Schnitzelz has been serving Abbotsford delicious, home-style German fare since 2014, and what really sets them apart is their schnitzel. If you love crisp, golden breading and tender, hand-pounded pork or chicken, this is the place you tell your friends about. The dining room seats about 60 people, and the open kitchen lets you see the care that goes into each order.

Their menu centres on classic German dishes done well. Expect several schnitzel options, including the house pork schnitzel, chicken cordon bleu, and a lighter Jägerschnitzel with mushroom gravy. They also offer bratwurst and knackwurst, a daily soup (often potato leek or goulash), and rotating specials such as sauerbraten or seasonal cabbage dishes. Portion sizes are generous; mains typically come with two sides like spaetzle, red cabbage, or hand-cut fries. For families, there are weekday lunch combos and a kids’ schnitzel plate that’s a hit with little appetites.

What you notice right away is how they work. Orders are prepared to order, schnitzels are breaded by hand each day, and sauces are made from scratch. The team includes long-time cooks who trained in Europe and front-of-house staff who know the menu and offer pairing suggestions for local beers and German-style lagers. Service is friendly and relaxed, not rushed—this is a place to linger over a plate and a conversation.

Schnitzelz is firmly rooted in the Abbotsford community. They cater local events, support nearby teams with fundraising nights, and host Oktoberfest-style gatherings in the fall. People keep coming back for familiar favourites, honest portions, and the kind of warmth you only get from a neighbourhood restaurant that treats regulars like neighbours.
