Finding somewhere to go out for dinner is often a conundrum. Penrith boasts so many great places to eat, it can be hard to agree on where to go for that next night out or celebration.
Here’s our top 10 Penrith restaurants…
10. Griddle
Often the forgotten dining option in Penrith, what Griddle lacks in atmosphere from time to time it makes up for in quality food.
With a large menu and affordable options, Griddle is a great family restaurant and both the steaks and ribs are to die for.

9. Masala Kitchen
Penrith boasts some terrific Indian restaurants, but Masala Kitchen certainly tops the lot – especially when it comes to a dine-in experience.
The folks at Masala also specialise in gin and gin cocktails, so make it a night out when you go.

8. Poppi Tino

7. Outback Steakhouse
An oldie but a goodie. How could you not love an Alice Springs Chicken or a Bloomin’ Onion.
And of course, Outback delivers quality steaks and ribs. It’s a little on the expensive side, but a great atmosphere and top service.

6. Gellafrenda
Gellafrenda had a mixed start but these days is one of the top Italian feeds in Penrith. The team has done a great job to rejuvenate the menu and focus on top service.
Our tip? Try the pepperoni pizza with hot honey!

5. Rusty Penny
So, we know this isn’t strictly a restaurant but the feed at Rusty Penny brewery is nothing short of stunning.
It’s American BBQ at its best, and you certainly won’t be leaving hungry. You’ve got to try it at least once (though we doubt you’ll be able to stop yourself coming back!)

4. Osso
Located inside the Panthers complex, Osso has been a Penrith staple for years now – and rarely fails to deliver.
With top quality steak and seafood options, it is the perfect date night location. And a great spot for lunch, especially if Bill is serving!

There’s delicious steak options, a wonderful share menu and an atmosphere that makes it feel like you’re somewhere special.

2. Sinclair’s
Recently honoured with a hat by the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide, Sinclair’s is one of the go-to restaurants in Penrith when it comes to wanting something on that next level.
It’s a little expensive, but you get what you pay for – and what you pay for is some of the finest food around, that will leave you salivating.

1. Long’s House
Long’s House only opened this year but has jumped straight to the top of the dining scene in Penrith.
A brilliant menu, an experienced team, a unique location. Long’s House feels like it’s filling a gap in Penrith, and has been a stunner for us this year.
Plus the wine list is sensational!
