| - The inaugural Yelp GTA International Supper Club held its first meeting at SchniztelHub in Vaughan. I am a great fan of any meat that is pounded down to a pancake thickness, then breaded and deepfried. I personally have never had schnitzel at a restaurant before and my wife and I were excited!! SchniztelHub is located on Steeles in Vaughan, in the back part of a very busy strip mall. Once you see the clock tower in the parking lot you know the SchniztelHub is right below it.
The actual restaurant is very small in terms seating. A quick estimate is about 25 seats (which is quite small for a dine in restaurant). There is a bar which is fully stocked with home infused vodkas. If your not familiar with infused vodkas...its basically plain vodka which is poured over different ingredients (fruit, spices, candies, bacon....yes bacon..) The vodka is left to sit and the flavors are "infused" with the vodka. Our group did not get to sample the above, but you can order them in a single form or in a flight (a sample variety in smaller glasses). They also featured Hacker-Pschorr brewery (German) which made an awesome complement to our meal.
Our group ordered various types of schnitzel which can be either chicken or veal. Choices such as Jaeger schnitzel (plain) to a Parma (covered with cheese and tomato sauce) to Cordon Bleu (stuffed with ham and emmental cheese) along with the ever so tasty German take on Mac and cheese "Spaezle". The food quality and portion sizes were excellent. Our Parma schnitzel was such a big portion that me and my wife shared 1 order and we still had leftovers!! We also ordered Pierogis as and appetizer. The filling of the pierogis were tasty and the dough was perfect.
The only downside was the speed of service. Our server was friendly and took care of us the best she could, but the turnaround is a little on the slow side. There was only 1 server taking care of the whole restaurant and 1 chef, so when the restaurant became busy the service slowed to a crawl. Half our orders for the table came out, then we waited for about 30 min till the next set came out. I know this is very hard to manage with a small service area, but it is something to keep in mind if there is a reservation for a group. If your craving european cuisine and are in the busy Steeles area of Vaughan, check out the SchniztelHub!!
