Food, Drink & Dining Out Steak

[Jordie_tackles]

Going to Dimazzi stone grill in essendon tonight, anyone been to this place?

 

[HARKER]

Years ago I went to a place called Vlado's, and it was the best steak i've ever had in my life. It might have been in Richmond, but I don't remember.

There isn't really anywhere special in Geelong. All very average. The Carlton does an alright steak though.

edit: I was right, it is in Richmond

The Vlado's experience is just a distant memory. Nowhere near the best steak any more.

Squires Loft is easy and never let's you down.
Probably better ones around though, as I haven't been eating meat as much in recent years.

Prob the best steak Ive had latley in Geelong was at the barwon heads hotel quiet pricey 30 odd bucks for a dirty big Tbone.
Parkers steak house is ment to be good never been there.Herd its pricey.

I vowed to never go to the Barwon Heads hotel again after a Christmas lunch there about 7 years ago

I dont know if I want to know if you know what i mean.I guess it was bad.
I thought the barwon head hotel would be much nicer than it is but there food was yummy.

Dont dismiss this out of hand


hogsbreath cafe - near chaddy

they slow cook their steaks.... they just melt

 

[Ess_don]

Agree with the Hogs Breath call, good price to if you have that card thing and get 25(?)% off.

No contributions from the West?
Havent tried many steak places being a typical uni student, so I usually just convince myself it cant be too different to buying a decent cut of scotch (special occasions!) and cooking it myself.

We have a Squires here too, might try that next time.

Very curious about Rockpool though, there's one here now but cant imagine forking out ~$130 for a piece of steak! No matter how "dry-aged" or "marbled" it is.. not in the near future anyway. Will definitely give it a go when Im more financially secure.

My biggest gripe with HB is that they "cannot physically cook a steak rare"

due to the way it is cooked in the water bath to an extent then only seared on the grill.

are tender though

I don't get the Squires Loft thing. Nice but a bit meh.

The Last Jar, which is the old Arthouse, does a very nice and reasonably priced steak selection too.

Vlados or Rockpool

Must in Highgate

Rockpool Bar & Grill at the Cas

Lots of good steaks here in WA, it's just that they all cost $50+

 

[Jade's]

Agree with many on here. My first three preferences in order:

Meat & Wine Co
Rockpool
Railway Hotel Port Melbourne

 

[chargers 09]

How do you guys get your steak cooked? i.e. rare, well done ect.

 

[Impunity!]

5 minutes in the microwave while I read Roby's Power Rankings and it's done

Vlado passed away today.

 

[Impunity!]

Vale Vlado

His steak was too beautiful for this world

 

[MaddAdam]

He has gone to meat his maker.

 

[Impunity!]

Is there a book of condolences?

I would like to fillet with my best wishes

 

[Crimson Azure]

Meat & Wine Co

Heard they are very good but not been there yet.

Outback Jacks are great!!

Bluefire at pier 35 has some good steaks, well it did last time I went there. Red Hill Estate does the best eye fillet I've had.

For me I mostly like to buy & cook my own steak that way I have it cooked exactly how I want it every time. Got a great butcher in Newport I get my meat from.

 

[MaddAdam]

He was a rare breed of human being. He was a perfectionist, stuff wasn't just well done, it was flawless.

And when the chips were down, you knew you could rely on him.

 

[Impunity!]

I'll never forget that steak he cooked at the 'Gabba

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

My tender thoughts are with his family. Will be hard to sauce another such seasoned professional to replace the great man.

 

[La Vache]

And when the coleslaw was down, you knew you could rely on him.

Sorry, just a small edit.
