Upstairs in Caves House, Chisolm’s Restaurant is the perfect place to celebrate your most important occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries. But why wait for a special occasion?
Mark Livingstone, our head chef, sources ingredients from the local region to create a modern Australian menu, often with a French twist. Guests can treat themselves to hearty dishes such as ‘Braised Oberon lamb shank cassoulet with lamb sausage, garlic and haricots with warm house onion bread’. There are gluten free and dairy free choices. We have vegetarian options such as ‘Pea and pumpkin risotto with oyster mushrooms and grana parmesan’, so we feel we have something for just about everyone.
Our comfy bar offers an enormous range of wines, beers, spirits and cocktails and is open from 4pm.
To find Chisolm’s Restaurant, enter Caves House via the main front foyer and go up the grand staircase (or use the lift), to the 1st floor. Jeremiah’s Bar will be the first thing you see. Turn left into Chisolm’s.
Chisolm’s, was built in the fashionable Art Deco style of 1926. Lofty columns, high bay windows and imposing ceiling, deeply embossed with strong geometric patterns, define it as a place where important people dined. Today’s 21st century guests enjoy all the refined ambience of those architectural features, which, along with a warm open fireplace, are still there.
Before dinner, stroll up to the dramatic Carlotta Arch lookout, or along the Blue Lake to see if you can spot a platypus, then wander on down along the Jenolan River, past the waterfall, swing bridge and down to our old hydroelectricity plant and dam – a pretty walk. Late afternoon/early evening are the times most likely to spot wildlife.
This is ONLY a confirmation of your reservation at Chisolm's, it is NOT payment for your dining experience. Payment will be required at the end of your meal based on what you have ordered.
