Silk's Brasserie

Silk's Brasserie Review

Thanks to its Sydney-standard food, wine, and service, Silk's rates as one of the finest Blue Mountains restaurants. The menu here changes seasonally, but might include pan-seared scallops on avocado with cress, pancetta, and honey mustard-seed dressing for a starter, or a main dish of confit of duck Maryland served with a salad of duck sausage, pickled pear, beet, and watercress. The locals' favorite dessert is the warm bitter-sweet chocolate fondant served with vanilla-bean Chantilly cream and black cherries. The restaurant is housed in a Federation-era building, and in colder months a log fire warms the century-old simple but elegant interior, where yellow ocher walls reach from black-and-white checkerboard floor to sky-high ceiling.
