Ross Dobson targets Glenbrook for new venture, Vincent Diner

Hipsters looking for a tree change take note. Food stylist-turned-restaurateur Ross Dobson has fingered Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains as a hotspot. And Dobson is putting his money where his mouth is, opening a venue in the town on October 26. "The Blue Mountains muso set hang in Glenbrook," says Dobson. "It's a little bit hipster, it's affluent, off the highway with really charming old buildings." Glenbrook already has the Jazz Apple Cafe, a bar recently opened in an old timber church, and the town is also host to an excellent fortnightly produce market. Dobson, who recently finished up at Cafe at Lewers in Penrith (but is still involved at the Union) has named the Glenbrook venture Vincent Diner. "It's in the site of an 1950s milkbar, next door to St Vincent de Paul."
