City Wine Shop Schnitzel Window

Overview

It's been a long time since anyone last enjoyed a session in City Wine Shop's buzzy streetside dining space, quaffing wine by the glass and nibbling on Euro-style snacks. And while we don't know exactly when you'll be able to do so next, the Spring Street venue is serving up a consolation prize to see you through the interim. Say g'day to the City Wine Shop's new takeaway schnitzel window.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the pop-up is slinging a picnic-friendly menu of loaded pork neck and chicken schnitzel rolls. Both options come paired with Italian-style slaw and mustard in a crunchy baguette, sided with crisps for an easy $16. They'll be available from 11am daily, until sold out.

To match, you'll find a range of takeaway cocktails, from a classic margarita and negroni, to the caffeine-charged Dionysus' Cup — a blend of coffee, ouzo, Averna and orange. And if vino's your preferred picnic accompaniment, there's the venue's famed wall of wine, filled with even more boozy takeaway offerings.

A friendly reminder that metro Melburnians can only travel within five kilometres of their home at the moment. You can check if City Wine Shop is in your bubble over here.
