Schaarschmidt's

Schaarschmidt's is a family-run restaurant in Leipzig's Gohlis that has welcomed guests since June 1992 and marked its 25th anniversary in 2017. The house suits special occasions, business meals and intimate rendezvous; private rooms and tailored arrangements are available on request. Ownership and management rest with Werner (and Susanne) Schaarschmidt, listed as responsible for site content; the restaurant is recognised by the Guide Michelin (Selected 2025) and displays other distinctions and seals. The interior is a comfortable, elegantly furnished living room with French-style seating, bookshelves and brass chandeliers. The venue occupies three levels and includes multiple private rooms plus a bar/tresen area. An ivy-wrapped garden provides additional seating in warm seasons for outdoor dining. The kitchen works in a market-kitchen (Marktküche) spirit, applying seasonal and historically influenced preparations while the team highlights dishes with history and connects old recipes with new ideas. Specialties include Sächsische traditional dishes and Sächsische Hofküche alongside international plates. Culinary theatre such as table-side flambéing and tranching is performed for guests, and an extensive wine list of over 200 international and German wines complements the menu.
