A
Solitary
To-die-for views, sublime food and inescapable romance are Solitary’s stock-in-trade – it’s not the place for solitary dining. Mains, such as venison-and-juniper sausages and ravioli with scallops and Moreton Bay bugs are inventive; desserts are downright sexy. Excellent service; reservations essential. The Solitary kiosk (open 10am to 4pm) has an informal, less-expensive menu.

B
Niagara
High ceilings with ornate cornices, oversized tiles underfoot and large wooden booths embellish this gay-/family-/vegetarian-friendly diner. The food is fab too: gourmet burgers, pastas and salads with a twist during the day, scrumptious steaks and fish at night. Monthly dinner-and-show Cabaret Nights are sequin-soaked spectaculars.

C
Savoy
The Savoy has booths (we love booths), perfect for day-time pastas, burgers, focaccias and salads. At night the lights lower and the menu lifts – progressive dishes such as pan-seared barramundi with lime and chilli, and kangaroo sirloin with roast zucchini, garlic and red wine jus bring smiles to faces.

D
Gallery Restaurant
This French-focused restaurant forms part of the Fine Art Gallery housed within a grand old Katoomba residence. Wander through the gallery between courses and admire (or buy, depending on how much wine you’ve consumed) the paintings, sculptures and glassware on display.

Paragon Café
The heritage-listed 1916 Paragon is Katoomba’s undisputed art-deco masterpiece. Sampling coffee and handmade chocolates in the salubrious surrounds is a compulsory Blue Mountains experience (Bob Dylan and Ginger Rogers both seemed to enjoy themselves).

IsoBar Café
Despite the hackneyed IsoBar name, this café hums with chilled vibes, ambient tunes and moody lighting - as funky as Katoomba gets. Tasty staples include Turkish toasties, burgers, stir-fries and salads.

G
Parakeet Café
This colourful cafe dishes up hearty staples along with the odd surprise such as the tempura hoki with chips. There are a couple of couches, a courtyard out back and wireless internet access.

Cafe Zuppa
This friendly mountain cafe brews excellent coffees and hot chocolates. The belly-warming burgers and sandwiches are foolproof, but the more experimental dishes are sometimes hit-and-miss.
