6. Alfresco Pizzeria - Great for simple fare
Popular old style Italian eatery. Very low key, BYO with all the usual flavours that are popular with families or fussy eaters (who can find fault with a Pizza Marguerita?).

8. Black Bear- Great for traditional ski resort atmosphere
Austrian style lodge and atmosphere, minus the traditional stodginess that can be very heavy for diners not having to brave minus twenty degree snow storms outside in Thredbo. ?Serves amazing ribs according to Steve. Debate online vacillated between Black Bear being Australian fare or true to European fare but agreed Black Bear was family friendly and the service good. "There are cosy little nooks for dining or sipping a few glasses of wine. The food is 'modern Australian' with some European influences", was the opinion of one diner, "The ribs were exceptional. Fall off the bone, and melt in your mouth, and they have enough sense to provide a spare bowl unlike all too many other places". Open 6pm till 9pm depending on demand. (Ph: 02 6457 6216).9.
