After watching the Swans first home game of the season (and 2nd loss!) we decided to drive over to Pott Point and tuck into a grand meal at Maggie's. This institution is owned and run by one of the original founders of Una's. Maggie has created a restaurant that is true to her Austrian heritage.

The decor is a little tacky - wooden chairs and tables with hand painted images, paintings of Austrian royalty and terracotta floor tiles. We arrived for an early dinner and were welcomed like long lost friends. There were some dinner specials on offer and I couldn't go past the farmers plate - half a pork knuckle, pork loin, bratwurst, sour kraut and potato rosti - the size of the plate was enormous - the serving was easily enough for two. My swans buddy opted for the veal schnitzel with potato rosti and cabbage salad - again, the serving was huge and she received two massive peices of schnitzel on the plate. So big, in fact, they were almost hanging off the plate.

The food was delivered promptly and was really good - not usually a fan of sour kraut - I found this to be very tasty. A tub of mustard also arrived at the table that was the perfect accompaniment for the pork knuckle - yum! The value for money here is without question - a main meal is between $15 - 22 and you are served a monstrous meal. Bring your appetite!

Due to the size of the meals there was no way we could have entertained the thought of dessert - however I've been told they do a sensational traditional apple strudel. I'll be back...
