The ever-growing city
of Parramatta continues to receive
love from both food lovers and restaurateurs. Chophouse in Sydney is one of the most loved restaurants by many
(including yours truly) for their steaks and grilled meats. I’m so glad to
announce that my favourite place for steak has now opened its doors in
Parramatta on Friday the 26th of
October.
Chophouse Parramatta is located at
the old Jamie’s Italian spot on Centenary Square. They pretty much kept most of
the industrial fittings and added some chic and their own twist to the space.
The bar has a decent range of booze and menu of cocktails to please everyone.
The food menu has a great range of steaks from pasture fed to grain fed and a
5+ grade Wagyu. There’s starters like crab doughnuts, scallops on shell, beef
carpacio and fried chicken available. There’s a nice selection of desserts
available too.
If you like pâté
in general then you need to order their chicken
liver pâté ($19).
It comes with toasted brioche and jam. The pâté itself was velvety with savoury and
sweet notes. The pâté
together with fluffy buttery toast was just stellar. I feel like the jam was
not needed.
The fried chicken with blue cheese dip
($18) was also another hit. It’s served in smoked apple wood. The fried
thigh chicken fillet itself almost has the texture of karaage chicken and the
coating is full of umami with peppery notes.

The main star of the show is their massive 400grams
dry aged sirloin on a bone ($61 with chips and salad). This is one of the
tastiest steaks I’ve ever had. It was nicely seasoned and cooked medium. The
caramelised bits of the meat gave extra umami and extra developed flavours from
the aging process. The texture was so tender and buttery. You also get a choice
of sauces to go with your steak. We opted for the sweet and peppery diane
sauce.
Every steak comes with twice-cooked
chips. It was perfect! Crisped on the outside and fluffy buttery on the
inside.
Their signature chocolate block with
honeycomb and salt ($10) is just
as good as I remember it. It tasted like a premium toblerone.
If you plan to MEAT up with family, friends and work colleagues in Parramatta,
