Edinburgh Castle Hotel

Edinburgh Castle Hotel, Sydney

Price: $9 (50 cents extra for "sauce")

Type: Chicken

With: mash and mushroom "sauce"

The schnitzel itself was quite nice. One step above the bog-standard schnitzels you usually get on a pubs cheap meal list. The sauce was runny and bubbly (?) and the mash was only one step better than that fake mash often serve on $5 menus.

They also had parmigiana on their menu, but it was an extra $8 (which seemed a little silly to me - that is, how can they justify charging $8 for extra cheese and tomato sauce?)

Black Buffalo Hotel

Black Buffalo Hotel - North Hobart
Had a whopper of a schnitzel last night

Where: Black Buffalo Hotel - North Hobart
Cost: $21 (but I won Keno which paid for it!)

Description: Good pub with this tasty beef (veal) schnitzel. Washed it down with a few pints of Cascade Draught, perfect meal! Buried under the schnitzel was a good portion of chips and veges, all covered in pepper sauce.

Cheers,
Scott

Gasthaus Barvarian Hunter

Gasthaus Barvarian Hunter, Stillwater, Minnesota

Warning: No actual photo! Drawing only.... and startlingly absent of a $20 note! But too much effort has been put in not to put this review in.

Date: June 27th 2009
Price: $17.50
With: Slices of bread for starters, Side salad, potato dumplings, and red cabbage
Reviewer: Vu

We unexpected dropped by this German family-owned restaurant in the middle of nowhere city of Stillwater, Minnesota, called Gasthaus Barvarian Hunter, from a long day hike (so apology for no photographic evidence, but here is a drawing). They serve traditional dishes, such as schnitzels and bratwurst, as well as imported German beer on tap (I had a half pint of Spaten Light beer, which was a refreshing sweet Summer beer).

I had the Jagerschnitzel, which was one of their special. It came in two large breaded patties in a mushroom sauce with potato dumplings (it's softer than it looks) and red cabbage (yuck). The schnitzel was a little dry and was actually thicker than I expected. In fact, finishing up the first patty was easy, but working on the second was harder than I thought. The meal was rich and dense and very filling (such a wimp, but I did not finish the second patty entirely).

It was a good, filling meal, but for about $20, it's not for the budget conscious... but it's definitely worth eating once in a while.

(Very impressive drawing.... i must say)

Charlestown Bowling Club

Charlestown Bowling Club, Charlestown
Date: 27th June 2009
Type: Chicken
Price: $12
With: satay sauce, "coconut rice", a papadum and salad.

Review: VERY weird...i've never seen such an odd combination of things on a plate. The schnitzel itself was alright, if slightly cold. I hate papdums so.... yeah, not overly impressed with that bit. The salad was nice and the conversation about where the clubs are that have the best smoking rooms was riveting.

Golden Barley Hotel

Golden Barley Hotel, MarrickvilleDate: June 7th 2009
Price: $13.50
With: chips and salad and mushroom sauce


Not bad at all! Good for a hangover. Not the best i've had though and the salad was a bit crappy. The chips were very nice and the sauce was obviously not just out of some jar.

I do like the Golden Barley..... love those old man pubs.

Cricketers Arms

The Cricketers Arms - Cooks Hill, Newcastle
Date: 23rd May, 2009
Price: ummm... $16 (I dont know, I didnt buy it)
With: Chips and salad and gravy

Never fear... this is actually the small serving.... and appears to be half of an average sized schnitzel. The eater of this schnitzel didn't have a great deal to say about it, but she didn't die. So i can only assume it was edible and non-poisonous.

Franks, Townsville

Franks, Townsville, Queensland
(i'm assuming it's: Frank's Pizza Napoli & Vesuviana Restaurant)



Hey - we had dinner at 'Franks' on Saturday night and these are what emerged from the kitchen if you ordered a schnitzel. Service was very scary and the place is obviously a front for mafia money laundering. Apparently though the schnitzels were tasty and massive - no sides needed here! (Pizza on the other hand was something else... ).

Finally a decent schnitzel has been found in Townsville!! YEAH!!
