The Friendly Inn Hotel<\/h2>\n
This laidback, heritage-listed pub, dating to 1897, is one of the region\u2019s oldest. Beyond its menu of crowd-pleasing pub staples (think burgers, steaks, salads and schnitties) \u2018The Friendly\u2019 certainly lives up to its name, welcoming dogs and families with open arms. Relax in the pub\u2019s beer garden around a picnic table with a cold schooner or a glass of ros\u00e9, and watch the kids scramble around the covered playground area. There\u2019s even a petanque court, and often live music.<\/p>\n\n
Address:<\/strong> 159 Moss Vale Rd, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577 This heritage-listed pub is one of the region\u2019s oldest, dating back to 1897.<\/p><\/div>\n You’ve got to get in early if nabbing a handmade pie from this Kangaroo Valley stalwart is on your agenda \u2013 especially if you\u2019re a veggo after their coveted curried vegetable pie. Made with love, and flaky pastry, the Kangaroo Valley Pie Shop turns out all the classics: steak and mushroom, beef and Guinness, and, of course, the traditional Aussie meat pie. But there are also sausage rolls, apple pies and milkshakes on offer, as well as a whole wall full of locally produced pantry items to stock up on. Sit out on the covered deck of this quaint little weatherboard cottage with a hot pie and a cold and creamy milkshake and watch the world go by.<\/p>\n\n Address: <\/strong>2053 Moss Vale Rd, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577 Part deli, part wine lounge, part cafe, part cooking school, part occasional restaurant: Hampden wears many hats, and wears them well. This highly rated Kangaroo Valley establishment makes a mean coffee \u2013 coffee flights are even on offer \u2013 and it\u2019s serious about preparing everything from scratch in-house too. Pickling, fermenting, brining, baking; you name it and Hampden Deli probably does it. After all, chef and co-owner Nick Gardner was once named Young Chef of the Year by The Sydney Morning Herald<\/em>, and counts stints at greats such as California\u2019s celebrated The French Laundry and Sydney\u2019s Quay among his resume experience.<\/p>\n\n Stop in for a soup, salad or toasted sandwich, or grab a Scotch egg and a pastry for the road. Check Hampden\u2019s website for updates about their rotating roster of cooking classes (think bread-making and charcuterie) and one-off dinners. Or swing by the Wine Lounge on the weekend for a glass of New or Old World Wine, as well as grazing plates.<\/p>\n\n Address: <\/strong>4\/160 Moss Vale Rd, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577 Enjoy one of Hampden Deli’s many offerings, from a great cuppa to delicious food and wine.<\/p><\/div>\n Homemade organic sourdough? Tick. House-fermented small-batch kombucha? Tick. A bounty of fresh, seasonal produce gracing the cafe\u2019s breakfast and lunch menu? Tick. Perch on one of the tables out front and people watch, or head to the tranquil, leafy, sun-dappled veranda out the back. The kind folks at The General can cater to veggies, dairy-free and gluten-free diets, and there\u2019s often new specials to try, many of which are Asian-inspired (hello black rice porridge, lightly spiced congee and Korean-style wok-fried eggs with white kimchi).<\/p>\n\n Address: <\/strong>51 Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577 There\u2019s often new specials to try at The General’s Cafe.<\/p><\/div>\n This smart-casual Thai eatery is popular among visitors and locals alike \u2013 so much so that you shouldn\u2019t be surprised if they\u2019ve already sold out of several dishes on the menu by the time you rock up for dinner. Chef Chai uses herbs and vegetables from the restaurant\u2019s very own kitchen garden, as well as locally sourced produce, to make dishes such as por pia<\/em> (spring rolls brimful of minced veggies and served with plum sauce) and pad ka pao <\/em>(fresh chilli and basil leaves stir-fried with squid, prawns or chicken). Not only are the prices reasonable, but it\u2019s BYO wine to boot. And put aside some stomach space for the restaurant\u2019s sticky date pudding, or lemon meringue pie too.<\/p>\n\n Address: <\/strong>8\/160 Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577
