  2. Kuma Pies & Pastries

    This cosy slip of a cafe has bar stools where patrons can munch on a 'bushman' pie (cheese, bacon and beef) or a 'drover' (beef, mushy peas and bacon) for under $5. It does decent coffee.

  3. Snow Gums Restaurant

    In the Perisher Valley Hotel, this is a fine dining option in a cosy room with a fireplace and atmospheric bar. The à la carte menu has something for everyone but the gnocchi is especially good.

  4. Ruffles Restaurant

    Does a gourmet take on lunchtime favourites such as steak sandwiches, fish & chips and Caesar salads. It has a piano bar for cocktails - just turn a blind eye to the dated décor.

    Avalanche Café

    At the bottom of Ramshead chairlift, this place has an open-air grill. The whiff of fried onions is enough to tempt anyone off the slopes for a steak sandwich.

    Credo

    For a Mediterranean feast in a groovy establishment, this gets a good rap. It's a five-minute walk from the village centre.
