Tucked away inside the Berntis Mountain Inn, The Bar & Brasserie’s gourmet-style menu is about pairing classic Australian dishes with flavours from around the world, but it’s their steaks that have really won us over.

In the heart of Thredbo village with a décor that’s inspired by the Nordic culture, the House of Ullr dining experience takes you on a detour via Mexico. The Mad Mexican is a vibrant restaurant where the food is full of flavour and the tequila flows till closing. From the punchy pickled jalapeño croquettes and Baja fish tacos to the tuna tostadas and tequila chicken wings, every dish is a winner. For the drinks, go straight to their margarita selection. Naturally.

Eagles Nest

Eagle Nest Restaurant

Perched on top of the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift, Eagle Nest is Australia’s highest-altitude restaurant. Open for lunch year-round, it’s the perfect spot to refuel between runs. Soups, sangas, and salads fill the tight yet tasty menu with standouts including the classic Reuben sandwich and a soul-soothing pumpkin soup that is guaranteed to nurse you back to warmth. The views are impressive, the meals are hearty and the temptation to linger that little bit longer is made all the more enticing with their open fire and Gluhwein.
