Emu Hall: A Historic Homestead Transforms Into Western Sydney❜s Hottest Dining Emporium

By: Tully Rosenberg, 27 December 2020

Originally built as a family home way back in 1852 by prominent Penrith local James ‘Toby’ Ryan, Emu Hall is a restored historic house on the shores of the Nepean River at the base of the Blue Mountains, with views over the waterway and the Yandhai Nepean Crossing.

Now, 168 years later, this iconic Western Sydney homestead has undergone a stunning makeover to become a modern landmark for a new generation with a cafe, restaurant, bar and beer garden. With striking interiors and lush outdoor spaces, the venue also retains some unique character heritage features including the original large windows and French doors.

With an extensive range of contemporary cuisine - from Acai bowls to Nutella waffles, big Aussie breakfasts to The Pita Stand middle-eastern kebab, and barista coffee to stupendous shakes - and a prime riverside location, Emu Hall is making its mark as Penrith's latest and greatest place to be and a must-visit family-friendly destination, perfect for whiling away a Spring day.
