Default Pub-style food in central Leipzig

What I am looking for are cafes/restaurants that are reasonably
priced, serve plain but good food, and offer a menu in English.
Anything from an English/Irish pub to a typical German cafe will
suffice, as long as I can read an English menu (Ich verstehe nur ein
bischen Deutsche). I will be staying just south of the hauptbahnhof
so a location in central Leipzig would be best.

If you want your menus in English, why don't you go for your holidays in the
Cotwolds.

Oh, c'mon. Give him a break.
He's asking if someone knows places with a menu in the English language.
If that's such a strange question, then what's r.t.e. good for?

[OTOH, half an hour of preparation at http://dict.leo.org/ should be
sufficient to compile a useful bilingual 'menu'-list as well.]

Funny how my rather complete phrasebook could not explain all
of the menu items on my trip to Austria. Menus are sometimes
written in slang, and slang is not always included in phrasebooks.

I guess it all depends on one's definition of customer service. In
Krakow I was given a Polish menu and I brought out my phrase-
book, and before I could read it the server brought me a menu
written in English. In the Baltic Countries it seemed like just
about everyone was learning a foreign language (English was the
most popular followed by German).
