Steak night


Well I must admit… I was never normally one to choose steak from the menu when dining out, but one visit to The Station Hotel a few years back may have swayed me. I have now visited this relaxed pub on quite a regular basis of the late, introducing more and more friends on each visit, with the promise of tender steak and quality produce. 


Visitors pile in for a taste of what seems to be the talk of the Footscray community, so be sure to make a booking as tables fill up fast! If the dining area does fill up however, there’s always plenty of options with the bar and courtyard areas available for a casual dining experience.  With so much choice, it can sometimes be hard deciding on which cut to go with, but I assure you no disappointment shall be found. As for the sides, I can’t go past the simple green beans or heirloom carrots (but portions are fit for a king and I can never seem to get through everything). Also be sure to ask for a serving of Bearnaise on the side! 


“Only steak?” I hear you say… well no! The Station Hotel’s menu sports quite the variety, but I can’t help to boast about their steak selection. It has certainly opened my eyes to a new perspective on ordering a good ol’ steak and with The Age reviewing this place as one of the top 5 eateries for a fine steak, there’s no surprise why! This local hot spot is shedding some light on Melbourne’s inner western region and has taken pub style dining to a new level.

Before I send you off drooling there’s just one more thing I’d like to draw your attention to when you do visit… the wine list!! Enough said… you will see.

  1. I'm with you... the place is fabulous and the food is first class.. be sure to try the French Onion Soup... best I've ever experienced, but don't order it AND the steak on the same night... you'll never get through it all..

  2. I have been three times, had Three different steaks, cooked three different ways ......and they were all fantastic!

    I have sat at the bar and in the restaurant area ...both nice, but completely different.

    Again, another quality post, will keep watching this space :)
