Welcome to Chalet Healy Restaurant Cafe

“ Amazing lunch spot! After arrival we were seated promptly in the patio area under the beautiful Wisteria flowers, which has a lovely atmosphere with a great view. All staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu items are designed to be shared amongst the table, which was perfect for our party of 4. We started off with the most delicious arancini, olives and fresh bread with hummus. Soon after the fish tacos, grilled chicken, and lamb shoulder followed. I could not fault a single thing! All dishes were cooked to perfection and I am already anticipating to come back for more. The wattle seed brownie with ice cream was the perfect finish to a perfect lunch ”

“ Dining in this hilltop restaurant was an experience that touched all the senses Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, the atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing. The restaurant itself was designed to blend seamlessly into the hillside, with large windows opening to breathtaking views of valleys and misty peaks. The food was as delightful as the setting fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented... made with locally sourced ingredients that carried the taste of the region....Every bite felt wholesome and authentic, enhanced by the cool mountain breeze. What made the experience truly memorable was the harmony of nature and hospitality. Sitting on the open terrace, with birdsong in the background and the sun slowly setting behind the hills, I felt a deep sense of calm and joy. It wasn’t just a meal it was a moment of connection with nature, good food, and pure tranquility ”

“ This weekend, we had the pleasure of discovering the new restaurant located in the Araluen Botanic Park, and we were amazed by the experience. With a cozy atmosphere surrounded by the scent of roses, the views were simply spectacular. Stephen, an absolute legend, gave us a warm welcome and showed us to a table overlooking the garden while giving us a quick rundown of the menu and the Argentinian chef. We ventured to try the Empanadas and Arancinis as starters, and then enjoyed a "Barramundi" main course that was a true gem from the sea, paired with fish Tacos that left us in awe. It was an explosion of flavors that made us eager to come back and try more of their menu, which, by the way, includes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options with attention to every detail. The staff was super friendly, took a photo of us, and gave us recommendations for the best trails in the park. A fair dinkum atmosphere, perfect for spending quality time with the family, full of fun and good vibes. ”

“ Great little restaurant in the gardens, exquisite view and the wisteria blooming on the terrace was stunning. Service was brilliant, we were made to feel very welcome. We only had dessert and coffee as we felt the main meals were expensive but not very impressed. The bread and butter pudding was average and the cheesecake was dry and a very small piece. ”

“ The new management is so much better than the last one. The surroundings are superb. We were lucky that Wisterias was in full bloom. They are gorgeous. The restaurant looks well presented. Our iced coffee seemed plain. Normally, they include cream and/or ice cream. The arancini were delicious. But we really enjoyed the fish tacos. They were the highlight of our orders. The lamb seemed very dry, though. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a nice time. I will come back for the Wisteria and try other food on the menu. Will I recommend this place? Yes. Not bad. ”

“ This is a top spot in Araluen Botanic park! We had lamb shoulder and the argentinian food both were amazing. Cheese cake insanely good. Great vibes, tasty food, and excellent service. Definitely worth it! ”
