Paragon Cafe

Location :

The Paragon is arguably Australia’s oldest café and certainly one of the most opulent ever built in this country. Situated in the heart of Katoomba the Paragon is an iconic landmark that is an essential stop on any visit to the Blue Mountains. The three rooms that comprise the Paragon: Café, Formal Dining Room and Cocktail Lounge are some the finest and most richly detailed Art Deco interiors anywhere in the world. Lunch, morning and afternoon teas are available 7 days per week, with dinner available on Saturday nights. The cocktail lounge is open from 6.00pm Saturday nights with live music from 8.00pm till late.

The Paragon is probably best known for its range of hand made chocolates. The Paragon’s brand is one of the oldest in Australia and unique with its logos and much of its packaging unchanged in 80 years. Its world famous 'Warratah Bar' is probably the oldest chocolate bar in Australia; its presentation, packaging and even manufacture unchanged in over 70 years.

Since 1916 generations of tourists have proven that no trip to the Blue Mountains is complete without stopping by this iconic piece of Australian history.
