Café Cantona * * *
Address: Windmuehlenstr. 29, 04107 Leipzig
I went here with my teenage son and husband and over all we had a nice time. The staff is very busy, not making them overly friendly but they wasn´t rude either. I got the waitress to smile a little by giving her a 10% tip, as I could see the staff were not having a great day at work.
Some of the food is great and some is a little uninspiring. The Eggs Benedict was absolutely great and full of flavour and yummy-ness. My son was not that impressed with the flavours of the English breakfast, and my husband found the Cantona breakfast OK but nothing special. The fruit salad is not really a fruit salad with yoghurt but yoghurt with a little fruit in it, but it had a great balance of sweet from the honey and sour from the yoghurt.
The coffee was great and the hot chocolate was VERY thick (as my son likes it).
One of the more annoying things was not the stressed and non-attentive staff but the waiting time. We had to wait 15 minutes for the coffee and 50 minutes for the food. As I was in good company I could see through it this time, but it is very long to wait for some breakfast.
In spite of the hick-ups, we would go here again, just to have the Eggs Benedict. We would just bring a lot of patience and a smile for the not-that-happy staff.
