Cafés & Restaurants

• ALBY & ESTHERS. Our favourite café in town and a local hangout.

• MUDGEE SOURDOUGH & ALTHEA: just a few hundred metres separates these two spots but they both do scrumptious pastries and naughty treats, along with bread and savoury snacks. Grab a coffee at Althea or at the Corner Store next door while you’re at it.

• PARKVIEW: Good cafe away from the crowds.

• BILLY BOILS: Away from the crowds and an unexpected delight. Good coffee, bacon and egg rolls and some seriously yummy lunch - think fish tacos, chicken burgers and Korean fried chicken.

• CADE’S KITCHEN: A great café and restaurant in the CBD.

Restaurants at Wineries:

• PIPECLAY PUMPHOUSE: A bucket list spot and local favourite. The food here is mostly grown on the property and delicious! Pair it with the Robert Stein wine collection and you’ll tick a wine tasting off the list at the same time. Their Riesling and Chardonnary are top of our list at the moment.

• ZIN HOUSE: Another must-visit foodie fave. This hatted restaurant is on-site at Lowe Wines so you’ll once again be covering two birds with one stone. The venue is beautiful and the food delightful.

• OUR CHOW. A great spot for brunch or lunch followed by a wine tasting at on-site winery Burrundulla (great wines!).

• DI LUSSO: Great Pizza and setting.

Pubs

• THE PARAGON: Local fave, good food & vibe, away from the crowds

• THE ORIENTAL: Great local bar area and big menu.

• THE LAWSON: Great Italian food and steak.

Other Eating, Takeaway & In-House Catering

• MUDGEE FARMERS’ MARKET: Great locally made goodies you wouldn’t find in Sydney.

• BAKING BIRD: Give Sharon a call and have her knock you up a reheat & eat style dinner to enjoy at your B&B together with a glass of Yeates wines.

• TAKEAWAY: The Eatery (Pizza - order early!), MyThai, Rajarani (Indian).

Breweries & Distillery: 

• MUDGEE BREWING CO: It has new owners doing great things. Fantastic food, central and with great drinks options. 

• THREE TAILS BREWERY: Central, great vibe, huge list of beer and some great food - smoked meats, tacos etc.
