Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 13/20 "Fresh mountain air and smells from a woodfired oven are an incomparably hungerinducing mix, and you'll need your appetite at this local favourite"

Sydney Eats 2008 "Going from strength to strength, this unique cafe/bistro is moving food around with great success"

Sydney Morning Herald By Simon Thomsen, 2-5-2006 Score: 13/20 "Apple Bar is in a sprawling weatherboard cottage with a bull-nosed veranda; it has a city-smarts style yet stays true to its country heritage. Inside, there are a big mulberry-coloured, double-sided fireplace, large, slightly abstract paintings of apple details and the obligatory plasma TV screening sport. It's a culinary oasis amid the rustic charm of the scattered village and a decent watering hole to boot, with Cooper's Pale Ale on tap. ... On Sunday afternoon, the pace is both hectic and slow. It's packed to the rafters with a mix of settled-in locals and passers-by who all seem relaxed enough to be unconcerned by the meandering pace."

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007 Score: 13/20 "The back way up the mountains swings past Bilpin's orchards and fruit stalls. Another reason to stop is this sprawling weatherboard cottage with a bull-nosed verandah for alfresco dining and a fireplace inside for cold, misty mountain days: a mix of watering hole, wood-fired pizzeria and bistro."
