Steinheil: Schitzels Super Sized

If you're going to eat a Schnitzel, you might as well make sure that it is so big that it won't fit on any normal plate. I have recently been introduced to a restaurant called Steinheil, where for an easy 9 Euros, you can feast on a Schnitzel so large that you will need a) a few breaks in between and b) a large drink to help wash it down. In addition to the enormous Schnitzel, you are served a large portion of abosultely delish french fries and a starter salad. Upon entering Steinheil, you'll notice that it's a normal looking restaurant with wooden tables and chairs, unremarkable decor, no pomp, no circumstance, but it will always be full. And upon every table, you can be sure to see at least 1 or 2 people will be eating the enormous Schnitzel. The music though, is in my opinion, fantastic. A great mix of the Beatles, Led Zepplin and the Doors sets this restaurant from traditional to happening. 

It may be a little confusing to get to, but for the food, it is completely worth it. This restaurant is realtively unknown by tourist standards, but don't worry as most of the staff are students and thus, do speak English. So! Bring your appetite because you will not be disappointed. I promise you. The crunchy breading of the Schnitzel will fill your mouth as the slight tang of the lemon just pulls it all together. I suggest squeezing the lemon onto your Schnitzel as you eat it, so it stays crunchy, and save a bit for the fries as well. 

Enjoy!
