Nestled at the end of the Blue Mountains, detour through Lithgow for a reviving pit stop at The Old Exchange restaurant down the main street. Whether seeking a quick bite for lunch or a night to simply relax from country adventures and long days of driving, join friendly locals inside this warm historic building. Tasty, wholesome food inspired by international flavours, icy craft beers like Bowral Brewery’s Pigs Fly pale ale and revered Australian wines are what keep visitors returning to mingle for hours. For a feast, begin with lightly dusted calamari in native Australian spices, served with house made slaw and mustard lemon aioli before delving into pork belly, twice cooked in slow braise, finished in the oven and served with cauliflower puree, plum jus, roast chats and vegetables.
