Cafe Madrid - Leipzig

It was our daughter's birthday. We wanted to sit at a free table with 4 people. Then Riel came out and forbidden us in a bare, unfriendly tone to put us on this it was a 6 table and reserved. A shield wasn't set up. There was also a table with 4 chairs, even here we were not allowed to sit down it was a 2 table.

Pretty quiet in the Leipziger Klostergasse on 28. May 2013. It is evening, cool, it rains strong, hardly one in the alley. We're in front of a baroque town house. In the mighty window arches, Café Madrid stands. Sounds like cosiness, so in, because we are hungry too. The ambience door open, door close, and we stand in a large, yes very large, waiting room-like space, spanishly sculpted. It is noisy, the voices of the numerous guests halls through the room, felt many hundred times strengthened. From speakers from different corners, music, not identifiable, doesn't understand. So the music is only disturbing. An attentive operator leads us to one of the few iron round tables, as they stand in parks of spa resorts. We sit in two stylish iron cafe chairs. The much larger wooden tables with the more comfortable wooden chairs are obviously offered guest trios, quartets, quintettes, sextets. That's how the tables are occupied. Operation The operation is very attentive, gives wine, asks again and again whether everything is right. We are served throughout the evening very friendly, courtesy and professional. Impressive? In no case, but courteous and friendly. The service deserves a very good. The food We have the menu quickly on the coffee table. No question, there is something for every taste – a rich offer. Schwuppdiwupp – our order is added: – Chicken breast fillet Carlos (12.80 Euro) for my wife. Behind the Carlos is port wine sauce, grilled vegetables and potato corners. – Solomillo Cerdo Iberico (19,50 Euro) for me. This was once the fillet of a Spanish Pata Negra pig, which is now to land on my plate with grilled vegetables and Canarian potatoes – these are the ones with the salt crust. A house wine should make us forget the rain and the volume. The chicken breast fillet served on hot plate judges my wife as okay. It's fried, but still juicy. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The potato corners are not industrial goods, but self-made. From the port wine sauce it should be a bit more, the port wine taste is also missing somehow. My pig fillet, also served on hot plate, is delicious. Since where it is thick, it is pink fried, since where it is thin, it is cooked and already dry. In vegetables there is no quality to crittle: fresh and crisp. Quantitatively, it could have been a little more, for it a little less potatoes whose salt coating is just so pleasant that it does not kill the taste. The added green and red mojo sauce loses on the plate, the green has little taste, the red is pleasantly seasoned. Special requests are met with a swedish cup (4.60 Euro) as a dessert. Instead of the apple to the ice, my wife wants more egg liqueurs no problem! And it tastes excellent. Cleanliness The restaurant and the toilets are well maintained. Guest room, tables and blankets are clean, the toilets are also a good one. The very good service and the yet good food with the few, rather marginal criticisms justify a good for the price/performance ratio. The conclusion The dishes are fine and taste good, apart from the listed little things. Together with the other category assessments, there is a good overall impression. However, if you are sensitive to noise, you can provide your earplugs with a full local or choose times that are poorer. And a place on the wooden tables is certainly more convenient than at the cafe tables.
