Restaurants in Katoomba you must visit

 Now, we've been experiencing and reviewing most of the important tourist attractive places, but there's one thing we haven't experienced yet. It's the restaurants! If you visited a fantastic place, it's not just a hotel that makes it fantastic, food makes you happy, makes you feel the happiness every time when you put food into your mouth.

  Not all the restaurants are excellent or the foods are all delicious, succulent and good combination. Some restaurant's foods could be horrible and the hospitality of the restaurants could be nasty. To get on the bottom line by which restaurants are the best, I'll be reviewing 3 best restaurants in Katoomba.

 First restaurant I'm going to review is Darleys. Darleys is the restaurant is famous, historical and romantic restaurant in Katoomba. Darleys restaurant has been awarded several awards from Sydney morning herald of one chef's hat in 2011 and 2008, two chef's hat in 2010 and 2009.

  The restaurant is located in Lilianfels Blue Moutains Resort, more precisely is in Lilianfels Ave.
  Also the taste of the food is very fantastic and it's so delicious that you can't describe by words. The textures of each foods have its own identity and the various ranges of wine makes the food more delicious. The price of the foods are bit challenging to pay, but it's worth a money.
General Price
2 Course Menu $95.00
3 Course Menu $125.00
Degustation
From $160.00 per person


  Second restaurant is Gustissimo. Gustissimo doesn't have much awards as Darleys, but they have something that Darleys doesn't have. It's the genuine Italian cuisine, not just any cuisine that anybody can make, an Italian chef from Italy makes the genuine Italian cuisine!

Also the dining atmosphere are romantic mostly. When you visit this restaurant with someone you admire, you'll probably know that it's the chance to make a move on someone you admire. The theme of the restaurant is all about romance, so this restaurant. 


  Lastly the price of this restaurant isn't that bad.

Average Meal Price $45 - based on one entree & main course only
Entrees $12.00-$26.00
Mains $15.00-$36.00
Desserts $8.00-$29.00

 Third and last restaurant to review will be Carrington grand dining room. This restaurant is just a normal hotel restaurant but the design of the restaurant is very early 1900s, looks royal dining hall, the food looks clean, meals are delicious, you can't ask for no more. 

 The prices of the meal aren't available, but by guess, the price of the meal would be similar to Darleys.

  Winter magic festival isn't just festival you're always expecting. It's a festival that always changes, the events changes every year, lots of different people comes to Katoomba by celebrating winter. It would be wonderful to celebrate winter by making a big festival that over 30000 people attends the winter magic festival, and also the winter magic festival is the biggest street festival in the Australia.

 If you have a chance to go and enjoy your day at the winter magic festival, it's the chance that god gave you to enjoy the day and forget everything about it. To enjoy the winter magic festival, you have to explore the magic. Magic I mean you have to learn bit of magic or learn how to juggle. It's the moment of chance you've been waiting.

Choosing an accommodation. which one will it be?

If you decided to spend you weekends or holiday Blue Mountains, then you have to find a place to bunk in. Which this is a real problem, because you want to stay the hotel that has great features in the room. Also the look of the room makes you decide which room you're going to stay in.

 
To make you decide which accommodation is the best, I'll be reviewing three best accommodations in Katoomba.

 First is Best Western Alpine motor Inn. This accommodation is located in the highway and also it's positioned to the place that doesn't makes you homesick especially city people. 

  In addition, you don't need to walk all the way to the town to have a food. There's an restaurant in the inn, so you can enjoy all 3 delicious meals breakfast, lunch and dinner. Another additional feature is free WI-FI and free local calls, you can now bring your laptop, tablet or smartphone to enjoy the internet or enjoy using hotel phone to call local friend or places.





 Second is Hotel blue. This accommodation is usually for the adventurers or shopaholics. It's located 5 minutes walk to the Katoomba central of shopping and dining districts, and 10 minutes walk to see the heritage listed  Three sisters and echo Point.

 When you enter the suite in this accommodation, you definitely feel that it feels like when your home, and the interesting fact about this accommodation is that this hotel used to be a guesthouse back in 1920s, how fantastic!

 Although you have to find the place to eat outside of the hotel, because this hotel doesn't have a restaurant inside, but the exciting thing is that this hotel is very near the leisure courses such as bike riding, bush walking, and Scenic World's skyway, railway and cableway.
