Chip's Loft - Footscray
Chip's Loft
Description
This spacious eatery offers a vibrant ambiance ideal for group gatherings, and they impressively allow flexible booking durations. However, the limited menu of only three items, which was not communicated in advance, left some diners disappointed. Service proved slow on multiple occasions, causing frustration, particularly with incorrect orders. Nevertheless, the selection of vegan options, clearly labeled on the menu, garnered positive feedback, as did the friendly and attentive staff. Diners appreciated the setting, especially the window views of Footscray Market. Overall, while there are notable shortcomings, there are also many reasons to return and explore further.

The restaurant always accommodates for vegans, even with the new limited menu which you can order from on your phone. I ordered the nachos with Smokey salsa, black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapeños, and sour cream, and simply selected the 'vegan' option when ordering. The toppings were generous and tasty. They also offer burritos, quesadilla, grilled corn, churros, and shoestring fries. I have visited a few times since they reopened after the 111-day lockdown in Melbourne and have noticed some changes. The atmosphere now feels more sporty, with more screens and louder volume. The old barber area is no longer there, but you can now sit outside on the balcony and people-watch, which is a great spot. Great for Melbournians who love sports!
The menu offers a wide variety of fantastic vegan dishes. I highly suggest trying the VSP and the Cubano. Both are incredibly tasty and definitely worth the price!
I had delicious fries and an average chickpea burger at this restaurant. The chickpea patty was a bit too starchy for my liking. Despite that, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of clearly labeled vegan choices on the menu, including vegan wines. The staff was friendly and attentive. I loved my table by the window with a view of Footscray Market. While I might not order the chickpea burger again, I am eager to return and sample other vegan dishes from the menu.
The service at this restaurant is exceptional, and the food and drinks are amazing. Don't miss out on the chance to try their tequila espresso martini!
