Broadsheet writers are very cautious with how they use the word “best”. If you say something is the best, you’re making a serious claim and you’d better be prepared to stand by it. So when Madeline Wallman, opened her piece about Lovers Deli & Canteen with the line “Perth’s best schnitzel might just be frying at a cafe on a quiet corner in White Gum Valley”, I was hooked.
Here are all the details on the schnitty one Broadsheet writer is calling the best in the west.
What: Schnitzel
How: A chunky chicken schnitzel caked in golden buckwheat breading is topped with a light and zingy sauce of brown butter, capers, lemon and herbs. It’s served with a green salad on the side – so you can feel sufficiently and smugly healthy.
Cost: $28
Where: Lovers Deli & Canteen
