    This lively wine bar–style eatery has attracted quite a bit of hype, and the attention of Sydney-based foodies who have been arriving each weekend in droves, since its opening in early 2018. It’s so popular, in fact, the restaurant is now demanding a $48 minimum spend from each diner on the weekend. A truly unusual move for a Blue Mountains eatery but with dishes like the sizzling Jamaican spiced prawns for a main and the wild scallop tartare for a starter, worth it.

    This buzzy and award-winning eatery housed in an old garage opposite the railway station in Leura serves top-notch food in a delightfully informal setting. Dishes are designed to share and although they might sound simple in name, they are simply astounding. The menu changes seasonally but meat from local farms are always featured. Most of the produce is local and all of the wine is sourced from nearby Mudgee or Orange district. One of the few places in the mountains, other than traditional cafés, to have all-day dining.

    Thanks to its Sydney-standard food, wine, and service, Silk's still rates as one of the finest Blue Mountains restaurants after more than 20 years. The restaurant is housed in a Federation-era building, and in colder months a log fire warms the century-old simple but elegant interior, where yellow ocher walls reach from black-and-white checkerboard floor to sky-high ceiling. The menu here changes seasonally, with a minimum three courses dinner that costs A$75 on a Friday and A$85 on a Saturday. Only open for lunch on a Sunday, with a three course minimum costing A$75.

    In Glenbrook, one of the first Blue Mountains towns you'll reach coming from Sydney, this is a great place for breakfast or a relaxing lunch before continuing to Wentworth Falls, about a 30-minute drive west. Dinner is served Thursday through Saturday, with the menu firmly focusing on local produce, especially organic meat from Lithgow Valley (on the other side of the mountains). The menu offers both large eats and share plates. 2773 serves only fair-trade tea, coffee, and chocolate and uses many organically grown ingredients and locally sourced beer and wine. Live music on Sunday afternoon is a great way to enjoy the weekend. Kids love meeting the pigs out the back.

    From its prime spot in Blue Mountains National Park, on a cliff overlooking the Jamison Valley, this spacious, mud-brick bistro serves simple, savory fare. Lovely brunch dishes include herbed mushrooms with a poached egg and roasted tomatoes on sourdough toast. For lunch, dig into hearty soups, beef pies, or cheese tartlet. Be sure to save room for the dessert cakes. An open balcony is a delight on warm days, and a fire blazes in the cooler months. A hiking trail from the bistro leads down into the Valley of the Waters, one of the splendors of the mountains. It's a wonderful pre- or postmeal walk.

    Found on the ground floor of a three-story Federation era building, this café has a bit of a '70s hippy vibe. Inside is filled with mix-matched upcycled furniture. There's the front room that looks out over the busy main strip of Katoomba. And the backroom, which looks out over native trees. The menu changes every day, with hearty eats like fresh pumpkin soup and chowder staple in the winter months. It also doubles up as a popular juice bar.

    Some people travel to the Blue Mountains just to dine here, so make sure you book ahead at this cozy café that revolutionized dining in rural New South Wales. Operated by Phillip Searle (formerly one of the leading lights of Sydney's dining scene) and Barry Ross, Vulcan's specializes in slow-roasted dishes, cooked in a century-old baker's oven and flavored with Asian or Middle Eastern spices The duckling sausage and glazed pork dishes are locals' favorites. The restaurant's checkerboard ice cream—with star anise, pineapple, licorice, and vanilla flavors—is a favorite that tastes as good as it looks. Dinner is served at two sittings, so diners at the 6 pm sitting have little time to linger before they must vacate their tables for the 8 pm sitting.

    Bilpin is the apple capital of New South Wales and this friendly little roadside restaurant is set among the orchards. Wood-fired pizzas are a popular choice here, while the ever-changing specials blackboard may feature wood-grilled locally raised Black Angus Beef eye fillet steak and the wood-grilled pork shoulder with caramelized apples (local, of course). This is a great place for a lunch of gourmet pizza or more upscale dishes such as wood-grilled barramundi on poached choy sum (Friday–Monday) before or after touring the Mount Tomah Botanic Garden, which is about 10 km (6 miles) west—closer to Mount Victoria—on the same road. Dinner is also served Friday–Sunday, but whenever you dine save space for either a slice of upside-down apple cake or homemade apple sorbet with apple crisps, all made from local apples.

    Amid the antiques and vintage shops of Blackheath village, this acclaimed restaurant looks a little like a Parisian bistro, although the black-and-white photographs on the wall are of prominent Australians. Sydneysiders and locals turn up for Sunday lunch or dinner to feast on the six-course (A$90) tasting menu, although you can also order à la carte. You might start with a spring salad of honey-baked beetroot, house-made labneh, candied walnuts with tea-soaked muscats, and hibiscus vinaigrette, or the Egyptian-spice quail on Cape Malay carrot remoulade with sticky-eggplant jam. Mains include fish pie with wild sea scallops, tiger prawns, and fennel-infused snapper velouté, and slow-roasted crispy-skin duck with Persian aromatics and citrus flavors.

    A great spot to stop for breakfast or lunch when driving across the mountains, this unassuming little café and food store in a former post office opposite the railway station at Medlow Bath has a loyal local fan base. The Reuben (corned beef on rye with cheese and spicy slaw) and steak sandwiches receive particular praise here, and the toasted fig and cranberry bread is worth trying. There is a range of gourmet produce on sale as well.

    With its chandeliers, gleaming cappuccino machine, and bas-relief figures above the booths, this wood-paneled, art deco café opened in 1916 was a favorite Blue Mountains eatery in its heyday. There are much better places to eat nearby these days, but it's still worth dropping in for a coffee or one of 52 varieties of homemade chocolates, and to marvel at the opulence of the interior. A variety of events are staged on weekends throughout the year, including Regency dances, 1920s tango nights, and screenings of classic movies; most include dinner.
