Great Vietnamese food, and just under Aldi on Waratah St. Their Pho is great, as is their vermicelli salads. My fave drink there is the dirty coconut coffee drink.

The huge hotel near the station on Katoomba St. Goo bar food at Champaign Charlies. Lovely Art Deco decor, history, sight seeing and food all in one. Their steak fries with aioli is to die for!

Arts & Culture
Called “The Gully”
Indigenous cultural sacred site, was stollen from the Aboriginal people and made into a raceway which has now been reclaimed as it should be by the local Indigenous people and nature is starting to grow back. A good walk as well as a cultural experience. 5 mins walk through the bush at the end of my street (past the culdesac) and across the road to the Gully.
