We often pay a visit to Sassafras when in Kurrajong. It is a beautifully laid out Cafe/Restaurant with a little giftware shop attached. From the view across the Hawkesbury Valley, to the high ceilings, and polished wooden floor boards, and art works from featured local artists; Sassafras has it all.

The restaurant serves a superb range of meals from locally sourced growers from the region. The Head Chef really has his finger on the pulse, with menu items such as a salad of smoked duck breast, pan seared local pork loin, to a delicious stuffed zucchini flower and saffron risotto. And as for dessert: Im still dreaming about the chocolate tart I greedily gobbled down on my last visit.

The staff are professional, friendly and attentive. The added touch of the Head Chef making his way around the restaurant ensuring everyone is enjoying their meals takes the experience to a whole new level.

As well as the featured local artists, Sassafras has a range of locally produced jams and conserves, and other food goodies for purchase. The giftware shop attached to the cafe stocks a lovely range of jewellery, cards, handbags and home wears.

I highly recommend a visit to Sassafras Creek on your next trip through Kurrajong!
