I`m from Austria and ordered the Wiener Schnitzel. It was almost like Home. Very Good and great experience. Thank you for the Schnitzel
I love this place and have been dining here for over 20 years whenever my vegetarian partner is out of town (this is no place for vegans). Sometimes the schnitzel is a tad overdone, but often it's perfect, and the servings and the service are generous and comforting. It is one of the only truly homey and welcoming restaurants left in the Spadina-to-Bathurst stretch.
A favourite spot when in Toronto, and an icon of Hungarian cuisine! I have never had anything but an excellent dining experience here, in a homey and cosy and unassuming atmosphere. (and I've been a patron for years!) No indigestion EVER! And, yeah, sometimes the breading flakes of the schnitzel, but sometimes, schnitzel happens.
I read the review in theToronto Star Feb 14 2007. Great review but experience was no where near the review My partner that dinned with me is hungarian. Cabbage rolls were $13.95 for 2 cabage rolls. We decided that they must be terrific so decided to split them even though it seemed quite pricey We added weiner shnitzell between us. Our order was delivered quite quickly and with a pleasant attitude. The cabbage rolls were very large and sitting on a bed of rather bland sauercrout. The cabbage was not very tender and we had trouble cutting it with a basic bread knife provided. I ended up pulling the filling out of the cabbage and discarding the tough cabbage. The filling was absolutely terrible, almost to the point of not being edible. It was a dense mass of mush and you could not determine what was rice or meat. It was barely warm and had a consistency of being previously frozen as they had a grainy texture. I have been making cabbage rolls from my Nanna's recipe for 40 years and she would turn over in her grave if she would have tried this discusting food. On to the shnitsell. THey were quite large in size and looked very appetizing, until we tried to eat them. The meat was paper thin and when trying to cut them ( again with a bread knife), the breading fell completely away from the meat and you were left with a tastless dried piece of who knows what. We could not finish either of these foods. They were served with a few boiled potatoes and even less home fries. Why serve 2 kinds of potatoes is beyond me. There was a small plate of pickled beets that were very bland and a spoonfull of plain rice. The sour cream that was served was the only thing that tasted like it should. The restaurant was quite busy. I have no idea why anyone would return here. The food was terrible and the prices were a rip - off. I am somewhat disabled on one leg. The parking outside was full of packed snow. You would think that a resturanter would make sure that access to there establishment would be kept clean and easily manageable. I fell trying to navigate the snow pile at the curb. Not a good start to what I thought would be a pleasant dinning experince We did not stay very long and both of us had indigestion for the next 2 hours. It goes to show you that a good review in the Star will bring patrons in. I think the Star should consider a new reviewer.

If your Dad doesn’t like fancy new restaurants and prefers something older, with foods he recognizes (what is this “quinoa” you speak of?), Country Style Hungarian is the perfect choice. Not only will the red and white-checkered tablecloths put him at ease, a bowl of their beef goulash or signature schnitzel dinners (veal or chicken) will fill him up in a way that no salmon dinner with brown rice could. It might not be the healthiest option, but since when was Dad all about kale and goji berries anyway?

The chicken is stewed, but is kept whole and on the bone come service time. The restaurant has been around for an astonishing 54 years. It had a recent overhaul last winter, but still maintains its traditional Hungarian menu.
