Der Metz Restaurant

Dre Metz is a German restaurant and although it was a Thursday night, but the place was full of people.  It was not my first time in Der Metz, but I can go and dine at this restaurant every night.  I love the whole atmosphere as I feel I am in Germany.  The beer jugs, the flags, the music and even the waitresses were German. 

It is a B.Y.O. as well but they charge you for the corkage of course.  

We were greeted as we walked in through the doors and directed to a nice table.   The waitresses were very kind and friendly and were dressed in the traditional German dirndl, which made the restaurant even more authentic German restaurant.   The service was great and the food came out in a reasonable time.

Food and Drinks

Garlic Bread $ 8.00

Garlic Bread was our entrée.  It was about 10 pieces of French Baguette slices, toasted in the oven with batter, garlic and herbs, simple but delicious. 

Chicken Schnitzel “Wiener Art” $28.00

Chicken Schnitzel Wiener Art was ordered to have salad instead of mash potato or chips.   The schnitzels were pan fried, bread crumbed chicken breasts served with a bawl of salad.  There is a choice of one or two pieces of schnitzel (two pieces will cast $5 extra) so we went for two pieces.  The schnitzels were beautiful, but the salad was not as fresh as expected.  Over all it was a great dish.

Wiener Schnitzel $27.00

Wiener Schnitzel is pan fried, bread crumbed pork which could be served with mash potato or chips.  You can order one piece or two pieces (for an extra $5.00).  This dish had two pieces of schnitzel and I have to say it was huge.  I have a feeling that this dish came out with more than two pieces of schnitzel on it.  For the Wiener Schnitzel we order mash potato which was very nice and creamy with generous amounts. 

Pork Spare Ribs $26.00

The Pork Spare ribs were the highlight of the night for me.  Three huge pieces of pork ribs, cooked to perfection, served in sweet chilli-honey sauce and chips.  The pork ribs were huge and the taste amazing.  I loved the sweet chilli-honey sauce combination as well since it was not too hot for me (mind you I do love hot food).
