Holy Schnitz, There’s An 8-Course Schnitty Degustation Hitting Sydney

Degustation is the careful, appreciative tasting of food. And you know what food I appreciate? Schnitzel. Buckle up, because the legends at The Toxteth in Sydney’s Glebe are putting on a massive schnitzel degustation next month featuring eight (8, eight, EIGHT!) different kinds of schnitty.
The pub is giving the humble chicken schnitzel a glow-up — eight glow-ups, to be precise — and you can eat them all in one sitting while wearing your comfiest, stretchiest pants.

Dessert schnitzel. What a world we live in. This one’s crafted by the gods from chocolate mousse, Anzac biscuit crumbs and berries.
[related_articles]75643,75153,75633[/related_articles]The chicken schnitzel degustation is available for one day only — Saturday, September 14. You can book a table for $50, or add on a bit extra and pay $75 to get matching beers. The brews are from Pirate Life Brewery and have all been specially picked for the occasion.
Check out the full Schnitzel Degustation menu:
- Abalone schnitzel with seaweed and radishes
- Eggplant schnitzel, crushed tomato, and mozzarella cheese
- Dory schnitzel, salted baby capers, fondant potato, and lime mayo
- Turkey schnitzel with pickled cabbage and apple sauce
- Veal schnitzel, mushroom and sage butter, and mash potato
- Wasabi and sesame crumbed chicken schnitzel with steamed rice
- Kangaroo schnitzel, bush tomato compote and lemon myrtle
- Dessert schnitzel, chocolate mousse, Anzac biscuit crumbs, and berries
It’s in celebration of World Schnitzel Day, and we can only hope that more restaurants take a crumbed leaf out of The Toxeth’s book.
