About Schnitzel
Schnitzel, a beloved dish originating from Austria and Germany, consists of a thin slice of meat that is breaded and fried to golden perfection. The most common variant is the Wiener Schnitzel, traditionally made from veal.
Over time, schnitzel has evolved into numerous regional styles and innovative recipes worldwide, showcasing versatility and rich culinary heritage.
At Schnitzel-Time, we honor this tradition by using only the freshest ingredients and authentic preparation methods. Each schnitzel is hand-breaded and cooked to order, ensuring crispiness on the outside and tenderness inside.
Our menu caters to meat lovers and vegetarians alike, offering a broad range of options.
“A great schnitzel is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of culture and craftsmanship on your plate.”

History and Inspiration Behind Schnitzel-Time

The Art of Schnitzel Preparation
Crafting the perfect schnitzel is both a science and an art. It begins with selecting the right cut of meat — whether veal, pork, chicken, or vegetarian alternatives.
The meat is carefully pounded to an even thinness, allowing for quick and even cooking.
Our chefs use a classic three-step breading process: dredging the meat in flour, dipping it into beaten eggs, and coating it with seasoned breadcrumbs. This method ensures a golden, crispy crust that seals in the juiciness of the meat.
The schnitzel is then fried in clarified butter or oil at the optimal temperature to achieve the ideal texture.
Attention to timing and technique is crucial. Overcooking can dry out the meat, while undercooking leaves the breading soggy.
Our culinary team is trained to deliver consistency and excellence with every order.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options
Recognizing the diverse preferences of today’s diners, Schnitzel-Time offers thoughtfully crafted vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Our Mushroom Schnitzel features hearty Portobello caps that mimic the texture and flavor of traditional schnitzel.
For vegan guests, we provide breading and frying techniques using plant-based substitutes and egg replacements. These dishes do not compromise on taste or quality, ensuring all guests enjoy an authentic schnitzel experience.
To complement these options, our sides and sauces include several vegan-friendly choices, such as our tangy red cabbage slaw and herb-infused Spätzle made without eggs upon request.
