Bread & Butter

This place is great if you know what to get & when to go.
Great:
Shnitzel Sandwich (or schnitzel anything)
Goulash Soup — YUMM
Blueberry cheese cake
Custard Slice
When to go:
Not when its busy, ie lunch/​dinner rush, or weekend breakfast rush. They simply don’t have the staff to handle this. It’s a small place. Once you understand these things, you’re good to go. Enjoy!

I haven’t been in this place for at least five years although I walk by it almost daily. The reason for the absence is that frankly the food isn’t that good, the order usually wrong, and the décor is not to my liking.
Today, in the mood for a toasted western I thought to give it another try. Mistake. Here’s my order «I’ll have a toasted western on brown, no butter». There was no where to sit so I told them I would sit on the patio. No, it leaks. Great, make it to go. After watching 3 complex orders placed after mine being served I enquire as to status. Soon, I was told. Minutes tick by as I watch children crawling on the floor. Finally a man again says soon.
Well I finally got it. Get home and open it up and of course it is wrong. Western omelette, half dozen tater tots, untoasted wimpy wonder bread of which one slice was the heel of the loaf.
I don’t think I’ll wait another five years but rather take a permanent pass on this place. I would advise you do the same.

Had the veal on a bun was really nice. owner was nice as well… Good spot for lunch, they have a nice variety of salads.

The food is okay. The service is atmosphere is very homely. The décor is kitsch.
The desserts are amazing! Cannot go wrong with any of their sweet cakes or cookies. I personally love the carrot cake.

what a disappointment, after reading some good reviews about how great it’s I thought to take the family for a Sunday lunch. I left wondering do these people really know any thing about European food.

Schnitzel is out of this world. Their serving sizes are great, their sandwiches are brilliant. Hell, even their coffee is good. Go here, that’s what I have to say.

Wow, so disappointing after reading the majority of reviews. Maybe we arrived too late for the lunch specials menu to still be in top form. I had the fish meal that was sitting in a casserole type of pan. In hindsight, I should have changed my order as I was expecting fresh, fresh home cooked meals as the café’s reputation states. What I got was overcooked fish, dry on the edges, smothered in completely over cooked vegetables. It was so unexpected. I left most of the veggies. When I told the waitress, she just said ‘sorry’. I ordered a latte which was tasteless and Luke warm. It was not my lucky day or the café’s. Definitely not the Fresh home cooked Sunday lunch as anticipated. We bought a shortbread on the way out and it was stale and dry. We will never return.

Ennnhhhhh… I don’t think I would come back here. I got the breakfast with eggs and potatoes and bacon i think? And toast. The plate was big and not full. Like, at least give me a smaller plate to fool the eyes? Nothing special about the breakfast.
I also got the schnitzel sammy with cheese. It wasn’t great — I’ve had MUCH better schnitzel, including my own (pardon my modesty). My suggestion is DO NOT put all the toppings on it — most of the stuff is pickled and a) acid arrywhere, hurts belly and b) it really takes away from the taste of the meat.
One this is the service was amazing, everyone who works here is cute and nice and adorable and you almost feel at home.
PS really small water cups :(really really small…

Went here with a friend for lunch, hearing that it was «the best schnitzel in town» we were excited to have a nice authentic meal. We walked into a little deli with a very quaint but tired décor (serious fading on the pictures). Looks like a lovely neighbourhood family lunch spot. The coffee was very good. It had a lovely head of foam on my large cappuccino, the rest of my meal and my friends meal though sadly was not good.
I ordered the «Deluxe Schnitzel Sandwich with Egg ($ 8.99)» while my friend ordered the «Schnitzel with a Caesar Salad ($ 11.99)». We also ordered the Spit Pea Soup ($ 3.50) but that never came, so I cannot review the soup.
First off «the best Schnitzel in town» is pre made, cold and microwaved. They had no shame microwaving the old schnitzel in front of the entire restaurant. Slapping the luke warm schnitzel in a kaiser bun with some condiments and calling it a day. My fried egg was just a side order that came on its own from the kitchen. I guess I was supposed to assemble the egg in the sandwich myself but they already cut my schnitzel sandwich in half so I was a little confused at what to do. Already this was far from what I was expecting.
The Schnitzel and Caesar Salad was terrible. If McDonalds releases a Schnitzel and Salad meal in the future let me assure you it will be better looking than what Bread and Butter put together. The cold dry schnitzel was cut up into rectangles and then placed on lightly tossed lettuce with caesar dressing and parmesan flakes. I don’t know how but this meal costs $ 3.00 more than the «Deluxe» with egg, bacon and cheese on a kaiser.
I gather that the family that runs Bread and Butter is originally from the eastern side of the Iron Curtain as their standards can only be described as needing improvement. Cold Schnitzel and sloppy presentation may have been good enough back in Eastern Europe but any German, Swiss or Austrian would laugh at the fare offered in this place.
Is it really too much to ask to move a prepared piece of raw meat from the refrigerator to a deep frier when a customer orders «the best schnitzel in town»?
TLDR– If you are looking for EXPENSIVE old microwaved schnitzel served with Eastern European «flair» look no further. But seriously if you are not getting coffee and pastries GTFO.

Basic and nothing special. Nice staff, though… Nothing I can’t make at home but ok for an early morning weekend jaunt.

Before I ordered goulash soups for take-​out this evening, I asked if the cook was Hungarian. The server’s answer was «yes.» Hard to believe, as the soups were unlike any goulash we’ve ever had: no meat, only slices of overcooked carrots and celery and five hard, flour dumplings. The thin broth tasted of nothing but cayenne and salt. Down the garburator!

Enjoyed lunch here on the weekend. Excellent schnitzel sandwiches that are made with a fresh kaiser or onion kaiser. The «everything» is lettuce, mayo, butter, mustard, pickles and hot peppers. The sauerkraut is wonderful and goulash soup hearty. The schnitzel was almost too big to finish. Friendly and helpful staff. We ate inside but there is a patio too. Very clean restaurant which is a favourite of locals for good reason.

The only place I know of that provides schnitzels north of Bloor in Toronto proper, this restaurant is quiet and very pleasant to visit for meal even without taking the food into account. The schnitzel sandwich makes for a great lunch but the platters are much more savoury, served with other German staples that go well together. Although a bit pricey as far as sandwiches go, the platters are quite reasonable.

schnitzel.schnitzel.schnitzel.boy I loved it.
We came across this small European café while walking on Mount Plesent. and saw that they had schnitzel; How could we refuse? The two ladies behind the counter were sweet and hilarious! The schnitzel was excellent, had a crunch to it, big, and severed on a soft bun with your choice of toppings.
If your in the area I strongly recommend you stop in and get a sandwich!

This is a cute old fashion café place straight out of Europe. They served excellent schnitzel that was seasoned great with the just perfect crispy texture to it. Best of all, everything in the place is so cheap for this caliber of food. If you are there, I also recommend trying the chocolate flavoured tarts they have, they have the regular size and mini sized for those watching their waistline.

Veal or Chicken schnitzel sandwich is pretty great and the Baklava is killer, truly authentic tasting. This place is great for a cheap dinner or a quick lunch. They also offer fresh made daily entrée specials.

Best home made chicken noodle soup!

Good breakfast place. Not really impressed with the f. toast

I love Bread and Butter!
Walking into Bread and Butter felt like I was transported from a big Western city to a grandmother’s kitchen in Germany. This place is cozy, clean, the décor is humble and old fashioned– wooden tables, embroidery print wallpaper, antique pieces around the place, lace curtains etc. They have a nice indoor area including window seats and an outdoor patio. The staff here is warm and hospitable and have a passion for what they’re doing. This place is more cafeteria style and does not have waiter service.
Bread and Butter offers inexpensive delicious home-​style dishes that will make your tastebuds dance! Besides their famous schnitzel, they have: deli plates ($ 7-​$ 8), breakfasts (under $ 6), sandwiches (under $ 8), a variety of homemade hot dishes ($ 8.49), soups and salads etc. They also have a nice selection of sweets that go well with their espresso beverages. The owner told me that they use his grandmother’s recipes for the sweets from back home.
My favorites:
Luck’s deluxe schnitzel sandwich ($ 7.15) — Gigantic piece of tender schnitzel wrapped in a thin layer of crispy breading sandwiched between your choice of plain or onion bun with bacon and cheese. You can also choose your toppings such as pickles, hot peppers, sauerkraut etc. The sandwich is fresh and yum!
Potato soup ($ 3.15) — Sounds like nothing special but perhaps the best potato soup ever! Fresh ingredients, flavorful base, some veggies and chunks of buttery perfectly cooked potatoes that will make you crave for more.
The sweets– I love them all. My favorites are: custard slice ($ 2.25), hazelnut cake ($ 4.15), chocolate rum balls ($ 1.99), and chocolate walnut cake ($ 4.15). You get a generous amount and once again, fresh! Savoring their sweets with their latte is a heavenly way to end the meal here.
I highly recommend Bread and Butter!

Upon a couple subsequents lunch visits I’m upping my 3.5* to a full 4* review.
Here’s why:
Dependable food quality
Unpretentious atmosphere with friendly service
Delicious home-​cooked food
Cheap!
I enjoy their special of butter dill sea bass comes with 2 filets of juicy white fish, salad, and some rice with peas. $ 9.49
Of course, their schnitzel is a must as well.
