Places to Eat

Fancy the best coffee in rural NSW? Or the tastiest wood fired pizza? When it comes to the ‘yummy things’ Braidwood’s coffee shops, cafes and bakeries really hit the spot.

It doesn’t stop in town; the villages of Araluen and Majors Creek have terrific country pubs that are well worth a visit for a great counter meal. If local produce is your thing, check out the Old Cheese Factory at Reidsdale, it’s well worth a visit.

The Braidwood Hotel

Constructed in 1859, The Braidwood Hotel is without a doubt one of Braidwood's most impressive architectural gems. With its earthy atmospheric charm, it offers a rare country pub experience and a great opportunity to enjoy a cold beer or a single malt whiskey amongst a cross-section of Braidwood's colourful characters. Braidwood is a great place to visit during winter; with its log fire and thick atmosphere, The Braidwood Hotel is the perfect place to be of a crisp evening.

The Briadwood Kitchen offers the absolute highest standard of pub classics with an Anglo leaning, including the perfect Sunday roast as well as bistro specialities, showcasing the best of local produce.

L'Auberge de Braidwood

There are many auberges in France, almost every village has one. They are strongly influenced by the local culture and we have been inspired by Braidwood's history, people and produce to create one here. For us, L'Auberge represents the enjoyment of a shared meal. There could not be another name for our first restaurant.

Your cook Yves shares some recipes from his home region in the east of France. Franche Comte is renowned for its white wines, (Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille, Savagnin sous voile) and cheeses (Comte, Mont d'Or, Morbier). L'Auberge will also occasionally prepare specialities from other regions of the world. Our blackboards propose a weekly selection of seasonal dishes, some classics but also new flavours to discover. Our menu will depend on our seasonal supplies, what we feel like eating, the wind...
