About Us

Basil Nut Asian Kitchen is a Modern South East Asian Restaurant & Cafe  with a relaxing atmosphere in the heart of Katoomba, the tourist centre in the middle of the Blue Mountains.  We have blended the "Cafe Culture" of the mountains with a modern Asian fusion approach.  Basil Nut provides the "best of both worlds".   This modern approach is not only evident in our interior design and layout, but also in our creative Asian cuisine, reflecting many unique tastes of the Asian Pacific region brought together in a unique flavorsome way.

If Asian infused Soft shell crab, green chicken curry or BBQ korean pork burgers aren't your thing, then try the noodles, soups, stir fry dishes from the wok or the "street food" (small Asian dishes to share).  Come for Cakes & Coffee OR stay for a Dumpling, enjoy our atmosphere and pleasant people.   

Please join us in the heart of Katoomba for a mountains experience that should not be missed.   We look forward to seeing you on your next visit !!

BN Dinner
"As much as we love living in the Blue Mountains the one thing we miss is really good Thai food. So we were very excited to try Basil Nut. And we were not disappointed! We have now been a number of times for dinner and each dish we have tried has been absolutely delicious - fresh ingredients that are beautifully prepared and presented. Portions are generous too" - from a trip adviser review. 

At 5pm dinner service, BN is transformed into a Modern Asian Restaurant and serves exotic curries, seafood, wok, noodle, soup, other stir fry and a selection of Asian "street food" including pork belly, dumplings, soft shell crab, the "platter", satay chicken, gyoza, BBQ pork buns and other tasty small dishes to be shared or tried as an entree.
