| - Schnitzel Queen is a small restaurant located on the Southwest corner of Queen and Sherbourne in Corktown that specializes in schnitzels. Schnitzels is meat usually veal, pork or chicken that's been thinned by a meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried.
Schnitzel Queens lays claim to having the best schnitzel in town and they are probably right. The term hole in the wall is a term loosely thrown around by foodies but hole in the wall gem is a perfect description for Schnitzel Queen. Here's why.
Every time I go, I normally order the Chicken Gourmet Schnitzel ($14.50 tax included) which consists of a large piece of chicken schnitzel topped with a mushroom sauce, bacon, caramelized onions along with a potato salad and sauerkraut. The schnitzel is cooked perfectly, chicken is juicy and tender inside and the outside bread coating is nice and light. The mushroom sauce, bacon and caramelized onions are perfect toppings to the dish. The potato salad is great, nicely seasoned and just the right amount of creaminess. The portions are huge, the food is outstanding and is very very reasonably priced for what you are getting.
The service is top notch and the staff are always so friendly. It's always great to support local small businesses that makes amazing food.
The only downside is it's located in probably one of the worst neighbourhoods in the city but the area is generally safe in the day. Also, the rent is cheaper in that area and they are able to pass on the savings to customers which is reflected in the pricing. For what you are receiving food and quality wise, the food is very very reasonably priced. You go to restaurants for the food and not the neighbourhood.
