Book Breakfast At The Best Cafe in the Blue Mountains
The perfect day is fuelled by the perfect breakfast, and when you’ve got a busy day adventuring ahead of you, a quick drive-thru brekky on the way to the mountains just won’t cut it. Usually it’s the locals talking us up, but honestly, we make a ridiculously delicious breakfast using the freshest ingredients from the best local suppliers in the Blue Mountains. You can read about our loved up relationship with local suppliers here (link to blog).
Whether you’re a chilli scrambled eggs fan or looking for the hollandaise sauce of your dreams with our eggs Benedict (served on a Bagel!) let us start your day right with a breakfast item from our all day menu to remember at our family owned restaurant in Leura.
Don’t worry! If breakfast isn’t what you need, we’ve got gorgeous lunch items on our all day menu too, we promise there’s something for everyone here at Cafe Leura
Enjoy breakfast, lunch or great coffee at one of the best cafes near Katoomba and become a part of our Cafe Leura family.
After Breakfast At Leura’s Favourite Restaurant….
… it’s time to get out in nature! You’ve got a belly full of delicious food and now it’s time to get your body moving and clean out your lungs with the sweet crisp mountain air. There are a range of hikes to do in the Blue Mountains, but you can’t go past the famous Three Sisters Walk.
It’s an easy walk that takes anywhere from 25-45 minutes (depending how long you want to stay at the lookout) and is a gorgeous spot that has proven no two days are the same.
If you’re after something a bit longer, check out the NSW National Parks site for some other more strenuous hikes.
If you’re after something to get your heart rate up without a steep hike, why not scale the mountain on the world’s steepest railway instead? The perfect activity for young families, a ride on this unique and charming Scenic Railway is a must-do when visiting Katoomba.
