Church Bar
This restored 1850s church now attracts punters praying to a different deity: the god of wood-fired pizza. The soaring ceilings and verdant courtyard off William St make it one of the region's best eating and socialising venues.

Mill
In the heart of town, the Mill is Cowra’s oldest building, where the millstone first turned in 1861. The region’s Chardonnay has tickled many a palate; enjoy it here with a cheese platter.

Family Hotel

Neila
On Cowra's main drag, this small gem, with a contemporary Australian menu, is a tribute to the quality of food in the region and to the owners themselves who grow much of what ends up on the plate. It has received a chef's hat award nine years running. BYO.
