! Would defo come back to try dinner 🍽️
