Victoria Station Review

STATION FOOD AT RESTAURANT PRICE

Tonight was more of a last minute decision, we decided to try the Victoria Station in Burswood after we went to the VW dealer at Victoria Park. I have been to this particular restaurant twice before and food was reasonable. The atmosphere there was nice, very traditional sixties sort of restaurant.

In summary, if you are trying to impress your girlfriend, in-laws or overseas mates, this place would not be the "to-die-for" place to be, except for the Casino at burswood, which i presume some of the auntie and uncles would go. Beyond this, i can only say the food was typically of what you probably could get in any other restaurant. Simple effective and subtle type of food, that will almost be forgettable once it started, but i must say i think you are probably paying more for the ambiance rather than a top class food.

If you have to much money to burn, then of course by all means, spend your hard earn cash at the place. Now to tell you a little what we ate at the Station

For Starter... some bread and dip....( reasonable, can't see how it can go wrong with bread and oil)




For the 2nd starter ... Oyster Kilpatrick ( 1 dozen... but I think oyster bar serve much better oyster)




The Mains

I was being adventurous so i ordered ... braised rabbit ( My friend's Amely favourite pet... mmmm wonder when we can have more Wabbit meat...... whoaaaaaahahahahh)




This is so-so... taste like chicken

Below is my wifé's normal order ... beef tenderlion



Please give this a miss.... just a piece of meat"... not much to crow about.... i think i prefer meat with a bit of fat... this particular one is pure meat... .if you are dying for some really good steak try HOG's breath ... they are my favourite

Side order ... Caesar Salad ( This dish... you simply cannot go wrong... a few pieces of croûtons, cheese, salad sauce, lettuce and bacon bits. It would have been unforgivable if this one was bad)



So i would give this restaurant a 5.5 for its food, 6.5 for the atmosphere and an AWESOME 8 out of 10 for its price.

Guide : Recommend to someone whom you know has alot of money and don't know much about food.

PS Wagyu beef is sold there if you have loads of money give it a shot and let me know how you think....
