Gourmet Schnitzel House

Great local spot for some delicious home cooking. Portions are HUGE and fantastic for a hungry family. We’ve always gotten take out (never eaten in). Great for when you’re craving comfort food.

Found this place by accident and man one of the best schnitzel I’ve had, and amazing super friendly owners.
I had their mushroom schnitzel on rice, so delicious and not greasy or dry. My husband and daughter had their cabbage rolls with potato and it was a hit with my picky daughter.
The owners are so friendly and helpful.
It was such an amazing dining experience!
Highly recommend!!!

This is one of our favourite places to grab a quiet dinner in the fall and winter, with the warm and welcoming service pairing nicely with the freshly prepared food. Their schnitzel is light and never greasy, with thin cuts of either pork or chicken that are paired with other home-​cooked delights.
BF prefers their Corvina schnitzel with mashed potatoes, a massive schnitzel covered with a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, and onions and melted cheese. My favourite is the Cordon Bleu, stuffed with ham and swiss cheese, paired with fluffy rice. Don’t miss their tomato, feta, and olive salad to start, and if you are feeling really ambitious, you can’t go wrong with the palascinta (try the sour cherry ones) or home made apple strudel for dessert.
The portions are so generous, many times I just cut everything in half for another meal. The BF sees the Corvina as a challenge, so he tends to rise to the occasion. Come hungry or be prepared to take food with you! They are licensed and have a nice selection of imported beers to wash your schnitzel down.
Clean, and casual location perfect for a relaxed dinner. Parking is limited in the plaza but there is always ample amounts available right on Kingston Rd.

Excellent Schnitzel with ham and cheese and was thoroughly impressed. Paprika on mashed potatoes! Definitely coming here again!

The owners are absolutely lovely and provide good food with friendly attentive service. The house schnitzel was delicious as was the dessert, a palacsinta (crêpe filled with apricot jam). The atmosphere is warm and like being with family.

Unilocal reviews brought me and my family here when we were nearby. Being eastern European, we’re very familiar with goulash soup and schnitzel. My parents were very impressed with the goulash soup and the serving was plentiful in size (easily enough for two). The schnitzel kept us impressed with a full plate serving and its good taste. The price value of the food was phenomenal and we’ll likely come back for more. Worth mentioning is that this is a family restaurant.

Very nice family run place.
Great schnitzel. overall very tasty and inexpensive.
Worth checking out.
Gonna be back next time I’m in the area.
Maybe check out other items

Schnitzel Mecha? (I hope I didn’t offend)
I consider myself a schnitzel aficionado. I thought I knew everything, and then I discovered Gourmet Schnitzel House.
I’m going to have to come here a lot to fully explore the menu, which is extensive.
Its quite well priced, family friendly. The Goulash soup itself has caused me to start a new list.
Its way off the beaten path for me. But I’m so pleased I stopped in.

Over the summer my wife and I sampled all of the schnitzels and found them both moist, tender and wonderful. But the Goulash soup was fabulous.

Went with the family on a lark. We wanted something different and this fit the bill.
My wife and children had the Chicken Paprikas — the portions were huge and the kids managed to split just one order. Delicious.
I had the Corvina Schnitzel — it was amazing and it did not have the dryness problem most schnitzels have. It was tender, tasty and made me happy!
Then I had the apple strudel (get there early or on non-​busy days to get this as I understand it sells out). It is a traditional version (not what you get in stores or commercial bakeries). Wow — this was great and reminded me of strudel that a small local place used to make (they are sadly retired now :(). The strudel was made in house and used apples with the peel on. Loved it.
Would recommend for those people looking for an unpretentious atmosphere and some great home made food (cooked for you when you order).

The nice owner/​server at Gourmet Schnitzel House asked me «Who sent you here?»
«Yay! My Unilocal Friend sent me here…»
He probably realized something fishy going on, when he saw me walked into the empty restaurant alone at 2:30 pm looking for food…
House Schnitzel with Potato ($ 9.95)
— The dish is garnished with a lemon slice and potato salad as in traditional Austria Schnitzel
— The meat itself though I found it a little dry and not as tender as I would expect… the batter though flavoured was a little on the heavy side
— It was a struggle to try cutting up the schnitzel due to the toughness of the meat
They were out of Apple Strudel which is the usual dessert I would have ordered, so I ended up having
Palascinta (crepes) with Apricot/​Plum ($ 4.95)
— It was just Meh…
— The crepes itself is the more doughy and was pre made, all they did was just put the filling inside
— The apricot one was not bad, but the Plum once was just overstuffed with fillings all I tasted was the sour Plum…
Maybe I came in during their down time as they don’t really expect anyone to be ordering food? The owner though really nice, kept asking how my food was… can I tell him just read my Unilocal review?
The parking lot is pathetic… but there’s free one hour parking right on Kingston Road after 9 pm… so parking should not be an issue.
