Dining room
Located on main street Katoomba, AVALON lies hidden behind an unassuming entrance. Enter the 1930's Savoy Theatre foyer, make your way past the ticket booth and venture upstairs to find a unique and highly atmospheric venue, offering a decor of quirky retro finds, eclectic artwork and views across Leura village and the Jamison Valley.
A diverse 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 complete with fireplace. With a focus on local producers, AVALON proudly showcases more than 80 Australian wines and craft beers to try.
Local musicians perform each week in the dining room at the popular Friday Supper Club, and each Saturday in the DOWNSTAIRS foyer lounge, plus there’s a calendar of special events to entertain.
Top this off with friendly, casual service and you will see why AVALON is amongst the Blue Mountains’ most popular and long-standing dining experiences.

This week we welcome back the sensational Blue Sherlock - a live looping indie folk duo from the Blue Mountains. Willem and Jeremy have developed a totally unique sound and performance style through countless gigs and a joyful disregard for genre borders. A heady collision of lush loops and indie folk lyricism meets searing guitar licks and innovative, intricate percussion. Think Tash Sultana meets John Butler to sing Hozier songs, yeet.

Yuki sings and plays piano, flute , harmonica and ukulele, while John plays guitar and saxophone. It’s always a great night when John and Yuki are in the house.

Neill is renowned for simultaneously playing the tenor saxophone one-handed whilst providing rhythm on the drums.

Mataya delivers a warm and honest performance like no other. A musician and singer that will reach in and touch your spirit, open your eyes and open your heart. Born into a musical family Mataya began singing and playing violin at the age of 4. As a teen she picked up piano and began to explore song writing. Surrounded by the live music scene growing up in the Blue Mountains she was heavily influenced by jazz and soul which has led to the unique sound of her debut single ‘Fine China’.
