The Pepper Tree Essendon

This place is a hidden gem. Food was AMAZING! Bruschetta was the best I’ve had. Barramundi cooked to perfection with crispy skin. Super friendly staff. Friends in the group ordered the seafood linguine & calamari. Both also beautifully cooked and serving sizes very generous. Definitely recommend and definitely be back. Give Peppertree Essendon a go. Won’t regret it.

Well surprised with the food and the hospitality od the owner who was extremely accommodating if myself and my date

Great service, friendly, im guessing was the owner.quick to suggest an egg and bacon roll, thankyou, it was the best ive had.fresh.coffee was good.only thing jam donut was stale.ist impressions.inside is a little dark.but will check out the beer garden as it warms up.

Dined here tonight with my partner after reading some good reviews and we were not disappointed. A beautiful honest family restaurant. Food was delicious, fresh and prompt. Wonderful service, decent price & tasty food. We will be back

I love this place it’s so cosy
Lovely family business so friendly and polite
Nice place for a function

Great sea food dishes. Loved the white bait and octopus with good size serves. Lovely beer garden at the back. Nice and quite.

Where do I start with this one.the owner Fidel and his sons Aaron & Anthony make this place hum straight off the bat. There are wines to suit every palette. I like a good.no great chardonnay.and in this my maiden voyage to this fine establishment had a wonderful one called Butterbox.
We chose vegetable croquettes & garlic prawns.which were both flavoursome and fresh.the rocket salad was a nice touch.
After a lengthy discussion.we chose the Platter for 2. We were not disappointed.home made sausage.chicken on a skewer.koftas.scotch fillet.pork belly.chips with dips of.tzatziki.hommus & eggplant salsa.
We were stuffed beyond our means.but we totally loved the food.the ambience.and the great value!
Do yourself a favour and don't miss out on this newly opened family business.it really is worth a crack!

Had the 500gram Rib-Eye With Mushroom Sauce, my wife had the same but with pepper sauce and our girls had spaghetti with meatballs. The steak that I had was absolutely delicious. I would drive from Geelong again & again just to have that rib eye steak again.
Service was fantastic & with a smile too. Extremely friendly & family orientated.

Great, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food. Service was really good. Beer garden out the back looked like a beautiful hidden little gem. Cannot wait to go back.
