Der Metz Restaurant

First visit but definitely not going to be the last. The atmosphere was great, reminds me of the restaurants over in Europe. Service was spot on, not to pushy but always there when you needed them. The food....AMAZING!!! Schnitzels the size of your head and cooked to perfection and you can get a second one for an extra $5. Deutsche Platte is to die for, delicately cooked pork roast and belly with a succulent gravy and scrumptious dumplingsstuffing.

Nice bayside location and generous sized portions but food in all honest overall decidedly average at best. Waitress was friendly.

This is not a pretentious poorly lit gourmet destination. Its a fun self aware ode to Germany beer houses. Beer in 1 litre steins. Big potions of big flavours. Meat potato sauerkraut gherkins. Go in have a full time and get your lederhosen on!

The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. Their portions are huge, so you also get to enjoy leftovers. I had the Champignonschnitzel, and the Heiße Liebe for dessert which I sadly couldn't finish as I was so full. I'm looking forward to going again.

FastFood Friday and Foodiebumz hit Der Metz in Kohimarama last night and found this was no Bavarian. If you want flashy and westernized you want Bavarian. Der Metz is more homestyle and hits you with larger than life meals most average ppl would have a hard time finishing or an islander would be happy to see . Schnitzels vary with beef, chicken and pork available and a selection of accompaniments. Pork roast and steak were enjoyed and although my pork hock had a harder skin than I'm used to, the inner flesh was tender and juicy. Old mate is adamant the fish was frozen not fresh however he cleaned his plate so hopefully that was at least a pass mark . Apple strudel was delicious as were the ice-cream dishes. 8 diners @ approximately $45 per diner... around par. Great to get out. FYI Bavarian @ Westfield Newmarket is now permanently closed
