    Chicken schnitzel with fried sauerkraut and cheese with a side of spaetzle and red cabbage, extra gravy on the side.
    Suzie R.

    The chicken schnitzel is so good! I got the one that comes with fried sauerkraut and cheese with a side of spaetzle and red cabbage, extra gravy on the side. Staff were amazingly friendly and safe (Covid times) and I loved every bite. My first meal in Kitchener after my move from Toronto and it was totally comforting and delicious. Made me feel right at home.

    Birthday dinner for the wife!!

    This was my wife's birthday choice as she loves schnitzel. We arrived and were greeted by Britney who quickly got a table together for the 7 of us. We had a table in the back area by the washrooms. When we were walking back I though to my self that this place is dated and needs an upgrade. But after a while I thought maybe they should keep it. It's part of the Metro experience. This place makes everything from scratch and you can tell. I ordered the schnitzel, rib and pig tail platter. It came with soup ( home made mushroom and pasta) garlic bread, choice of potato and choice vegetable. My wife also had the schnitzel with perogies and a cabbage roll. Both of our dinners were great! Big flavour, tender ribs, meaty pig tails and great sides! Our server Britney was great also, made a few jokes with the kids and really did a great job making sure we had everything we needed.

    First things, first...! Why was this added as a "Cambodian" restaurant? Hopefully, my change goes through and it gets updated to a German restaurant. It's schnitzel, people!!! Apparently, a lot of the locals say that this is the best schnitzel in town (as Albert O. mentioned). All the locals I've spoken with note that this place is the place to go for schnitzel. I ordered the Gypsy Schnitzel for lunch today ($10.95). The gypsy schnitzel came with sauteed red and green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. You also get a choice of mashed potatoes, home fries, or french fries AND either a salad (red cabbage, toss, caesar) OR vegetables. You have to choose whether you want a salad or veggie. But you get a choice of potatoe for sure! The gypsy schnitzel was good. It was fine. I'm definitely no schnitzel expert, so I can't really claim this as being good or bad, but for the quality and quantity of food and the price, I thought it was quite reasonable. The caesar salad was quite nice! Every piece of romain lettuce was covered with the caesar sauce which was not overly saucey, salty, etc. It was just right. Believe you me! I ate every single bite of my romain lettuce/caesar salad. It was good and well worth it! The home fries were also good, nicely flavored. What are home fries? Depending on where you go, I guess they can all be different, right? Well, home fries here at this location are pieces of potato cut into medium sized pieces and covered with some spices and probably pan-fried or baked. *** It looks like a small restaurant once you walk in. It's quite quaint! There are several small rooms that only hold 4-5 tables each, but it's like having secret passages .... that lead to another room that holds 4-5 tables. Pretty neat. I liked it. All in all, enjoyed it and would come back again. Rated it 3 stars because I don't know what is considered to be EXCELLENT versus not.

    I love this place. I've been twice so far and both times, I've been super happy with my meals. This time I went, I told them I was allergic to dairy and he said he'd make sure that the schnitzel used only an egg wash, instead of their usual egg and milk wash. He also listed off the ingredients in the (apparently homemade) caesar dressing (mayo, red wine vinegar, fresh garlic.. lemon?) so I would be sure I was good to go. My friend also made things difficult because she can't eat pork, so she went for the chicken option at $2.50 extra. When the food came, she suspected that she actually got pork, and the server swooped in and said 'I think we made a mistake, let me take this away and we'll remake your whole meal." So she got that back in a few minutes, everything hot and freshly made. He then told us we'd be getting an apple strudel on the house for the mistake. I love how proactive they were about the whole thing. She didn't even have to say anything. Service was excellent the entire time. The guy was very friendly and personable, and the food came out pretty quickly, considering it was definitely freshly made (no frozen schnitzels!) I had the Vienna schnitzel with pig tail and my friend had the metro schnitzel (stuffed with bacon and sauerkraut). Tasty as hell. The pig tail was okay. Not a ton of meat, just a lot of fat. Tasted like pork. I LOVED the home fries, which are actually roasted potatoes with a bit of sauce on them. Addictive. The meal was more than enough, I basically ate half of it and will be enjoying the remainder for lunch today. A full plate of food + caesar salad + garlic bread = $18. Parking's out back. They also have a small party room with it's own bar at the back of the restaurant. If I lived in Kitchener, I'd definitely have my birthday here.

    The Vienna and the Metro schnitzel plates.

    Went to Metro on an impromptu craving for German food. The internet said they have the best schnitzel in the region, so of course we had to try it. We arrived about an hour before their closing and the restaurant was empty. The server greeted us with a smile and offered us prompt, friendly service. The menu boasted 2 full pages of different schnitzel variations-I didn't even know you could do so much with schnitzel. We each got our own schnitzel (the classic Vienna, and the Metro stuffed with ham, bacon, and saurekraut). The schnitzel did not disappoint. It they were so delicious and perfectly fried. I probably wouldn't get the Metro again as there was a bit too much meat in there for me, but would definitely come back to try all the different schnitzel options. The portions are quite large. You'll likely need to pack half of it for another meal.

    Platter for Two

    Large potion, nice service and excellent schnitzel. We take the platter for two which has four kinds of schnitzel, soup and home fries and it was great.

    Caesar salad, so tasty!

    It was our first time at the Golden Pheasant and have to say that we were impressed with the food…read more But what's more impressive, was the huge portion of their plates. The schnitzel that I ordered (Wiener Schnitzel) was enough to feed 3 people. Mine was with the potato salad that you pay an extra $2 (worth it in my opinion) or you could get it with rice and fries. It also comes with a salad. We also ordered the Potato Dumplings (Halusky) which brought memories of my trip to Slovakia a while ago. We also ordered some Pillsners Urkell to wash down our food. The schnitzel is a bit on the salty side so the Halusky, potato salad and salad provides a nice balance. The food took a very long time to arrive so that's something to be aware of. I'm not sure if it was a one off or if it's a regular occurrence. The food was worth the wait though. My advice will be to come as soon as they are open. The decor needs improvement but you are not coming here for the ambience. The food prices might seems expensive but when you compare it with the amount of food that you get, it's really not. There's parking at the back and the restaurant it's a bit lax about their opening time which is 5pm. We arrived at 5pm but needed to knock so they could open for us. It's in the same block as Dairy Cream so it was convenient for us. We did not finish our food as we were saving room for the ice cream. It's worth a visit if you are fan of schnitzels!

Street parking was reasonably easy to find. We were seated way back in the restaurant and the seating was a little uncomfortable as our table was set up right next to the bar (but way too close to the bar, because our table was long) and other patrons had to constantly shimmy through a small gap between our table and the bar to get to the washrooms downstairs. Not great. We ordered a family style meals to share (combo for 2 and a combo for 4) and the amount of food that came out was probably enough to feed 10 very hungry adults. Definitely do not indulge on the bread basket that comes before the meal, because you will need to save room for the main event. The massive platters came loaded with pierogies, 2 different types of cabbage rolls (my favs!), schnitzels, and various condiments (?) of cooked beets, carrots, cabbages...etc. We were first served 1 different soups; white borscht and beet soup and both were tasty. The meat dumplings in the beet soup balanced out the sweetness of the broth and it worked well. I personally preferred the white borscht which was perfectly sour and a slightly over-powering sausage taste. The refreshing cucumber salad with dill in sour cream was a great accompaniment to somewhat heavy tasting meal. The hunters stew was a hearty bowl of tender morsels of meat, potato dumplings in a well balanced tomato based sauce. Although most of our food was great, we found the cabbage rolls (the traditional tomato version) and the schnitzels too dry. And along with the issue of having to deal with people constantly brushing by, I am taking away 2 stars. I may revisit Cafe Polonez if I'm back in the area, but not in a huge rush either.

We got there and they were willing to seat us, even though they were closing soon. My husband got the taco pierogi bowl and wow! I've never had anything like it, nor had he. What a fun way to enjoy pierogis. What was better was the taste. It tasted AMAZING! I got the Polish Plate and this Polish granddaughter couldn't have been happier. It was made with the love and care like my grandma would have made it. The soup of the day happened to be Dill Pickle soup. That happens to be my favorite. I am beyond stuffed! We won't need dinner tonight. What was even better is that they have frozen soups you can get to go. So, we got 4 of those and the menu had strawberry pierogis (which I have never heard of). I asked for a to-go order of those. I planned to wait to eat one with my parents, but I was dying to know what a strawberry pierogi was like. It is an explosion of flavor. It may be better than nalisniki. If you are in this area or passing by, I highly recommend stopping. It is run by a mother and son who are a true gem. You won't be disappointed and your belly will be full!

The owner (I believe she is the owner) greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. She brought us water and menus. My sister and I ordered 2 cabbage rolls, Potato and Cheese Pierogies, Meat Pierogies with bacon and onions to share. For my son, we tried ordering the schnitzel sandwich, but was told that was unavailable. My son doesn't eat mashed potatoes so I asked if I could just order him a schnitzel and she said yes. The food came out in about 15 minutes. The cabbage rolls were fantastic, the perfect amount of acidity in the sauce. I really don't like tomatoes or cabbage, but there is something special about the cabbage rolls. I ate very bit of mine. The pierogies were wonderful. I usually prefer just potato and cheese, but honestly between those and the meat, I couldn't decide which I liked more. Both were flavorful especially with the sauteed onions and sour cream. My son's schnitzel was huge! He could only eat about half of it and when my son asked for ketchup (much to my dismay) the owner was very nice about it and commented that's the way her daughter likes it too. Honestly the food was absolutely wonderful and the service was great. It was very similar to what I had in Poland. If this restaurant was closer to my home I would visit often. We had no issue with parking. We were able to get a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant. Parking was also not too expensive since you aren't in the downtown area.
