Overview
The Neues Gewandhaus attracts visitors not only with its concerts — the kitchen of "Stadtpfeiffer" is equally sought after. Since 2001, Petra and Detlef Schlegel have enriched Leipzig's dining scene with heart and commitment, interpreting classic French cuisine in a modern way through two menus (one vegetarian), built on first-class produce — regional and seasonal wherever possible, as well as from their own herb garden. The name goes back to the "Leipziger Stadtpfeifer" of the 18th century, predecessors of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. [1]
Dishes & Highlights
- Two menus, one of them vegetarian
- Representative dish: "venison, mustard, grape" — pleasantly clear, with its own handwriting and without gimmicks
