Cappuccino with a view
Inga S.

Spectacular views..easy parking for our long van...breakfast and lunch menu all day long, perfect for me since I can't eat eggs! Clean restaurant and facilities and we can go on a hike right here!

The Conservation Hut is open 7 days a week serving breakfast snacks and lunch with dinner being served during the summer months so customers can enjoy the sunsets. The views from The Conservation Hut are in two words: Phenomenal and Breathtaking;. high up and overlooking Blue Mountains National Park. Weather permitting the best seating is out on their open veranda. As for food, the lunch food I had was a surprisingly good smoked trout hash with egg. Though I could only give them Three Stars on their food with a plus for being unique, I'm not going to rate The Conservation Hut on their food but instead on the location with its marvelous stunning and beautiful views.....Five Stars.

Ok maybe it is because we didn't expect such a nice breakfast and tranquil setting before us, but what a surprise to have a delicious sit down breakfast at one of the most spectacular places in Australia. The smoked salmon has was delicious. The hash itself was perfectly crispy but not greasy and the salmon was delicate and not too salty. Lovely olive oil too. The ham and cheese croissant was light and warm. And the cheese nice and creamy with delicious ham. We were lucky to be here on a quiet Monday at 11c and sunny too. Wonderful!

Pretty good place for food if you're in the blue mountains. Good views from the terrace and food was on par. Tried the smoked trout on potato hash. Pretty tasty with some pesto drizzled on the side. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Chicken curry

Stopped at The Conservation Hut for lunch on the way to the Blue Mountains Wasn't expecting much from this place, but the food was actually pretty good. Portions are on the smaller side though. Ordered the chicken curry which I thought was pretty good!

Quandong icecream and blood orange sorbet by the open fire looking out over mountains stretching to the horizon. Need I say more? Off the beaten track is this hideaway right in the middle of the Blue Mountains National Park. A light, airy space that not only provides great food and coffee but is the starting point for a bunch of bushwalks into the Valley-of-the-Waters (how poetic!) if you feel so inclined. Lots of stairs. Be warned. You may need added refreshment on your way back. They serve consistently good cafe-style food, with kids' options and some GF choices. They're also open for dinner on the weekends in the summer months. My only quibble with the food is that their coffees only come in regular size. Please guys, some of us need more caffeine and suspect this is a cunning ploy to make us buy two... But the view is what really counts here. On a tiny road shared with a bunch of B&B's The Conservation Hut is my fav place to take visitors to the Mountains or if I just need some serious calm. Even if the weather's foggy (not uncommon up here) it's beautiful, like you're floating off into a silver void. And clearly has a poetic influence. You'll be spouting pentameter in no time.

Stopped on bus trip. We had steak sandwich and belt. The belt was very good. The steak sandwich had beets on it which was a bit odd. They also have ice cream you can purchase. Service was good and very friendly.

What a find!!! After seeing the Three Sisters, we took the shuttle back into town for some lunch…read more My fellow Yelpers did not let me down. What a unique interior- hard to explain but almost like being on a ship. They told us they have a business in Alaska and fish for their own salmon and transport it here so of course I had to try the special. It was fantastic. Can't eat it like a sandwich so ask for a fork :) Hubs had the Deli Rose and loved it. Ate every bit. Friendly service, lots of languages spoken here. Loved it Aussie 43.50

Conveniently located across the road from Aldi…read more Firstly, hours have changed for March 2026. They're now open Sunday to Friday and closed on Saturday. Here are the opening hours and quiet/busy times. Sunday * 12pm to 7pm Monday * 10am - 7pm Tuesday * 10am - 7pm Wednesday * 10am - 7pm Thursday * 10am - 7pm Friday * 10am - 3pm Saturday * Closed This review will probably change to five stars when I go. Still, I'm a big online fan because otherwise I can spend half a day looking for somewhere to eat. And the online menu does say they love people with allergies. However there is no mention of gluten or gluten free on the menu. Maybe this is related to the tightening of Australian rules into "gluten friendly" rather than gluten free. Since their specialty is hot sandwiches, I'm up in the air on the gluten front. If they will allow choosing from the sides and extras menu, that would be perfect. I also like how many of their prices have stayed reasonable, with five dollar coffees, I don't know if I can eat them but their egg sandwiches for Brekky look positively dreamy.

A successful Australian take on French classics with only occasional false notes…read more The rhubarb and apple turnovers are the stars; the high price intrigued me for a pastry this small but the balance of sweet, sour, bitter, the sugary crust and the layers of buttered pastry simply worked so well that I had to come back the next day and buy more. The apple pie was similarly well realised, with just enough sugar to balance out the acidity in sufficiently sour apples to set off the pastry. Again this perfect sugar crust. The peach danish was also a hit. The (wholemeal sourdough) bread is somewhat less successful in the sense that the bubble network is too dense, the bubbles too small; as a part time amateur boulanger I know just how hard it is to get this right, and at least they are evenly distributed and the salt is correct with a well caramelised crust. The pain au chocolat is perhaps on the level of a second quartile boulangerie in France, the same chocolate is used as the mass market ones there but the boulanger has chosen a lighter style than the heavy butter bombs that represent the best examples back home; similarly the egg glaze is not particularly shiny or present which is another missed opportunity for a Proustian madeleine for us frogs far from the pond. This is not a bad thing though, as you can enjoy more pastries in one go. The cookie was not really a cookie, more like a "sable" - a biscuit hard throughout. The addition of hazelnut is a difficult one, as it makes the texture crumblier and drier, less held together than a normal chocolate cookie would be. Finally, the churros reminded me of a stretched out canelé which is a very good thing indeed. It does mean quite soft, custardy innards which may be unexpected to those used to normal churros. I haven't tried the rest of the selection but appreciate their choice to focus on best selling, safe, classic items rather than do wild experimentation leaving half the stock unsold on the shelves and forcing the customer to think a bit more before trying something new.

Hominy bakery can be found at the bottom end of the shopping strip on Katoomba street. The small…read morelittle store is your old school type stuff with a different loaf special daily. Their specialty is a loaf using potato in the sourdough mix. The bakery also sells full sized cakes, slices, foccacia, danishes and more. I love how all the product signs have handwritten names on them, showing care for all that they do. The sandwiches look amazing too! Grab a cookie with the soft centre, apple turnover or a lemon curd and pistachio snail! Put it on your Katoomba visit list.
