![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Here's a tucked away little German restaurant that many seem to know about but I have only just discovered at Kohimarama called Der Metz.
What I liked:
1. Definitely the place you want to head to when celebrating Oktober Fest as the pork knuckle called 'Pork Hock' here is as huge as a baby's head comes served 'knife-in'
2. Generous cuts of meat and the one we ordered came beautifully slathered in a thick lovely peppercorn sauce complete with salad and fries.
3. The other reviewers have observed correctly that most people especially the women ask for a doggy bag takeaway as the portions are generally a lot to eat at one go but thats great if you are going straight home after and want left overs for another hearty meal.
4. The sauerkraut was good but a tad salty so go easy. Loved the spatzle and could have had that all on its own. Had no space for dessert but will be back for some next time.
5. Service was not the fastest but the restaurant fills up quickly at dinner time and on a weekend, it definitely has its fair share of regulars so I recommend you book ahead and be prepared to wait it out a bit for the kitchen to handle your order.
6. Fun interior with interesting decor and an overall good selection of German / European Beers
Looking forward to going back.
We had the best experience in this beautiful German restaurant with ambience, authentic german food, German beer and best service, can't fault it and will be back anytime
4.5 out of 5. First of, let me just say that this was probably the best dine I've ever had in this place since last year. Been here a few times and the first time I ordered the pork hock I was so by how soggy it tasted. But today I decided to give it another try and was blown away by the crispy skin and tasty meat. Also ordered the goulash which I thought was better than what I had in Vienna. The pork schnitzel was not as great as the chicken but still a favorite. Overall a good meal but extremely slow service.
Best schnitzel ever!!!!! Amazing wheat beers as well. Perfect place.š great location too. I wanna try the special pork knee that looks delicious š
Charming German restaurant with excellent food and service. Exceptionally large meals, best to go withan empty stomach. The schnitzel is a must. Great vaue !
Beware of the two portion schnitzel its absolutely and insane portion of food! Paprikaschnitzel with chips was good but i would definately go one portion maybe even to share as they offer alot of other food you could try as well. Beer selection fantastic go for the konig ludwig if you are a dark beer fan. Great service and the staff are freindly as. Fluent in german too!
Densely themed restaurant with great tasting food and friendly German wait staff. The location of the restaurant is a bit far from other restaurants and shops but parking is available. Portion sizes used to be huge but thatās been significantly reduced and the prices have remained the same. Would be 5 stars in my opinion if they hadnāt made the change.
This place is a little hidden treasure in mission bay. My family have been coming here for a few years now, ever since we found it. It is huge portions and cheap so if you love that this place is for you. Always have the schnitzel and the taste is amazing. My favourite is the cordon Bleu with the creamy mushroom sauce and potato salad. Everyone that comes here loves it.
We ate here recently and now this place is my wifeās favourite restaurant. The schnitzels are so huge and cooked to perfection. Great price as well. Very good range of beers too.
I like the ambience and the german beer. The staff is friendly but just that tad bit impatient. Small things like that matter so many just need a tweak there. The food quantity is great so be careful how much you order. The taste was good but not great. Still i love going there. I wish they had more space. It is cramped. Also being a little out of the main mission bay area makes parking easy. Overall keep up the good work
WIENER SCHNITZEL (aka Pork SCHNITZEL) & PORK HOCK - Recommended dishes here.
The Pork Schnitzel portions are amazing and absolutely delicious. Golden crunchy on the outside and has the perfect width on the inside. I personally loved the serving with mashed potato and with gravy. As the other reviews say, always get the double size and take the left overs home! I have tried the Beef Schnitzel aswell, which was delicious too, but personally loved the pork one more.
The Pork Hock is a dish that surprises. Visually it is served with a knife in the middle. I would say for portion wise, this would serve two adults with this one dish alone. Served with some pasta like noodles on the side and some sauerkraut.
The atmosphere is what makes this place amazing - colourful and makes you feel like you have travelled to the other side of the world.
Service was friendly and great. The wait time for the food was on the longer end, but it is worth it for the quality of food.
Will be back again!
Wow... what an amazing place to eat... food coma guaranteed.
Massive portion sizes (I reckon I would have struggled to get through the kids meal) - get the double schnitzel for a challenge. Hand cut fries, the salad was delicious, and the beer comes in appropriately sized vessels (ie: 1 liter).
Highly recommended and an amazing location close to town, with a great service team š
Good food, big portions, great atmosphere.
We had a good time there and enjoyed our meals. The service was a little slow but understandably due to several large bookings on the night. We were a table of 10 and there was another table of at least 20 with us all ordering pretty much at the same time. There were also lots of others in the restaurant on top of that with both sides of the restaurant full. Friendly staff great night out.
The pork hock and its egg noodles are so delicious, must try! The chicken schnitzel is tender also a good choice.
Food is great, the jƤgerschnitzel was delicious. Staff are very friendly. There are tables outside near heaters, which is a dog friendly area and more quiet than inside the restaurant. Service is not fast, so it isnāt a place for a quick meal. Would definitely come back for more schnitzel.
I do love a good schnitzel
Beer in 1L Steins
German nicknacks on the walls
What's not to like?
Oh yeah, very well priced too, $34 for two giant schnitzels on chips? Don't mind if I do
We ordered pork hock and beef with caramelised onions. The beef did not taste special, but I loved the sauce and mashed potato. The pork hock was very tasty. The crackling was so crispy and savoury. The meat was very tender and juicy. We will defintely go back to have pork hock again. However, we had to wait for more than 35-40minutes until the dishes were served. It was a bit boring to wait for that long.
Germany food, nice environment. Main dish is large
Excellent place. The meals are well portioned if you love a good large meal. ya gota try a wheat beer they are the best.
The food is very good but the service was pretty damn bad. We were the first people and the restaurant was empty but we got the bread after we finished the food!! There was a young guy there who seemed very confused, it could be his first day. The lady who helped us although there was a delay but she had a nice smile and very good attitude.
