Katoomba RSL RSL, Katoomba NSW

Food was good. The schnitzel was perfectly tender. Schnitzel serving sizes were a bit on the smaller size compared to other RSL's I've visited, and the chips tasted sweet, which was unusual.

I just had a delightful visit to the Katoomba RSL's Red Poppy Brasserie, and I couldn't wait to share the experience. Nestled conveniently away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, it's still just a leisurely stroll from the heart of town.

The recent rebuild after the fire has done wonders; the bistro is now impressively spacious, and despite a good crowd, it maintained a pleasant, noise-free atmosphere.

From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine friendliness. The place was spotless, which always adds to the dining comfort. Service was impressively swift; we barely had time to sip our drinks before the meals arrived.

Speaking of meals, we opted for the Bangers and Mash and the Mediterranean Pasta. Both dishes were spot on in portion size and flavour. The Bangers and Mash were hearty and satisfying, while the pasta offered a delightful medley of Mediterranean tastes.

In summary, the Katoomba RSL's Red Poppy Brasserie offers a welcoming atmosphere, prompt service, and delicious meals. It's a top spot for a relaxed dining experience in Katoomba. Will I be back? Absolutely! 

Nice restaurant. We went there for lunch as part of our Blue Mountain tour. The food quality was good, especially chicken schnitzel

We love the atmosphere! Absolutely lovely! The reception staff and bar stuff were wonderful, but the security guy wasn't friendly at all, we planned come after gallery and pickup our makeup stuff from car to touch up he thought we leaving and was rude. But we had a great time!

We stopped by for some dinner and a few after dinner drinks. It was VERY busy and there just wasn't enough staff. The dining room was at capacity and service was very slow. My wife had the prawns but couldn't eat them all because they weren't all cooked fully. I had the fisherman's basket, which was OK , but the salad could have been better. The salad my wife had was much better.
It's been a while since we were last here but probably won't be back any time soon.
