Food Scene

Usually closed for dinner due to Weddings but cellar door and the restaurant serve a beautiful relaxed lunch and local wines. I love the blue cheese and pear pizza and my husband can't go past the crab linguine. Beautiful fireplaces for a cosy lunch in winter or a beautiful outdoor space in summer.

A special occasion al-la carte fine dining resturant. A beautiful sandstone historic building with delicious al-la-carte menu. Open fires and small rooms. Food is exceptional.

Highly renown french patisserie and bakery with people travelling great distances to take home the pastries. Always a line in the bowral store on the weekend but Mittagong (closed Sundays I think) and Berrima outlets are also an option.
