Bavarian Bier Cafe

Bavarian Bier Cafe, York St, Sydney
Date: 8th May, 2010
Type: Chicken
Price: $24.50
With: Salad (some variety of lettuce and three slices of radish), lemon, warm potato salad and mystery sauce.


So.... really.... for $25 I was really quite unimpressed with this meal. Small and kinda tasteless. The mystery sauce was quite nice, but the potato salad didn't rate, in my books. 
The venue was big and loud and the service was kinda shite. Not to mention having to endure various hens night (although i was impressed by the group of girls that instead of helping their friend off the floor took photos of her when she fell backwards off her chair).

Newcastle Panthers

Newcastle Panthers, King St, Newcastle (or Newcastle Workers Club as I'll always know it)


Well..... I'm not sure how much it costs or what day it was bought on (although i recall it was the night that Bluejuice played).... and i didn't even eat it myself. But from all reports, this schnitzel was quite pleasant. Eaten by a typical boy who orders food "without salad" because he's a hard man.... or something like that. Chips and gravy all the way. A touch on the small side.... but what can you expect for a bogan haven that sells $3 vodkas. 


Aah Newcastle, I love you.

Shakespeare Hotel

Shakespeare Hotel, Surry Hills, Sydney
Date: A few weeks ago
Price: $10 (same as the rest of the menu)
Type: chicken
With: chips, salad and mushroom sauce

So.... apparently this was quite a decent schnitzel. A little strange as to how is was bent in the middle, but hey... it just kinda looked like a butterfly.... a giant crumbed butterfly.... mmm.

The other meals at the pub are not too shabby either..... just for future reference. mmm.

Em Hottche

Em Hottche, Am Markt 4, Bonn, Germany,
Price: 8 Euro
Type: veal
With: chips and salad



It was a cold winters day in Bonn and reaching that time when one begins craving a quality schnitzel. I ducked into a cozy looking bistro, found a seat in the non-smoking section and perused the menu. I made my selection, wienerschintzel and a glass of Kölsch. 

I was happy with the serving size I certainly was satisfied. When Heading to Bonn, I strongly recommend this schnitzel. Especially with a few glasses of Kölsch.

Shakespeare Hotel

Shakespeare Hotel, Surry Hills, Sydney


Date: 27th March 2010
Price: $10
With: salad and chips and what looks like mushroom sauce


No complaints coming from the consumer of this schnitzel. Can't really go wrong for $10.... really. In fact, all the meals we had were fairly awesome indeed. Cute little pub... old man charm downstairs and fancy-esque upstairs. Nice.

hmm

I have no recollection of where this is from.
hmmm


i'll get back to you.

Auburn Public Golf Course

Auburn Public Golf Course




It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was actually March the 26th 2010. The glare from my LCD monitor and Excel spreadsheet started playing tricks on my consciousness. Threes turned to eights, sixes nines, and a stubborn V lookup function refused to cooperate. A bumbling co-worker stumbled upon this Schnitzel safari website when I decided it was time to road test the local cuisine. Our work being located in Auburn NSW didn’t present many Schnitzel opportunities. The area better know for its drive by shootings rather than its crumbed poultry, however a short two-minute drive down the road and I found myself ordering a $12.50 Schnitzel and chips from Auburn (Rosnay) Public Golf Course.

After a short 5 minutes passed I was served up a relatively good-sized Schnitzel with chips and some side salad. The salad appeared to be token and probably included for aesthetics rather than any nutritional value.. As mentioned the Schnitzel was a modest size (can’t compete with Cockatoo Hotel, Petersham. See review.) and the gravy that clung to the schnitzel was a mandatory worthwhile addition. The chicken itself was quite thin and free from the sometime thick rubbery cuts you get at pubs and clubs. If in Auburn and looking for a cheap schnitie, definitely give it a go!

There and a half stars from me Margret!



I cant tell if this is from someone named Margret or someone named Brett..... thanks anyway!
