Schnitzel Degustation

Overview

The beloved schnitty might not be the first thing you think of when you hear the word "degustation", but that's all about to change. Inner west pub The Toxteth is celebrating Sydney's favourite crumbed chicken dish with a one-off, eight-course schnitzel degustation on Saturday, September 14.

For a tidy $50 a head, guests will find themselves tucking into eight crafty schnitzel dishes, featuring a whole swag of different proteins. There'll be a kangaroo schnitzel teamed with bush tomato and lemon myrtle, a fish number with baby capers and cheesy potato, and even a dessert schnitzel matched with chocolate mousse, Anzac biscuit crumbs and berries. As for the standard chicken version, it'll be elevated with a gutsy wasabi and sesame crumb.

Of course, a schnitty just isn't a schnitty without a cold beer to match, so Pirate Life has jumped on board to offer a special degustation beer pairing menu. You'll be able to team your dishes with matched beers from the South Aussie brewery for an extra $25 a head.

To book, head to The Toxteth Hotel website.
