About Arrana
Taking inspiration from the beauty and rugged landscapes of the Blue Mountains and past cultures, Arrana on Macquarie Road in Springwood weaves native ingredients and stories into its menus. Step into a warm space, where the lighting is soft and the champagne abundant, ideal for a romantic fine dining experience and ponder two degustation-style seasonal menus with wine pairing options. Think delicious starters like kingfish, finger lime, green ants and pico de gallo, or oyster mushroom, elderflower, Davidson plum and yolk; before larger plates of squid, crocodile XO, apple and lemon myrtle. Finish indulgently with a dessert of coconut, aniseed myrtle, coriander and papaya, enjoyed with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc; or petit fours, with tea or coffee.

Inspired menu to enliven all senses
Our large group had the Marri 7 course degustation, some of us also having the wine pairing. The meal was superb. Inspired flavour and texture combinations, celebrating native ingredients in an all senses satisfied meal with perfect portion sizes. A truly wonderful experience, from the ambience, staff interaction through to the mood music and of course the sumptuous food and wine. Cannot recommend more highly. Chef Daniel is amazing.

Blue Mountains Best
This isn’t just a restaurant it’s a dining event! The quality of service is beyond excellent and only surpassed by the visual and taste experiences presented to you by Chef Daniel Cabban with every dish. The flavour combinations highlighting the best of Australian native ingredients and produce simply compels you to return over and over again! You can’t do better in the mountains.
Our favorite by far
Hard to believe that we have become regulars over this COVID period, but there you are.
We first enjoyed Arrana not long after it opened, in December 2019, for a friend's birthday. My husband was disappointed because he had already booked for our wedding anniversary the following month, but when we returned the menu was significantly different, and just as good.
Two months later we returned for my birthday and it was again wonderful. Mother's Day this year too, then lockdown but this year we have participated in the takeaway options and given ourselves amazing #datenight treats twice!
Not only is the food well balanced and using interesting combinations of flavours but the wines are also brilliantly matched.
A treasure

My husband and I recently celebrated a special occasion at Arrana. Superb evening from the greeting at the door to the final wave goodbye. The food was outstanding and the service friendly and professional. We will certainly be back.
Amazing, food, presentation and service
A must attend venue. We will be back again and again.

Everything from arrival to departure was exceptional. Such a young, innovative exciting chef! Food and wine pairings perfect! I love the Waygu beef rib but the spanner crab was my favourite! Deserving of recognition for perfection!
