About Miss Lilian

Tucked by the Lilianfels grounds in Katoomba, Miss Lilian turns out vibrant, punchy Asian street-food plates beneath a canopy of decorative birdcages. Day-trippers and bushwalkers stop by for steaming beef pho, charcoal-grilled mushrooms, and rich seafood fried rice after hitting the nearby lookouts. The dining room balances polished resort service with casual warmth, offering structured tasting banquets alongside a dedicated vegetarian set menu that pairs silken tofu in sesame-tamarind dressing with warm stir-fried noodles. Sweets seal the deal—especially the crisp fried ice cream finished with spicy Szechuan chocolate sauce.

  • Dedicated Vegetarian Set Menu: Full multi-course vegetarian banquet featuring silken tofu in sesame tamarind dressing, dumplings, and stir-fried noodles.
  • Whimsical Birdcage Interior: Eclectic dining room decked out with decorative hanging birdcages and faux birds.
  • Szechuan Chocolate Fried Ice Cream: Crisp fried ice cream drizzled with a house-made Szechuan chocolate sauce.
