The Wellington - Chicken Parmigiana

Kicking off a buck's night with a schnitzel is a daring bet. Too big and you'll be bloated for the rest of the evening. Too bad and you'll be heading home sick before having a drop.

The Wellington is a good looking pub. A nice open bar with nice lighting and good furnishings were a welcome site. The fully enclosed beer garden allowed for outside eating without sacrificing the comfort of the indoors.

P3150245 The salad was good, nice fresh greens and an almost whole tomato, it's about time. Negative points went to the long sprout like things which were difficult to pick up and eat after throwing back a few pints.

The chips were very tasty with good chip seasoning becoming a feature in North Adelaide. Cut to the chase, Chicken Parmigiana! The cheese was tasty and melted well without being overcooked. The ham was plentiful and the sauce covered the majority of the schnitzel. For the price it was a little small and left my stomach underfull. The smaller size made the topping too prominent in the schnitzel's taste. Overall, the meal lacked balance.

Price: $17
