Jasna's European Meat & Deli — Restaurant in Kitchener

As a fellow European, I love exploring European restaurants for that "home away from home feeling". Right off the bat, if you have a large vehicle, you will most likely struggle finding a spot to park or fit, I have an suv and was weary of others maneuvering around my car in the lot, but the parking lot was also full when I parked. Walking inside its a typical euro grocery store/restaurant, loved the atmosphere, I ordered the Vienna Schnitzel with mashed potatoes instead of fries. The food was good and the portion was decent, but I couldn't take my time actually enjoying it because I was constantly trying to swat fruit flies, flies and wasps out of my plate. I completely lost my appetite when a fruit fly landed in the gravy and couldn't get out. I was so sick of so many things flying around my plate that I just wanted to get out of there.

Went for breakfast, will NOT go back again. The menu said home fries but I got regular french fries. Also ordered my eggs over easy and they came over hard. Not a drop of moisture in the yoke .

Also we did NOT finish eating it. It was terrible. Last of all, we DID pay for it. You got a bad post because your food and service was poor, terrible and...

• A hidden gem * This fine restaurant serves delicious homemade dishes in a relaxed, homely atmosphere that transports you to a different place.

And, to make matters even more interesting, it also shares this space with a European grocery store and deli. Great to tackle two things in one trip!

For their signature dish, the goulash was excellent. It was complemented by freshly baked bread and perfectly balanced coleslaw. Additionally, the cheeseburger was also good, and satisfied the cravings for healthier fast food alternatives!

As for dessert, try the apple or nut strudels for a light snack that won't put you into an after-lunch food coma!

Their prices are very reasonable, the preparation time was fast, and the location is convenient. I highly recommend a visit - and bring...
