Schnitzel Cologne – What would southern German-Austrian cuisine be without the world-famous Wiener Schnitzel?
That’s why the WIENER SCHNITZEL is the centerpiece of our menu, highly coveted by our guests and the focus of our offer. If you’re looking for the best schnitzel in Cologne, you’ve come to the right place.
riginally prepared according to a Viennese recipe: Only the best meat from the young calf, pounded wafer-thin but juicy, breaded with eggs and breadcrumbs, fried golden yellow in a pan with the finest clarified butter and pure vegetable oil.
The name “WIENER SCHNITZEL” came into use under the legendary Austrian Emperor Franz-Joseph in the middle of the 19th century and goes back to the COTOLETTA ALLA MILANESE in northern Italy, which was under Habsburg rule at the time.
Legend has it that the Austrian Field Marshal Radetzky – everyone knows the famous Radetzky March at the end of the annual New Year’s concert in Vienna – brought the recipe from Italy to the imperial court in Vienna in 1857. There he personally handed the recipe over to the emperor. Since then, it has been an integral part of Austrian cuisine.

1.
A schnitzel is only a “WIENER SCHNITZEL” if it comes from veal. Tender meat from a young calf of the best quality, the so-called emperor cut of veal. The lean and tender cut is given a butterfly shape with the folding cut, whereby the thick slice is not completely cut and then opened up.
2.
Each schnitzel puff is pounded thinly by hand, not by machine. The characteristic knocking, which can be heard with such auspicious regularity when the schnitzel is expertly flattened, is an integral part of an Austrian restaurant and music to the ears of every Viennese.
3.
The freshly pounded meat is carefully breaded in a coating of free-range eggs and breadcrumbs. Incidentally, its soft grey color makes it easy to distinguish from a pork schnitzel with a distinctly white color.
4.
The schnitzel is quickly fried in a hot pan in fragrant clarified butter and/or a first-class vegetable oil until golden brown.
5.
The plate-sized schnitzel is served to the eagerly waiting guest with a choice of warm potato and cucumber salad, French fries or boiled potato with butter and parsley.
