Beyond the Three Sisters: a local reveals the Blue Mountains' 10 hidden gems
1. FOOD: The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, are famous for the Three Sisters, millions of eucalyptus trees and the steepest passenger train in the world. But there's so much more to see and do. Let's start with the food. Several top Blue Mountains hotel-restaurant chefs have quietly branched out on their own. Gia Cafe & Bistro in Leura serves food faves with a Sri Lankan twist by day and curry at night. Katoomba's Cafe Lurline serves cafe fare by day and street-style barbecue dishes after dark, while its sister venue Smokey Bundits is a gourmet burger joint. Jamison Views Restaurant at Katoomba's Hotel Mountain Heritage has undergone a food revolution (one diner asked for five serves of the cauliflower soup - two after dessert), while down an arcade in Springwood, the two-hatted Arrana Restaurant (you'll see gold bollards and white feathers at the entrance) focuses on dishes with Indigenous ingredients.
