Small quaint location, staff/owners are amazing and food is fantastic. One of the best schnitzel in town! Atmosphere is a bit dated, not everyone's vibe. I'll take service and food over modern decor any day!

We had been at St. Jacob's farmers market and were looking for a place to eat lunch before heading home. We saw it had a 4.7 rating and none of the three of us had eaten schnitzel in a long time. We ate lunch inside only due to the number of hornets out these days. All three of us had the Vienna schnitzel. It is a very generous portion of schnitzel with very generous portions of potatoes and coleslaw. The only issue any of us had was there was too much salt on the potatoes, but, I have overlooked that in the food rating and given them 5 stars because they are one of the few places who know how to get the potato crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will go back again next time we are out in that area. The service was fast and friendly and the food came quickly.

A hidden gem! The best schnitzel in KW hands down. The service is super friendly and the food is great. It's hard to find places this authentic that stay true to family recipes nowadays. A MUST try.

I've eaten here a couple of times and really enjoyed the food each time. I highly recommend the karadjordjeva schnitzel. The cheese filling is incredibly delicious and the schnitzel itself is cooked to perfection. Their portions are generous and their prices are quite reasonable as well. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

This is a must try. The food here is so tasty. Our table shared the platter and salad and everything tasted so good. We didn’t leave with any leftovers because we just wanted to keep eating everything while it was warm and freshly made. The restaurant is small but has plenty of charm. We were there for a late lunch so we had the restaurant to ourselves for the majority of our visit. That being said, the service could have been slightly more attentive to us. Once the restaurant had a few more diners come in, the server did come by more. Overall, a great experience and will return again.

Running away from a terrible university event, we decided to try this restaurant and it rescued our weekend from getting ruined! The Gypsy Schnitzel and the plum brandy tasted amazing. Lepina bread with Chevapi, the buttery sour cream, and the perfectly-fried fries were also a joy in every bite. We were excited to experience so many new, great flavors in one setting. Although the restaurant was popular and quite small, we arrived in a quiet time and were able to be seated quickly. They had a very nice patio with brand new benches and young pine-like trees. The service was quick and super friendly. We are convinced to be back many more times!

How to turn good food into a bad meal 101 taught by our server Friday night I called Friday morning for a reservation for 8. I asked for 630 since their website said it closes at 8pm. I was offered 645 and accepted that. We arrived at an almost empty restaurant. Our server took out drink orders and food promptly. The schnitzel was well received by all who had it. I ordered the smoked pork chops. They are cut thin this creates an issue keeping them moist and that was the issue here . At least 2 bowls of soup were ordered. One was being shared by a couple as a sort of shared dinner. The other ordered by someone who had ordered a main. Both soups came out with the mains. This was the beginning of the communication issues that the server could use a refresher course in. Why would someone ordering a main dish want their soup with it. If youre not sure, your job is to ask. In retrospect it appears he was in a hurry As we sat at the table chatting our server refilled water as requested and the clock ticked. They also have a card on the table with dessert and Im sure they have coffee but we will never know because none was ever offered. At 823 he was standing behind the bar, we asked for the check that was also never offered. His snide response was sure since we closed 45 minutes ago.. Ahhh now his curt handling of any after dinner anything is clear. He thought we were keeping him. Here are the rubs 1 I asked for a 630 table and he offered a 645. He was under the impression that the place closes at 730. Why offer a 8 top a table knowing you close in 45 minutes. Especially if he thinks its a 730 close. 2 if you offer a table 45 minutes before you think the restaurant closes, maybe you have some responsibility to say I can seat you then but we close at 730. 3 at the table at some point a responsible server would give the table some idea the restaurant is closing. Turning off a light off on the back where no one is isnt saying by the way we close on 10 minutes 4 if you offer the table then offer full service such as coffee or dessert or if you cant then dont offer the table. 5 make sure your website not Google which also shows 8pm closing but your own website has the correct hours. It isnt our fault that we actually read the hours on your own website. (I took a screenshot of your site with the 8pm closing ) Maybe the server would be helped by reading the site too. 6 simply communicate. is there anything else or can I bring you the check. Had he done that and we stuck around he could be reviewing me a poor guest instead he is the poor server with terrible communication skills . 7. He didnt know but 3 of the 7 at the table are former servers all within the last 10 years and 1 current. They suggest being as obnoxious as your comment was to people who are about to decide what to tip you might not be in your best financial interests .

★★
September 22, 2024

Schnitzel was dry. Hunter sauce was a starchy chicken broth thickened with perhaps cornstarch and sliced fried mushrooms added. Pretty much tasteless. The pork was generous, sliced thinly and well-cooked. Fried potatoes were fine. Service was fast, impersonal, and had the impression I was intruding on the staffs time. Room is very clean, atmosphere is 1950s soda shop. Restaurant is basically 2 small variety stores whose walls have been punctured by two connecting openings (kitchen in one store, restaurant in the other.) The 5-star rating attracted us. Since Kitchener has a large German-origin one would think the reviews would be indicative of the food since the raters would have tasted original scnitzels in their homes or relatives homes. Apparently not.

★★
August 22, 2024

Got dinner here based on recommendation from coworkers and the Google reviews looked very good. Food was very subpar. Lepina bread with cheese tasted good but seemed like it was microwaved based on the squishy texture that turned rubber on the edges. Hunter schnitzel meal was not good. Worst schnitzel Ive had ever. Too salty and the Hunter sauce tasted like terrible packaged gravy with flavourless mushrooms and onions. Coleslaw was vinegar based and not my favourite either. Potato fries are more lile homefries and were very crisp and overly salty. We wont be back unfortunately.

The hunter schnitzel gavy was sour and made me sick. Canned mushrooms too. Gross.

Restaurant is in a roomy house which adds to the family style atmosphere. Food came very fast and fresh. Ordered the large Hunter Schnitzel which was cooked perfectly with a delicious mushroom gravy on top. Schnitzel was huge and took up over half the plate. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Extremely disappointing. The Karadjordjeva schnitzel was stuffed with what tasted like Philadelphia cream cheese, not kajmak. Served with generic, over-salted homefries. Everything was fried in dirty oil. I cannot understand why this place is so highly reviewed.

Tried this place after reading great reviews. Overall the food was good, but all four guests felt everything seemed on the salty side. Service was super fast, one person for the place, it felt a little rushed but not offensively so. The only challenge was the washroom. Two of four needed to visit and it was down a very long steep staircase and was acceptably clean in certain ways but very obviously needed some thorough spring cleaning (think dirty and cobwebs in the exposed plumbing around the sink etc). Overall we agreed that takeout of certain dishes wed be open to again as it was tasty and we very much like to support a family business. Parking: The restaurant is a converted house so the parking lot is smallish. It would maybe 8 cars and the maneuvering might be tight, but do-able. Its not a huge restaurant so likely 8 vehicles of people would fill the restaurant too.

Sometimes Google reviews let me down. Came here for the first time based on the glorious reviews and left stunned thinking how on earth would a place this mediocre be rated well. Food appeared extremely quickly which is highly suspicious as that means it was simply heated up rather than prepared fresh. Looking at the dish though and that made sense. Bland, generic, out of a box/bag type food that lacked any seasoning of flavor. It was all just PLAIN at best. A cheap breakfast from Sunset tastes better than this. Utter disbelief. Nothing tasted home made, or special, or restaurant quality. I guess people looking for slightly better than a microwave dinner experience will find the low prices and low quality appealing. To everyone else, if you want to enjoy a Restaurant quality meal, there are better choices around.

I will agree that the restaurant is quaint. It seems to me that your reviews are hand selected as there is not one negative comment. I was there for a Birthday Dinner on Aug 2/23 and it was the worst of the worst. The Schitzel was not hot and seemed like it was not freshly made. Potatos were luke warm and salad coleslaw was over salted. The only good thing was we received a 10% discount as we paid by cash. I will never visit your establishment again nor recommend.

Veslo is a brilliant neighborhood restaurant that specializes in traditional Serbian and Balkan food. The food is simple and very delicious. I had the goulash soup, lepinja bread with cheese, and Vienna schnitzel -- all were excellent. I recommend the lepinja bread and I would say the schnitzel is the best in town, unseating some of my long standing favorites. Dining in is low key and comfortable. Outdoor seating is available on a covered patio. Service is prompt and courteous. Easy parking.

Real home cooked meals, true European flavours, good beer. We called last minute and the owners were kind and let us order large shopska salad, lapina bread with homemade cheese and hunter schnitzel with mushrooms.

Had dinner with my family and I am so impressed the best authentic food ever delicious and hot and fresh

Was met with an extremely rude worker at the restaurant. Who was extremely disrespectful from when i came there till when i left. Its unfortunate because the food was okay, but i nor my family will ever return again. its a family restaurant so i assume you cant just fire your son but if that attitude keeps up they will be out of business because nobody has time for disrespect while they eat. Do better

My favorite restaurant. Nobody touches the food. Great atmosphere. If I could go every week I would, I settle for trying to go at least once a month.

Our entire experience at Veslo was top notch. Wish we could go all the time. The schnitzel was light and crispy and delicious. The potato fries are some of the best fries we have had anywhere. The service was very respectful and warm and helpful. Also, love that it is family owned and family run!

The service was good, if a bit rushed. The restaurant is very small with limited seating. I had the Vienna schnitzel, which was a good size but slightly dry. It came with fried potatoes (quite good) and coleslaw. My cutlery was Dollar Store stamped cutlery, but my companions silverware was fine. There was little to no atmosphere. Very good value for the money, but note that they dont accept MasterCard.
