"Our European Beer tour guide (from US) bought us here for our dinner and that was a great choice!
But only bad things about this place is the waiter of waitresses doesn’t speak much of English, this is really authentic local German restaurant!
If you found this place on the Google Maps, you have to come, but you have to be patient here with the slow service to receive your meals. This is not the place for a quick bite!
We really enjoyed the beer and food we ordered. If God permits us to visit Leipzig again, we will love to have another meal here!"

"We were just trying to find a nice restaurant to visit on our first night in Leipzig. We stumbled across this restaurant and we are very glad that we did.
The beers (Gose in particular) were amazing, and the food was great too.
The waiters were also very kind to us and made it a great night.
Highly recommend."
Kieran Goodall
"I have already been to this excellent restaurant several times and I will definitely come again. A visit to Leipzig became unthinkable for me without visiting Ohne Bedenken. Everything is at an excellent level, the ambiance and the service and the food and above all the beer. I look forward to coming again."

A Visit to Leipzig – Home of Gose
An ordinary visitor would probably start by heading to one of the historic sites mentioned above, but I headed straight for Ohne Bedenken Gosenschenke, the famous gose tavern where the style was first revived. The walk takes about 20-25 minutes from the main train station and cuts through affluent neighborhoods that lie northeast of the zoo. I arrive around 2 pm to find a large beer garden shaded by lofty trees located in back of a stylish multistory building with classical sensibilities.
