Europe Bar & Restaurant

For those who miss Paprika (which closed a year or so ago), this is a really good alternative! And it’s close to where Paprika used to be.
Despite not being sure how to manage eating it (broken elbow has left me navigating the world one handed), I have been Craving Chicken schnitzel since I saw a picture of one on Unilocal.With time to spare and being in the area, I had to give into my craving (ok, didn’t have to but really wanted to). This place offers take out as well as dine in options and have a varied menu.
I ordered their schnitzel and dumplings and it was divine! Chicken was moist and the coating had a nice crunch to it. The dumplings and gravy were soft and not overly salty, the accompanying gravy allowed you to determine how saucy the dumplings/​chicken would be. They were fast and although it was slightly more expensive than I was expecting, IMHO it was worth every penny.
It was quiet when I was there but I can imagine it can get quite busy and loud during the lunch/​dinner hours.
Authentic European cuisine and I would say it’s a must try! They’ve definitely gained a customer! Look forward to future meal at Europe!

I enjoyed eating here last week. The décor could use some updating though I appreciated the charm of the Hungarian style.
The food was very tasty and plentiful. I had Wiener schnitzel which was accompanied by little dumplings and sauce.
I think the cucumber salad could use some help so I didn’t eat it. Some little things could help them, for example if they were to bring my Pepsi with a glass. Just classier than bringing a can of pop to the table with a straw.
My guests had the paprikash and perogies. Very nice. Presentation could improve slightly as well.
Bathroom needs a complete Reno.

I’ve had way better goulash soup for cheaper at a nice place called bread and butter with a proper Hungarian goulash.
This one had big pieces of meat but was pretty fatty and the broth just wasn’t right was not spiced well and had a heavy meat flavour.
My co worker chose a schnitzel dinner, it looked pretty good.

Found this restaurant on Unilocal while visiting Toronto and went there for lunch on a Sunday. The menu was typical Eastern European. We ordered the platter for four to share among 4 adults and 2 young kids. The stack of meat on the platter was quite impressive. The cabbage rolls which came with the platter were excellent. I particularly liked the broth which I soaked up with the rye bread. The schnitzel and pork chops were tender and tasty, seasoned and cooked just right. The pickled cucumber slices although on the sweet side were also quite good. All of us including the kids enjoyed our meal very much.
I should also give kudos to our server, one person taking care of the almost full restaurant, she took care of all our needs.

Ive been to this restaurant numerous times and till this day still get the chicken schnitzel with the home fries, cucumber salad and the cherry streusel for dessert but the best appetizer to get is the most amazing fried cheese it is absolutely the best thing I’ve had in my whole life l love going there it is one of my favourite restaurants.

My boyfriend and I went here yesterday because we wanted to try something new and different. Someone had suggested we try Hungarian food, and we were up in North York so google and BlogTO told me that Europe Bar and Restaurant is the best Hungarian food in town. Let me just tell you. The interior design and waitress were very nice, but the food was very veryyyyy bland and mediocre! My boyfriend got the chicken wiener schnitzel and I got the chicken cordon bleu with a side of Hungarian dumplings. Everything was very bland and tasteless. It was basically the same thing as eating fried chicken, but KFC and Popeyes are muchhh better (never thought I would say that lol). I feel bad saying this as the lady serving us was really nice, but I definitely don’t recommend going here. Hopefully not all Hungarian food tastes like this!

The Europe is a lot like The Country Style on Bloor West, but with more space to move around in. (Which is useful after eating their food.) Hungarian food has fallen out of favour with health conscious people, With good reason, the portions are enormous and heavy on the meat and grease. It used to be popular with poor students but is no longer particularly cheap or vegetarian friendly. The restaurants on Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst are mostly all gone, replaced by sushi restaurants. I’m glad the Europe on Lawrence and Bathurst is still upholding the tradition. The food is great! you can get schnitzel with dumplings, goulash, cheese noodles, strudel and palacinta (a crêpe with walnuts or jam inside).

This is a great restaurant if you love a great big Weiner Snitchzel. I used to go the Hungarian restaurants on Bloor St. but they all seem to have closed. My entire family love it –even my picky son who has the chicken snitchzel –guess it’s like a really big chicken finger to him! The breading is so light and the portions are great. Took my Hungarian parents and they now go all the time. It’s a bit if a hole in the wall but the food and prices are unbeatable!
