Patio del Sol - Leipzig

Ohne eine Reservierung zu haben konnten wir einen gelungenen Abend mit Wein und Tapas im gemütlichen Garten verbringen. Die Bedienung war angenehm und freundlich, die Karte interessant und das Essen sehr gut.

Im schönen Hinterhof kann man spanische Tapas bei gutem Wein genießen. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

... kann man in diesem spanischen Restaurant mit angenehmen Garten und stilvollen Innenraum - Gleiches gilt auch für die Bedienung -- einfach KLASSE, mit Niveau, höflich und auch mit dem nötigen Humor ausgestattet - Frau & Man(n) müssen sich einfach wohlfühlen!Essen kam in angemessener Zeit - also nicht zu kurz (kein FASTFOOD oder dgl.!) aber auch nicht Stunden später.

I went here with my husband as I had seen all the great reviews on TripAdvisor and had not found a great tapas place in Leipzig yet. When you go through the door you get a good vibe. The tables are looking nice, it´s clean and inviting staff. We wanted to try some different tapas and they have a lot to choose from. They served a small ox-tail appetizer in gravy, and it was OK. There were a lot of fat in my ox-tail and I really do not like beef fat at all. We had 2 pintxo (the small pieces of baguette) with chorizo and quails egg and with egg and schrimp. They tasted nice but they chorizo one was not that inspiring and just dry bread in one end. Then I had the tenderloin in spicy tomato sauce tapas. It tasted nice but you really have to like tomatoes as the tomato flavor was very strong. The quality of the meat was very good. We also had the warm asparagus salad and it tasted good but as a tapas also a very small portion. We tried the spanish omelet with ham and cheese and even though it is a cold dish, it was way to cold. It came just out of the refrigerator and really cold potatoes do not taste that great. If it hadn´t been for the ham, it would not have been tasting of much.For main course we had the cheeks from Iberian pork and it was ok, but it was the same exact sauce as from the ox-tail appetizer and it was very salty. It lacked some gravy which made the rest of the dish, even the mashed potatoes, a little dry.One thing you will see is the same fried onions used as garnish on the beef tenderloin, the ox-tail, the asparagus salad and the pork cheeks. Do not think one garnish fits every dish and it seems a little lazy. I am not a big fan on throwing a piece of raw parsley on something just to have something green on there. I do not want to eat raw parsley on anything!Now we come to the real reason on why I can never give this place more than 3 stars. The price is ridiculous! My husband wanted a glass of white wine that suited the food and she recommended the Riesling. We agreed and he got a glass which is 20 cl. When we got the check we saw that it costed 10,50 euros! Maybe she should have mentioned the price when she recommended the wine if you choose a wine very expensive. The wine was ok but noot worth 10,50 euros for a small glass.The tapas size portions are not big at all, as they are not supposed to, but the prize is not small. We paid 81,50 euros for this meal with 1 glass of white wine for my husband, 1 cola for me and water. That is way to much for what you get and we will not be coming back.A little side-remark. I gave the waitress 90 euros and my husband said "5 zurück" (5 back) to tell her she could have 3,50 euros in tips. She took all the money and just went away and did not come back. We looked at each other and said, ohhh well, I guess she wanted a 8,50 euro tip. We are not people running after the waitress saying HEY HEY where are my 5 euros back, so we just left and thought REALLY! Did she think we would give her a 10% tip when saying we wanted 5 euros back? Pretty weird situation.

Wir waren zum Abend in Familie dort und haben uns durch die Tapa- und Pintxo Variationen gekostet. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. esssen frisch zubereitet. Die Auswahl ist toll. Die Preise der Tapas im oberen Segment.
