Dear Schnitzel Safari,
I was recently delighted to eat a chicken pamignana at Norths Cammeray Leagues Club that arrived somewhat in the shape of Australia. Photo attached for your perusal.
Cheers, Louise

Erskineville Hotel

Erskineville Hotel, Erskineville

Type: chicken

Price: no idea (i didnt buy it)

With: mash and veggies

From the eater of the schnitzel it seems that the schnitzel itself was quite moist but the mash was a bit lumpy and buttery. Alright size though!

North Bondi RSL

North Bondi RSL, Bondi

Type: chicken

Price: $16

With: salad and "fries"..... also neopolitana sauce and cheeese

Not the best schnitzel i've had, not the worst. Pretty tasteless and came with a piece of mystery string. Not a fan of thin chips and the salad only consisted of lettuce and 10 bits of shredded carrot. Nice view though, especially of the people bolting off the beach as a delightful storm rolls in.

Lion Hotel

Lion Hotel, North Adelaide

Price: $9 (plus $23 for sauce and plus $43 for salad)

Type: chicken

With: chips, salad and mushroom sauce

I jest (ha ha!) it didn't cost $75 to purchase this fine specimen, but there was a bit of misleading advertising with the "Thursday Night - $9", neglecting to mention (or possibly in very small letters "plus extra for sauce and salad". It doesn't matter though. The mission was for schnitzel and at about $13 it was still reasonable.

The schnitzel itself was excellent. If there's any reason to head to Adelaide, it's for schnitzel. Proper piece of chicken, cooked just perfectly. Fresh salad and tasty sauce.

If you dare, you may visit their website, but beware it has an irritating song attached to it and i cant find the "off" button: www.lionhotel.com.au

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?)
