Katoomba Restaurants

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Paragon Café

    The heritage-listed 1916 Paragon is Katoomba's undisputed Art Deco masterpiece. Sampling coffee and chocolates in the salubrious surrounds is a compulsory Blue Mountains experience.

  4. 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 like pan-seared barramundi with lime and chilli, and kangaroo sirloin with roast zucchini, garlic and red wine jus bring smiles to faces.

  5. Solitary

    To-die-for views, sublime food and inescapable romance are Solitary's stock in trade - not the place for solitary dining. Mains like venison and juniper sausages, and scallop and Moreton Bay bug ravioli are inventive; desserts are downright sexy. Excellent service; reservations essential.
