The Belmore Hotel

At the Belmore Hotel's Cucina Restaurant you find not only very good Italian pub food, but in extra large servings, betraying the fact you are eating in a mining town. The menu includes fresh oysters and prawns in the entrees, and moves on to pastas such as the fettuccine prawn and chilli and penne marinara. And don't miss the excellent grilled barra with garlic prawn sauce. There's a full line-up of Italian chicken dishes and the obligatory steak range: barbecued rump and a huge scotch. Making Cucina distinctive is the blackboard dessert specials, of which the lemon meringue pie is a standout.
