Great family get-together with four generations of family! Child-accommodating too. Fabulous food and superb service. Excellent apple strudel. Been going there for years. A must stop in Unionville.

I usually don't post reviews but felt the need to share my last experience at the OCI.My wife and I have been going to the OCI restaurant for years and have always been satisfied with the food, service and prices.That said, my wife and I went to the OCI for dinner two weeks ago and were shocked to find the bill had doubled since our last visits in 2023. We both had a schnitzel plate, a coffee and shared a slice of carrot cake. Neither of us had alcoholic drinks. Yet, the final bill was nearly $120 with tip.While I realise the cost of food and goods has gone up in the past few years, inflation certainly didn't reach 100% - that's what the bill reflected.Regrettably, my wife and I have modest incomes and the price increases at the OCI have now excluded us as clients.

One of our favourite places to dine for schnitzel and apple strudel! This is the next best thing if you can't visit Austria! The restaurant is spacious with a relaxing atmosphere, and there's parking at just behind the restaurant (go early to get your spot!). Reservations are recommended especially on weekends and for holidays. Staff there are super friendly and helpful. We've been multiple times throughout the years and this restaurant never disappoints!Parking: Decent amount of parking, but the entrance to the restaurant parking lot is narrow.

Good food but unfriendly staffThey didn’t give us a good table although all of the tables were free at the time we were there and they were still empty until the next 40 minutes. And we had a reservation!!! They were not friendly at all, and it wasn't a pleasant experience in total.

80+ dollars for such a dissatisfying meal. For a place that’s apparently been specializing in game meats for over 40 years… I am very disappointed. No Bison for the bison steak ? I tried the Venison; they gave me 3 tiny pieces of tough beef… the potato side was nice. But they only give you 2… the cabbage was literally the star of the plate, which is sad considering it should usually be the protein that shines. All in all the food was poor, although the server was very friendly. Shout out to the server, and teach your cooks to make an alcohol sauce. It was more alcohol than sauce… and it was made with wine ? ??♂️ I think I walked out with a slight buzz

Love this place. The moment I stepped inside, it brought back great memories from my trip to Vienna many years ago. This place is a real gem and you can’t find such charming place in Markham any more. We had the Old Country Inn Schnitzel (which is breaded pork cutlet topped with brown sauce and mushrooms). The cutlet was moist and the sauce was delicious. After a satisfying meal, our lovely waitress recommended the apple fritters for dessert. So glad we took her advice and ordered it. It was crunchy outside with a soft warm apple center. The vanilla sauce served with it was just to die for. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture. This place really brought smile to my face. We will come back next time to try other dishes.

My wife and I have dined here several times now and plan to return many more times. We have recommended the Old Country Inn to colleagues, friends and family.The owner George is a genuinely friendly and welcoming gentleman. The ladies, Barbara and Melanie, who have brought our orders are knowledgeable and efficient, and very friendly.The food is a delight. The schnitzel reminded us of back home in Europe. The beef dishes are extraordinary, the soups are like Grandmother’s (Oma’s in German), the dumplings are delicious, the dessert pastry selection is wonderful and the wine selection is very good.We cannot recommend this restaurant more highly.Parking: If it is busy in Unionville and the restaurant is busy one has to a little longer to find parking.
Generous sizes of Schnitzel. But I did find the food a little bit on the bland side. Maybe I'm just used to Europe...Parking: Free parking for customers at the back.
