About Squires Loft Ballarat

Char-grilled cuts hit the table with exact doneness and deep sear marks inside this historic brick retreat on Grenville Street. Guests come for the consistency—thick eye fillets paired with creamy garlic sauces, 15-hour slow-cooked ribs, and roasted spuds baked fluffy in their skins at no extra charge. A floor-to-ceiling wine wall covers regional reds down to casual weeknight drops, while starters like warm feta mushrooms with garlic butter ease the pace before mains arrive.

  • Precise Char-Grill Steaks: Prime cuts arrive accurately temped over the grill, accompanied by bastes and rich sauces like creamy garlic or green peppercorn.
  • Inclusive Potato Sides: Mains include a choice of crisp fries, classic jacket potatoes, or baked sweet potatoes without added surcharges.
  • Slow-Basted Ribs & Wine Wall: Slow-cooked for 15 hours and basted in house marinade alongside an expansive, visible selection of regional wines.

    A visually showcased wine wall presents regional and cellar labels across diverse price brackets to pair with any cut or course.

  • 15-Hour Slow-Cooked Ribs & Indulgent Sides

    Slow-cooked for 15 hours and basted in house marinades, tender ribs pair alongside steaks and garlic butter feta mushrooms.

    From the garlic butter mushrooms, the 15-hour cooked ribs, the steak, AND the chocolate dessert all accompanied by a delicious bottle of red... The service was incredible, great experience.

    I'm a potato aficionado, and the big baked one that came with the steak was crisp skinned and fluffy inside just as the spud gods intended.
