Wiener-Schnitzel Haus

Great staff. Great food. As a visitor to Calgary, it was the perfect way to start our trip. Our server had wonderful recommendations for food, drink and things to do in Calgary. We felt welcome and happy.

One of our fave places in Calgary
Family run

Being a big fan of Austrian German food and having traveled around Germany and Austria, I think this place is very authentic in the food it serves. The goulash soup was very very good, homemade, meaty and flavorful. Jäger schnitzel was also a star dish on our table. The chicken schnitzel was massive so I didn’t finish it. Side dishes are good as well although a little pricey for the portion. Then we finished it off with the apfelstrudle which was also excellent. Definitely will go again!

Was looking forward to German food and especially spaetzel, but the staff was rude and I suspect they aren’t fond of people with kids.

Firstly, the food was good, in fact it was very good. However, the size of the portions does not warrant the high prices. This is comfort food at best, not fine dining.
Having been to Germany and Austria many times, I can tell you without a doubt that the food is truly authentic. However, the portion sizes are extremely small in comparison of what you would get at a gasthaus in Europe.
Therefore either portion sizes need to be increased to justify the cost, or the side dishes need to be included. Having grown up on this type of food made by my Oma, she would roll over in her grave if she knew how much this restaurant charges for a side order of Rotkohl (red cabbage): $ 9.00 for one cup of cabbage. I’m sorry but that is robbery.
Yes the food is good. Unfortunately, you are going to pay thru the nose to experience it.
Sadly, we will not be going back to this restaurant. I cannot justify taking out a second mortgage to eat what amounts to peasant food. It is good, but not that good.
Shame on you, Wiener Schnitzel Haus, shame.

My hubby and I wanted to have German for Valentine’s Day! I looked on Unilocal and found Wiener schnitchiel house. the service was fantastic, so friendly! The food was amazing! Thank you for a fantastic Valentines!

Really bad experience, food is way overpriced and the entrées are so small you would think they were appetizers. Won’t be back, Das Wirtshaus is way better!

Every time I go here I can’t wait to go back. I’ve had the traditional wiener-​schnitzel always with spatzle (it’s the greatest!), I’ve also had the pear and brie schnitzel which is also very very very good. The vegetables are always cooked to perfection, as is the schnitzel and spatzle (German dumpling pasta). I have gone here multiple times with one other person and I’ve also been here with a group of 6. They are such friendly staff and the food is amazing! It’s a small restaurant so you may want to make reservations.

Did the take out. Was so disappointed at the amount of food we got, for the price that we had paid. Will not be going back here anytime soon.

Just had dinner here with my wife and parents. Really enjoyed the experience. Food was great and Vera, the waitress was fantastic. (That’s why the 5 stars.)
We arrived at 4 after driving down from Lake Louise. The place is small but since we were the only ones there, it was perfect.
We had various schnitzels and the salads were delicious. Had some Austrian beer that set the tone.
This is the kind of place you like to find on Unilocal.This was our last stop in Canada and it made the end a great last meal.

My son and I went here for lunch today around 1:00pm, had the schnitzel chips DELICIOUS, then we ordered ½ dozen Raw oysters SUPERB! And finally the pork hock with mixed veggies and purple sauerkraut AMAZING!!! Along with a stellar atmosphere and awesome service having lunch here was an experience I am going to enjoy over and over ! Thank you Würst Überhaus !!!
Also fantastic beer that can be drank out of a traditional 1 litre stein or 2 litre glass boot :)

We stopped in tonight for dinner as schnitzel really sounded good and something different. The food was really good, but the service was pretty lackluster — it was somewhat of a bother for the 2 tables that were occupied. Hopefully the service picks up when the crowds do too because the food is definitely worth a visit. I thoroughly enjoyed my haus schnitzel and my husband did as well.

This is a nice, small family business. They offer authentic Austrian food and make most of the food from scratch. We had a cheese and meat platter for two to start with, the food on there was good but it wasn’t a lot, especially regarding the price. Same with the other two dishes we had, small portions for a high price. The schnitzel don’t come with a lot of sides so you have to order them separately. The gulasch soup was so over seasoned with cinnamon that I couldn’t eat the whole small bowl, and I was small.
This is a bit hard for me to review because the food is quite good, you just don’t get a lot compared to what you pay for it, which is too bad. I’ve been to several restaurants in Austria and always got pretty decent portions.

Go enjoy this authentic Austrian family restaurant for a date, or quiet family dinner, but don’t tell anyone else about it!
Let’s hide this gem for ourselves :))
suffices to say… One of my best dining experiences in Calgary!

Didn’t have a reservation but had to wait for 20mins. Food was really good. Appreciate the previous review on the appetizer

The food is good and the service is fine. However, the value is quite poor.

Enjoyed a chicken schnitzel and alpen
Schnitzel, Austrian salads, extra red cabbage and apple strudel for dessert. With the meal I had a Konig Ludwig
weissbier (which I am very familiar with). The schnitzels were outstanding however my wife’s portion was larger which isn’t a big deal but it made me want mine to be bigger. Actually in comparison to other German restaurants I’ve been to the portions weren’t as generous. For that reason and the price tag of our dinner I knocked a star off. We were full but for our meals then a tip we were up to $ 80 for two people. We’re no stranger to expensive meals but for a meal my wife didn’t love and I’ve felt like I’ve had better, that’s a little too much in my opinion. I would recommend anyone try it for themselves.

The food is exceptional. The service is outstanding, if a restaurant could be «a home away from home «then this would be mine. Perfect dinner, take your time and enjoy.

What a welcome alternative of cuisine this was for us!
Amazing where life takes you at times. We found ourselves in the area without a vehicle thanks to ours getting a flat tire today. Too icy to walk around where we ended up so a business across the road had recommended this restaurant to us. Upon looking at it, one could be quite certain due to its name that it is something similar to German but you would not know how quaint it is inside until you go in!
It was not too busy initially but almost a full house it was when we left. That has got to say something!
This is a family run business with the emphasis on Austrian food. Normally, I would not choose to come here unless invited as I usually love my food to be bold, spicy and in your face. But, fate ruled, this is where we ate and I am so glad for it!
The owner was our server and host — she could not have been more kind, welcoming, thoughtful or intuitive of our needs.
Wine was needed on a this hectic day and the house red (Castillo) was fantastic at $ 10 a glass. We had to take a cab home so what the hell, I had 2 glasses. Hubby had Dab, an Austrian beer that he had never had before and loved it, said it was nice and light.
We ordered the Haus schnitzel with fries for him ($ 24) and I got the traditional wiener schnitzel ($ 21). Mine, pounded ever so thin was larger than the plate (pic to follow!) and I got fries and salad served on the side. Man, the food was good here. I can never eat a whole plate of food, but I did on this date! The fries were perfectly golden and the salad was interesting in a good way. Purple cabbage, potato salad with dill, lettuce, coleslaw, cukes, all in one little bowl. The pork schnitzel was so good with lemon wedges. The breading is very simple, just bread crumbs (the meat is seasoned, not the breadcrumbs), but done right. All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked SO good! Hubby‘s pork was not quite as pounded out as mine and was stuffed with Swiss cheese, ham and fresh mushrooms!
The water for the table (no charge!) had an herbal flavour to it — it was like a basil or mint leaf in it, something like that.
I love family run businesses and this place was just so out of the ordinary for us, it was a welcome change!
We opted to not have dessert but we devoured the little Swiss chocolates that came before the bill! The owner even called our cab for us!
4.5 stars. I would change the music in here but that is about it!

Finally; a place that sells true Austrian-​style schnitzel; that means butterflied, pounded flat, with flaky light, puffy breading. None of this thick juicy stuff here. The spatzle is authentic as well.
Also had the kalt plasse which I can wholeheartedly recommend; having a nice assortment of dried meats and cheeses in typical German style.
Very cozy, great service. Prices are a bit higher, but well worth it.
