Best Modern Australian Restaurants in Blue Mountains

Food was amazing, everyone loved every meal....Staff member Sienna was fantastic so accommodating and she was funny and approachable....will definitely be coming back, hope Sienna is working when we do.

We hadn't been to this place for years, since a pretty mediocre experience when it was called Rosewood Cottage. One Orient had good reviews so we thought we'd try it again. The new management has done a fantastic job of refurbishing it, there was a welcome roaring fire and the menu contains something for everyone. All dishes we chose (scallop starters, steak and chips, and gnocchi) we very tasty and nicely cooked. We would definitely go back.

An amazing dining experience as part of my wife and my weekly ‘date nights’. We went for a walk along the waterfront before dinner. We had arrived earlier than scheduled so I called to change the time, which they accommodated. The service was exceptional and we were made to feel welcomed and valued. We had the hot seafood platters, warm bread and garlic butter, and ended with a rich crème caramel all of which looked fantastic and tasted delicious. Thank you to the wait staff and chef for a wonderful dinner.

Very good service and lovely outstanding dishes - We can absolutely recommend Fairways restaurant :)

From the moment we booked, the attention to detail was impeccable. We were celebrating my son’s 18th birthday with a party of 12, and everything was handled beautifully from start to finish. We had a fantastic table spacious, comfortable, and perfect for a larger group. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable, helped guide us through the menu, and ensured our drinks and entrées were served promptly. We had heard so much about the beef brisket tacos and the famous cob loaf garlic bread… and WOW they absolutely lived up to the hype. The melted garlic butter poured over at the table took it to another level. The salt and pepper calamari was unbelievably tender honestly tasted like it had been caught fresh that morning. We ordered a couple of share platters for entrées, and the presentation and flavours were outstanding every bite was a flavour explosion. You can tell the chef has that kitchen absolutely humming. Then came the mains… and this is where the real magic happened. Wagyu sirloin, truffle mac and cheese, grilled barramundi, slow-cooked ribs, eye fillets, charred broccolini, fries, creamy mash, chimichurri, creamy mushroom and peppercorn sauces everything was incredible. We went from being probably the loudest table in the restaurant to the quietest… just a chorus of “OMG you have to try this” and “wow” going around the table. The wait staff were attentive the entire time clearing plates, refreshing cutlery, keeping napkins stocked, and discreetly maintaining the table without interrupting the experience. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the team came together with the maître d’ carrying the cake to our table and everyone sang Happy Birthday such a beautiful and memorable touch. Sadly, we had no room left for dessert or coffee, but we will absolutely be back to try more of the menu. I can’t thank the team enough for making the night so special. And to anyone reading negative reviews go and experience it for yourself. 100000000/10
