Waldfrieden
Leipzig, Germany
The read// why locals go
Waldfrieden sits on Bornaische Straße in Connewitz, a rustic Gaststätte that Leipzig's south end treats as an extended living room. The kitchen keeps to hearty regional cooking: soljanka, homemade Königsberger Klopse, cheese spätzle, an affordable weekday lunch and monthly specials that follow the season. Portions are generous rather than composed, and the vegetarian and vegan dishes get the same attention as the meat. In summer the argument for coming is the garden — one of the prettiest beer gardens in the city, with a pirate-ship playground keeping the children busy while the table lingers. Mains land around eighteen euros.
