"It doesn't have a Michelin rosette (yet), but it comes with a Michelin recommendation of 'good standard', and it is certainly that and more.Max Enk has a cool and stylish pale grey interior, with white napery and dark bent-wood chairs that add a lightness to dining. It's true, it isn't the two-rosette Falco atop Leipzig's rather vulgarly tall Westin hotel, but its situation in the covered courtyard of an old department store gives it a much more established grace and airiness, and the contemporary art on the walls accents the triumph of funky post-modernism over splashily impressive brutalism, even if you do miss out on the view.The food is to match. As I'd recently spent a week in the Czech Republic, and the previous evening eating fabulous Saxon weightiness at Auerbach's, I wasn't up for the whole tasting menu - albeit that the elegant portions were manageable - so I ate à la carte.I began with 'Sunchoke essence', the lightest, most flavoursome broth imaginable - a deliciously extraordinary clear soup made from artichokes, accompanied by a small falafel and a slice of fried aubergine; the perfect temptation for someone who has been overdoing it slightly on the food front. I opted for wine by the glass, and with this, I chose a rounded Hambacher Grauburgunder (that's a German version of Pinot Grigio to you), and it slipped down a treat, the roundness (it wasn't over-flowery) complementing the artichoke taste exactly.Next I tried a house (and local) speciality: Leipziger allerlei - essentially a chunky fish soup with lots of vegetables. I have to say that you need to like carrots, as this really is the predominant vegetable here (it's supposed to be). There were a couple of varieties included in the mix, so, along with the asparagus, mange-touts and radishes, they made for a burst of colour. I accompanied this with a wine that they told me was a bit special, and by goodness it was. If it's possible to get hold of this in the UK, I'm ordering a load of it. It's a German Muskat by Tinhof. Not at all sweet, but wonderfully, fabulously complex and floral on the nose. Just right for this jaded old diner. The taste and aroma mingled in a surreal way with the heady scent of Madonna lilies coming from a large vase of them on the central table.'Chocolate Extreme!' came next - a combination dessert that was a lot lighter than you'd imagine - essentially small pieces of assorted chocolate pastries, marinated pineapple, and a generous quenelle of lush chocolate ice cream. With this an unctuous pudding wine - Sweetheart (Oliver Zeter), a sauvignon blanc from the Pfalz.Coffee and some posh schnapps (in this case a 'milk liqueur' - like Bailey's for grown-ups) completed a magnificent meal. Do go - it's not cheap (of course), but neither is it ruinously expensive; my meal weighed in at around £75."

Exceptional Quality! Dont miss this restaurant. The food was very good. My husband had wienersnitzel and I had grilled prawn with potatogratain and sause de beainaisse.

Pricey but worth it! The service could be faster (we were the only ones in the restaurant and we had to wait at least 25 minutes between each course) but the atmosphere is nice and the waiting staff was very friendly.

Although our food was fine, it was nothing to write home about. The service was attentive but not warm or very welcoming. I found the avant garde decor to be very distracting and almost unsettling - like I suddenly found myself in the movie Beetlejuice. It was not the most tranquil of places. The wine list was good and was probably the best part. Keep you money and spend it somewhere else. Leipzig has a lot more to offer.

I have visited Max Enk several times in the past two months, both with friends and family and with business partners for lunch as well as for dinner. I've never been disappointed, cuisine and service were always great. It's nice that the place offers outside seating in a courtyard although it's not the most charming architecture. Still, it offers a nice and quiet atmosphere and relaxed outside seating which is not often found in Leipzig's inner city. For Leipzig standards Max Enk is on the expensive side, but it's well worth it.

My wife and I sat down for a lovely dinner at Max Enk on a Saturday night in June, our last on our trip to Germany.We were sitting on the patio, we had order the calf's liver and the Leipziger allerlei, both of which were very well prepared and tasted excellent.Then the sky open up and a torrential downpour had all of the patrons standing huddled in the centre of the patio umbrellas trying not to get drenched.The restaurant staff emerged with umbrellas to get all of the diners into the main restaurant to continue our meals.I would eat here again any time.

I visited the restaurant based on the recommendations of my hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous, though for a vegetarian, I found the smell a little to excessive.There is very little to eat for a vegetarian and the only option was Veg Garganelli. Soon a bread platter followed along with what suspiciously looked like minced meat. Since I had just explained to the staff I was pure vegetarian, this was surprising as well as disappointing. On request the minced duck (which apparently was really good) was replaced by olive oil, but I was highly disappointed by this very well rated restaurant.The single star is for the excellent staff at work :)

It has spacious minalamist dining area, I liked that the tables are not densely packed, so you are not buffeted by passing waiters , other guests and so can really settle at your table. The contemporary art on the wall tis interesting enough that you can spend time discussing , rather than just being bemused.The Staff were welcoming and attentive especially the excellent sommelier, who helped us select two bottles of German wines for our meal.All 4 off of our party found their selection of food delicious.As to there price with 3 A La Carte, 1 Set vegetarian. 2 bottles of wine, 1 beer and 3 bottles of water we ended the bill was 260 Euro, without atop. So its a bit pricy. We’d go again for an...

I have discovered a hidden gem in the center of Leipzig Saxony Germany. Max Enk is somewhat tucked away on a small square with entry to the Neumarkt. A great restaurant! Very spacious and light furnishings with plenty of space between the tables. The staff is very friendly, attentive and sets you right at ease. The menu is extensive and during the lunch one can also choose from the "a la carte" section. My starter was oyster broth with ravioli stuffed with beef. A very special combination; the ravioli was served separately. The main course was a combination of cod and blood sausage, with sauerkraut and baked potatoes. A very special combination as well and highly recommended. The atmosphere...
