With restaurants all around Australia - you wouldn't expect such a decent meal from a brand that has been franchised. But not only does Squires Loft deliver on a decent meal, I would even rate it as having one of the top steaks of Melbourne.
On this occasion I visited the South Yarra venue, which is conveniently just opposite South Yarra train station. To eat I ordered the 200g eye fillet ($38) with blue cheese sauce ($5.75) and to share we ordered a large Greek salad ($13) and baked mushrooms with fetta and herbed butter sauce ($9.00).
The steak was cooked exceptionally and was rich with flavour. Whilst it first appeared to be overcooked, it definitely didn't taste that way - the meat was so incredibly tender that it could have been cut with a butter knife. And the blue cheese sauce - well, an absolute must if you are blue cheese fan! At $5.75 a serve it's a touch on the pricey side - but with such a generous serve, the price tag can be forgiven!
It's no secret that steak and mushrooms are a match made in heaven, and the baked mushrooms with fetta and herb butter were no exception. Herby, buttery and cheesy - the mushrooms were not only cooked exceptionally, they tasted delicious!
However, next time I will be giving the Greek salad a miss. Unfortunately it was about as inspiring as a Greek Salad you can get at the pre-made salad section in a grocery store.
Good steak, good fries and good sauce - how can you go wrong? Squires Loft, we will be meeting again soon!
