A moderately priced restaurant with a fantastic wine list. Try anything from their wood fired oven - the lamb shoulder or roast salmon are our favourites.

Tucked just off the main street of Blackheath you will find this fantastic bakery - their pies are flakey and delicious. They have opened up another store in Leura but the original store as a lovely charm to it.

The quirky interior is a must-see when you're in Katoomba. The food is fine but not extraordinary, I recommend a stop in for a coffee or a smoothy to soak up the ambiance.

Drinks & Nightlife

A great pub with good bistro food and a separate restaurant. The recently renovated beer garden on the southern side has pleasant views and is a beautiful spot to soak up the afternoon sun with a gin and tonic.
