Squires Loft (Essendon)

Revisited

This steakhouse continues to be a local favourite in Essendon as word spreads of their house speciality, the steak!

I visited the Squires Loft in October and upon devouring a delicious eye fillet steak ($34/200g), a return visit was imminent.

Meat lovers revel in delight as your carnivore tastes will be satisfied.

Eat: On this occasion, my meat parcel of gold delivered once again. Flavoured with the house baste, the grill marks speak for themselves.

The porterhouse ($25.50/200g) is equally as delicious.

Squires Loft  (Essendon)

Steakhouse with bite

There appears to be a formula in the delivery of speciality steak as demand for Squires Loft has led to a franchise of 13 restaurants nationally, with six in Melbourne.

The secret is all in the Squires Loft baste. Whether it's the chicken breast fillet kebab, eye fillet or tiger prawns, all mains are flavoured with the house speciality.

Eat: Steak, steak and steak! Sauces and baste, with salads and sides and a little bit in between. There's even a vegetarian option, but it's all about the meat here. 

The baked garlic mushroom and fetta entree cleansed the palate in preparation for the main event, the eye fillet. Cooked to order (in fact to perfection), the meat was succulent an flavoursome.  The mushroom sauce, served on the side, made for an ideal marriage.
