Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited Max Enk in 2019 - and had the pleasure writing a positive review here on TA.
Now, three years later and post the pandemic, I revisited the restaurant in May.
It is still on a very good level of both cooking and environment. All my other observations remains: rather noisy big dining room (an old bank hall), kind staff, mainly classic dishes on the menu, fresh ingredients and a tad expensive.
Also enjoyed, once again, their Crêpes Suzette, properly prepared at the table.
It is "semi" fine dining, relaxed and no fuzz. Although, not cheap...

Treated myself to the 5 course menu. In fact the bread did not seem so fresh. Halibut tartare was good, with a little salad and sauce. Lobster bisque was thin but had a piece of lobster in the raviolo. I don’t think mango is a good flavour for a sorbet palate cleanser.Duck breast was a whole breast, too much, but rhubarb with it was delicious and unusual. Dessert was a very solid parfait, not sure what flavour, with a strange assortment of chocolate soil, apricot pieces, creamy sauce. Sachsen Rose wine was good. It was a warm evening so dinner was served on the terrace.

The main problem wasn’t even that the meat was old. It was the whole place. Designed for people who proudly sport all over prints and who want to show that they have a bit of money. The food is bland and boring. There is literally no taste just texture.
If you enjoy sitting in a room with people straight from a bad TV show portraying the rich and famous and eat the most boring food you can imagine then this is the place for you. Otherwise MC Donalds is the better choice. It is actually hilarious. Imagine a movie that is so bad it actually is good in an entertaining way.

I reserved a table at this restaurant in hopes of getting a special meal. Unfortunately this restaurant is way too expensive for the quality and quantity of food you get. There are different servers for the drinks and the food. So if one of them came, you could only order either drinks or food and had to wait a while longer to complete your order. It’s not really efficient to be honest. In a place like this, I expect them to make an effort to also offer alcohol free options and I’m not talking about juices. This was a big difficulty for them to offer when asked.
The outside area is really nice to sit in but it is not worth the price.

A young and motivated team welcomed us. On a balmy evening, we were able to sit on the terrace under large umbrellas. The menu offered some classic Germany cuisine with a modern and regional twist. We were happy to find a favoured German wine on the extensive wine list. The portions were rather generous. Perhaps a little too generous as we were unable to find room for dessert after starters and mains. But the food was well plated and delicious. We settled for a digestive to complete the meal.

When you discover a great restaurant you don’t want to leave,hence the title. The location is quiet away from the main squares and the food a cut above. We enjoyed lots of local produce,white asparagus was perfect. The summer risotto with pea shoots and creamy sauce complimented by crisp white wine. Service excellent the staff helpful and friendly .. enjoy the Leipzig culinary gem .

There were four of us at Max Enk. The space is really impressive at first glance. Overall, however, it is quite loud. All four of us ordered the menu. The food was really very good. However, the service does not do the great food justice. When we ordered, we had the feeling that they were checking their watch so that they could finish work on time. The individual courses were not explained again by the waiter, which is a real shame. The last bite was barely in our mouths when the plate was already gone and the next course was served minutes later. Over the course of the evening, around 6 different waiters looked after us. There was no consistency. While we were still eating, people were noisily cleaning up around us, according to the motto: It's almost time to finish work. They didn't want to offer us a final coffee. Overall, the service was far too hectic and not up to the standards of the restaurant. A real shame, as the chef deserved better!

We reserved a table here because of the good reviews and the proximity to our hotel. We ordered vitello and steak tartare as a starter. Then for the main course we had lamb salmon and truffle pasta. The starters were very good, the lamb salmon too, but the truffle pasta was sub-par. The spaghetti was in a watery sauce with spinach and egg. Unseasoned and with very finely grated truffles on top. Taste experience zero. As compensation I was offered a glass of champagne. We didn't feel like having dessert.
One more note about the location and the service. The room has no windows, light only comes from above. The ambience is special and the wooden chairs are uncomfortable and without cushions. The gray partitions are also terrible. Are these leftovers from Corona? The service was very mixed, we missed the warm hospitality.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Max Enk. We were greeted very friendly and opted for a table on the beautiful outdoor seat. We were recommended a delicious aperitif - a very delicious strawberry bowl. We decided once for the Max menu and once for the vegetarian version. We have also taken the appropriate wine recommendation.
The service was very attentive and we felt very comfortable.
So we had a great end to our holiday in Leipzig.

I wanted to offer my wife something special for Valentine's Day and so I reserved a table at MAX ENK. The evening was a complete success!
We enjoyed the 5-course Valentine's menu with wine accompaniment and it was a complete success. The main course with two kinds of veal was the culinary highlight for us. The wines were chosen to match the menu very well.
The service was courteous, professional and yet unobtrusive.
The evening was perfect for us and we will definitely come back!

Had a reservation for dinner. Welcome friendly.Table with sufficient distance for privacy.Small tasty amuse guele.Excellent food.Service by various waiters. One very attentive,another one did not return when his jokes were not appreciated,another came unsolicited putting dessert menus on the table. With a friendlier and more attentive service this could be an outstanding restaurant .

A very nice, modern but tastefully decorated restaurant. Very friendly and competent young staff. They use food from the region and this is clearly stated. The "dry aged" steaks are top quality. But all the other dishes at the tables next to them also looked very high quality. A very nice selection of wines, here too a separate menu with wines from the region. A highly recommended restaurant.

You can only give full marks for the good service and the great food. It was a great evening and above all the service staff were very friendly and accompanied us through the evening really well. We would be happy to come back.
Only the cleanliness of the toilets would have deserved an upgrade. There is still room for improvement here. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the great evening.
