Tomah Club Sandwich with mustard mayonnaise
Restaurant Tomah is a café/restaurant that serves modern Australian cuisine and is set in the Mount Tomah botanic garden grounds. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, all with stunning views. This restaurant is the only one in the garden so if you want to eat, or drink for that matter, it’ll be here or bringing your own for a picnic. The garden has free electric barbecues, if you’re wondering.
On my first visit, on that lovely foggy day, I could see the thick fog stealing in from the blanketed veranda through the low, open louvres. I had the Tomah Club Sandwich ($18.50) and shared the House Made Potato Wedges ($9.50) from the lunch menu. The toasted sandwich had smoked chicken breast, pancetta, a fried egg, tomato, mesclun leaves and mustard mayonnaise. It was a pretty good sandwich, though I didn’t think it matched the price tag. It was only after I’d left that I realised I didn’t get the garden salad that was supposed to have come with the sandwich. Just as well, I had the wedges to make up my vegetable quota
. The wedges were hot and cooked perfectly. Perhaps the restaurant used a different kind of potato, or more likely used fresh rather than frozen produce; whatever it was, I approve!

It was a sunny day when I next visited. I don’t remember what I’d ordered, only that there’d been a salad, because I didn’t make notes or take pictures of the food as I did the first time. Also, the setting was engrossing. I sat on the veranda under the wisteria where I enjoyed spectacular views of the garden and the Blue Mountains beyond. What ever it was that I ate that day, I’m sure the views made it tastier.
