Little Bavaria in Scarborough

New management is not even near the quality of the original Mr Eddy Schoenberg the finest schnitzel menu in Port Alberni

The spätzle were oily instead of buttery, the schnitzel was not traditionally pounded and battered… it looked like a frozen preformed meat. Everything needed seasoning. Generally a very disappointing experience. There is a sign on the door as you leave that says the greatest compliment is for you to tell your friends and family but we would not be recommending this place to anyone. We will not be back.

Decided to try again during lockdown after a nice dine in experience years back. We all ordered Schnitzel which was covered in cheese and tomatoes?? It was inedible and the spatzle had no flavour. Won’t be back.

Schnitzel, schnitzel, Käsespätzle and more schnitzel. Not that I'm complaining - their schnitzel is excellent, but don't look for variety here - this place specializes in one thing only. The place is very small, and can feel crowded if you're not alone. Service is friendly. Prices are above the norm for the area. Parking is usually not a problem.

absolutely terrible, I'm from Germany and this was the worst German food I've had in my life. Greasy, tasteless, low quality food.

Large menu of all kinds of schnitzels and German beers. Even a vegetarian schnitzel. Appetizers, salads soups & desserts. Very accommodating waiter. Service was prompt. Pricing was good. Plenty on the plate.

We went here to have some good German food. The decor made you feel you were in Bavaria. The food and service were very good. It deserves another visit.

This restaurant is located in a sketchy plaza. The interior was quaint and full of character (although the Christmas decorations could have been put away). The portions are generous, but not oveirly flavourful. Salad was awful. Very inattentive wait staff. Stemware came with lipstick stain. It was stifling hot inside. It was a relief to leave and get fresh air, and we were pleased to find the unsavoury loitering element did not burglarize our car.

I wrote a very good review on this place back in January but unfortunately, on our second visit we were really not too impressed. The house soup that came with your meal was very unappetizing and tasted like they had just taken very oily meat drippings, added flour and water to make a soup. It was nothing like the soup we had the first visit. I had the schnitzel with the mushroom sauce and although the schnitzel itself was cooked fine, the sauce was so thick and had no seasoning making it practically tasteless and inedible. On top of this, the waitress was not very friendly making this outing not a very enjoyable one. If not for the the schnitzel and the red cabbage which were tasty, I was actually tempted to rate this restaurant terrible, We won't come back

Excellent food, fresh salads and superb quality Scnitzels together with outstanding service from the serving staff. Johnney's succulent schnitzels are always cooked perfect to order and enjoyed by my many friends and overseas visitors

I am now a solid Canadian but was born in Germany. A friend took me to this restaurant as a special birthday treat. Having checked the menu displayed on the restaurant's web site I greatly looked forward to the treat and finished up bitterly disappointed. Although the décor was pseudo Bavarian,the menu offered on the restaurant's web site did not bear the lightest resemblance to the one offered at the table, which primarily consisted of pork schnitzel prepared in a variety of ways - there was just one veal schnitzel offered, which I had - it was mediocre. There were only two wait staff, both from different east Asian countries,neither of whom spoke German nor understood German cuisine or beer - the typical German staple. When I asked our waiter whether they had any weissbier he told me "No, never heard of it". I looked on the back of the menu where a number of varieties of weissbier were offered - I ordered and had one. I will not go there again.

Came to this cute restaurant for dinner with the family. With the german music in the background and decorations I could imagine being in some little town in Bavaria. We all really enjoyed the soup of the day which was cream of bacon as well as our schnitzels. The sauerkraut and red cabbage sides were yummy too, not too vinegry. We ordered crepes for dessert and although a bit too thick, they were delicious. We'll be back for sure.

I hadn't planned on reviewing this place until I read the reviews here. I grow up in this neighborhood and use to frequent this restaurant often. It was a busy place with the local residents calling this place one of their favorites! Fast forward to 2107 and I felt so sad to see what had become of this place. It is a joke. Kitchy, dirty and, to borrow a line from Andrew Knotts, having a proclivity to desecrate one of Austria’s national dishes with a number of offenses. When cooking this type of food, freshness, and cleanliness is paramount! Stale ingredients and dirty grease are reflected in, what should be, subtle tastes of Bavarian food. The high rating for this place boggles my mind!

I decided to go to this restaurant in Scarborough after reading the reviews. I was surprised by the decor once we entered the restaurant. We were seated immediately and ordered our drinks. The food, however, was the highlight of this culinary journey. I ordered the standard schnitzel, which came with red cabbage and dumplings. The food was nicely presented with a sufficient amount of food. The schnitzel was thin and fried to perfection. My partner had the goulash. Overall, the server was very nice and accommodating. I would return to try a different schnitzel choice. Auf Wiedersehen

This Restaurant is around for many many years. If you like Schnitzels you at the right place. They are big in size and taste. Especially with a Hacker Beer Will go back soon

The schnitzel and sausage are really good. The decorations and the music in here gives a very festive feel, very German. One of the best german place in town

We were all disappointed with the quality of the food. Service was great. The non-stop umpah music annoying. We were all disappointed in the quality of the food. The schnitzel must have been fried in some strange oil, the spaetzl also was not good and...

Great German Restaurant, our friend Dieter introduced us to this restaurant when we were in Toronto for a visit. Loved the decor gave us a welcoming European feeling. The Goulash Soup was the best I have had in Canada. We will visit again next time...

Cute, out-of-the-way German restaurant with a nice variety of meals. The walls are filled with artifacts and knick-knacks making it a fun place to eat. The food was hot and tasty and abundant. We had enough to take home for another meal. My only suggestion...

Every once in a while we undertake the long drive to a strip mall in eastern Scarborough, just beyond Markham Road, and enjoy the closest you can in Toronto to a Bavarian meal. The decor is somewhat over the top, but the music sets the...

very good variety of Bavarian food = all good= tasty. hot and no delays= with more than enough variety to satisfy 3 generations

I had a craving for spatzle and did an internet search. This was the closest restaurant from home so I went on Saturday evening, around 6:30. The restaurant was moderately busy and there were 2 servers. Service was pretty good. Both servers were helpful and...

Thanks again to TripAdvisor! We visited a friend in the Guild Hall/Scarborough Bluffs area and were looking for a highly rated local eatery. We weren't disappointed. The schnitzels (more kinds that we could count) were delicious (I had Hawaiian with pineapple; my husband had Munschausen...

Traditional Bavarian fare and real Bavarians cooking and serving! Mom and pop restaurant in a plaza so you don't expect too much but the food is amazing. It's generally not terribly crowded so it worked well for an intimate birthday lunch. Make a point to...

this is a quirky, little Bavarian/German restaurant located in a nondescript trip mall in Scarborough. Recommended to us, we all had wonderful meals, and would gladly go back. Huge portions,& lots of very good German/Bavarian foods. It is decorated with lots of kitschy German souvenirs...

This is a family owned and operated restaurant that has been in business for over 20 years in this location, and the service is attentive and friendly. The food is very good in authentic German style. The schnitzels are always excellent with very good red...

This is a neighborhood gem in Scarborough. If you like schnitzel and beer you have to come here! I believe most of the meals start off with a soup or garden salad. We always get the soup because it's really good. This time we had...

This is a family operated restaurant - husband, wife, daughter, nephew. The owners have an interesting background being of Indian decent from Germany. They operated a restaurant in Germany. Their experience showed in the varied menu of schnitzel & other German specialities. I started with...

Das Restaurant ist echt ein Geheimtipp und von einem deutschen Wirt betrieben. Der Chef steht selber noch in der Küche...

I was really looking forward to trying this little restaurant. The schniztel was fine and lots to choose from, but the spaztle was inedible. I don't know what happened to it, but it had not been freshly made and it smelled like it had been...

Little Bavaria is the best place for schnitzels and south German food generally that I know. Most of your group had schnitzels of varying description; my wife and I had Rindsrouladen. Mains come complete with soup or salad, potatoes or Spaetzle, red cabbage or sauerkraut,...

Whenever I travel to Toronto to visit family, I make a special point of visiting this neighbourhood restaurant. Owned by a family who spent many years in Germany, this unassuming little spot serves up large, delicious portions of German specialties. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent meal overall. Like most german restaurants they serve a salad and rye bread with butter which are ok. But then the main meal comes and it is excellent. The schnitzel was outstanding, huge piece, well cooked and very tasty. The red cabbage was just...

The best schnitzel i have had since i was in Germany! Very good apple strudal and red cabbage as well!

We've been going to Little Bavaria for years whenever we get a hankering for schnitzel. The food is always good.

For me,coming from Germany, the owner of this Culinary Heaven Johnny brings a tuch of Germany right into the heart of Scarborough. Check out Oktoberfest,and a definite must during the World Cup of Soccer. The food is to die for,the staff is friendly and professional....

My family have been coming to this restaurant for at least 15 years and last night was a huge disappointment. We made reservations for 6 p.m. We arrived expecting to have a great dinner at a leisurely pace. Last night the regular menu was not...

The restaurant sits in the middle of a shabby strip mall. We entered a warm and cozy room with the walls decorated with beer signs and German memorabilia to the point of looking cluttered. It does give you a feeling of being on holidays in...

If you crave for great german food and beer,this place has it all.It may be small in size but their menu has many delicious offerings,particularly schnitzels.For the starving couple we recommend their combination platter for two:Two smoked pork chops,two schnitzels,two big sausages with sauerkraut and...

Good value. All entrees include soup of day or salad as well as choice of noodles or potato and choice of vegetable .at least 15 different types of schnitzel and many other German specialties. German beers on draft. Limited wine list. Family run establishment.

Can't believe it took this long to visit this gem (c.1987). Considering how much we enjoy German food. They have quite a selection of schnitzels. We were celebrating my Mother's birthday, Mother had Cordon Bleu while my wife had Jager Schnitzels. They have added a...

I've been here a couple of times with a number of people, and we all agree that they have phenomenal tasting schnitzel! I personally have had the PARMESAN SCHNITZEL )breaded, topped with tomatoes, roasted onions & melted cheese) and the MÜNCHNER SCHNITZEL (breaded, topped with...

if you feel like pork schnitzel, spatzle (flour dumplings) and sauerkraut, this is the place for you! they even have curry, Spanish, and other more exotic schnitzels. Décor is a bit tired but food is good.

Although I have always said my Oma cooks the best schnitzel, these guys are definately a close second;) Amazing owners and a wonderful restaurant! It feels like you are right in the heart of Bavaria! If you want to truely experience the heart and soul...

Our went here for the first time in many, many years and we were very happy with the food and atmosphere. My elderly mother particularly loved the Bavarian background music (lots of yodeling!), and my kids enjoyed looking at the charming German knick-knacks that are...

We went here during Octoberfest and it was full. Food was good. Not great. I had goulash which was so/so. My wife had sausage and she couldn't finish it (didn't like it). Neither one of us are picky eaters. Our friends go there a lot...

It's a long trek along Eglinton Avenue East to get to this restaurant, and the strip mall it's located in looks seedy, but the journey is well worth it and the restaurant looks genuinely Bavarian in a kitschy way. The opportunities to eat authentic German...

We went for Oktoberfest they had live entertainment so it made for a fun evening. The food was pretty good I had the ham hocks with dumplings, the dumplings tasted like Stouffers, not bad just generically commercial tasting. My Wifey had the schnitzel which was...

An absolute gem. Discovered by looking for a German restaurant near our motel and was totally shocked at how wonderful it was. As others have mentioned, even the appearance within the strip mall is questionable, but once inside the second door, you feel you have...

Do you want the best German food in Ontario??? This is it!!! This restaurant is in a crazy, little strip mall in Scarborough but the restaurant itself feels like Germany. The food is outstanding and there is lots of it. It is the type of...

Located in an unprepossessing strip mall a long way out on Eglinton East, this place is delightful. The decoration is kitschy but it works, and the food is "echt Bayerisch": Schweinebraten, Kasseler Rippchen, Beef Rouladen, Käse Spätzle, various sausages, and more Schnitzels than you imagine...

Just ignore the seedy exterior of the strip mall that this little gem is located in! Although others have dogged this place for the kitschy and outdated German decor I think it is what makes the atmosphere. The food is always excellent and ample. I...

The restaurant is in Scarborough ONtario, Canada. Not England. We have visited the restaurant a few times. We love the food there. Tonight we had the grilled Salmon, Turkey Schnitzel, the cabbage roll and Bratwurst sausages. All very yummy. Love the red cabbages and potatoes....
