Cafe Puschkin

Leipzig


This charming old pub on the Südvorstadt neighbourhood's supercool Karli is a local institution. The selection of burgers, nachos and sausages won't blow you away, but it's good comfort food in a friendly and somewhat eccentric atmosphere. It's also a great breakfast spot following a night out.
