Eating Sydney – Leura Gourmet

Jan29

Restaurant: Leura Gourmet

Location: 179 The Mall | Blue Mountains, Leura, New South Wales 2780, Australia. +61 2 4784 3121

Date: December 19, 2017

Cuisine: Australian

Rating: Surprisingly good

_

One wouldn’t expect to find anything decent in a small (but cute) tourist town like Leura, deep in the Blue Mountains a few hours outside of Sydney.

But this little cafe and deli looked fairly appealing.

Lots of deli counter.

And goods.

And pastries. Savory pies are common in Australia — I happen to like them.

The interior had a nice view and was painted a lurid green that invaded all the photos.

The menu.

Mango lassi. Love these.

Apple juice — in Australia it’s usually cloudy. Mr. Picky didn’t like it.

Pappadum & Smoked Salmon Salad. Tasmanian smoked salmon, camenbert, avocado & pappadums with our special dressing. Interesting Indian/Australian fusion.

Caramelized onion & goat’s cheese tart.

Simple pasta.
 Tandoori Chicken. Served with rice, pappadum, raita, & sweet mango chutney. More Indian fusion. Not bad actually.

Given the Burger/Fish & Chip vibe of most of the other places in town these was some welcome sophistication. And very Australian somehow.
