Overview

If you have plans to visit the Blue Mountains sometime soon, here's a culinary activity to add to your itinerary. Megalong is an elegant 50-seat bistro offering up elegant dining paired with panoramic 360-degree views of scenic bushland and escarpment of the Megalong Valley.

Executive chef Colin Barker (formerly of The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay) has led the charge on the venue's kitchen and food concept, ensuring that Megalong's produce-forward menu honours the ingredients sourced from its adjoining 600-hectare farm, Lot 101.

Megalong's farm-to-table approach pushes the envelope on sustainability within restaurant practices. Almost all of the produce used in the kitchen is grown onsite, hence Executive chef Colin Barker's mission to do justice to the fresh ingredients when crafting seasonally-inspired and ever-changing menus.

When dining in, expect to find a similar structure to your experience. While the service plan and portions may remain similar, you'll rarely encounter the same dining experience twice. The gist of dining at Megalong follows the structure of a 'moveable feast' consisting of five to six courses for either a lunch or dinner service. To start, there will be a trio of snacks on arrival, with meat and fish plates paired with a vegetable side to follow. Then, to round out the meal, a fruity dessert course alongside petit fours. And the menu is subject to change daily.

At Megalong Restaurant, you get to combine in the indoors with the outdoors, combining the best of the Blue Mountains' vistas and produce with a warm dining experience worthy of the journey.
