Silk's Brasserie

Since 1994 Silk's Brasserie has been the go-to restaurant for quality dining on the Blue Mountains. Warm attentive service and great food set the standard. Open 7 days for both lunch and dinner, bookings are always recommended and often essential. (Check for public holidays, we're not always open.)

We had lunch here during a tour of the Blue Mountains area. A pretty interior. Because we were on a tour and schedule we were given the abbreviated tour menu and the choices were okay, but the regular menu had many more interesting items. We thought the service would be good and prompt given the welcome, but unfortunately, the service deteriorated as the meal went on. We all ordered easy and quick menu items, but there were a handful of large parties ordering off the regular menu and things really dragged for us. Our guide came back after an hour and figured we would be having dessert and we had not yet gotten our main course. The starters were good, but the main course really lacked much flavor. A very average meal with less than average service unfortunately for us.

Papadino's Katoomba Pizzeria and Family Restaurant

Reviewed By spotofclass - Coffs Harbour, Australia

This noisy buzzing restaurant seems a hit with families. The menu is mainly pizza & pasta. My husband had pizza which he enjoyed, but wasn't out of the ordinary. I ordered eggplant parmigiana, which was a HUGE serve. It was extremely oily & salty. Staff were run off their feet but still managed a smile, were helpful & curteous.

Avalon

Set in the historic Savoy picture theatre building, Avalon Restaurant & Cocktail Bar at Katoomba combines playful art-deco charm with hearty food, friendly service and spectacular Blue Mountains views. Located on main street Katoomba, enter the historic Savoy picture theatre foyer and make your way past the ticket booth and up the stairs. The restaurant inhabits the dress circle of the old theatre, and offers a decor of quirky retro finds and spectacular mountain views over Leura and the Jamison Valley. Meals are prepared in the old projection room, and cocktails and retro tunes are served in the former refreshment lounge, now a cosy bar complete with roaring fireplace. The art deco architecture is complemented by an eclectic collection of furnishings and artwork. The style of service is casual and friendly. Licensed and BYO wine.

A wonderful experience dining in an old art deco theatre among an extensive display of memorabilia and knick knacks. Service is excellent, friendly and professional. Menu has something for most palates, is well presented and with some generous serve sizes. We had an excellent time...MoreHi Emanpee, thanks for your lovely review. We're glad you enjoyed your visit, and look forward to seeing you again. Cheers

My fiancé took me out to a valentines dinner. Unfortunately we both agreed the service made this dinner one of the least romantic dinners we've ever had. It left us with a very sour taste in our mouths, despite enjoying the food. (Although butter with bread should be a given.)
We won't return, and we won't recommend.

Katoomba Canton Palace

Reviewed By Nicole M - Katoomba, Australia

We have eaten in and had takeaway before. The last experience was very disappointing. We picked up the takeaway and went to a nearby lookout to enjoy the food, views and company with friends. It was quite embarrassing when you've told your friends this place has great food then you start opening up the containers and they were only half- 3/4 full. Mostly all liquid with hardly any vegetables or meat.The fried rice was 95% plain rice. It was a very disappointing meal. I have no idea what has happened as they were great in the past.

This place is an absolute find! Travelled with a teener and my grandmother... we split the lunch meal to 3 as it was a huge serving. It was a simple restaurant but always busy with Asians and whites. Toilet was clean, service was fast with kind helpful waitresses. Even the male supervisor was nice and very polite.
What more can I say?! Had salt and pepper fish, Asian buffalo chicken, Singaporean noodles. It was just pure goodness!

Station Bar & Wood Fired Pizza

Reviewed By Timbers627 - Melbourne, Australia

We had a great community-style meal with friends on the eve of the 'Six Foot Track' Marathon, and really enjoyed the experience.
The pizzas are tasty and there is good variety, and the wine list is creative, with a good selection of local area wines, even organic ones!
