Avalon Restaurant, Katoomba

Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
Katoomba

Set in the dress circle of Katoomba’s historic Savoy Theatre, AVALON Restaurant & Cocktail Bar combines playful art-deco charm with hearty food, friendly service and stunning Blue Mountains views.

AVALON lies hidden behind an unassuming entrance. Enter the 1930's Savoy Theatre foyer and make your way upstairs to find a unique and highly atmospheric venue, with a decor of quirky retro finds and views across Leura village and the Jamison Valley. 

A menu of hearty dishes combining influences from around the globe is prepared in the old projection room, while classic cocktails and retro tunes are served in the former refreshment lounge, now a cosy bar.

Local musicians perform each Friday night at the popular Friday Supper Club, and there’s a calendar of special events to entertain.

Top this off with friendly, casual service and you will see why AVALON is one of the Blue Mountains’ most popular and long-standing dining experiences.
