Candlelight Lodge Restaurant
Candlelight Lodge
A long-established Austrian-style lodge in Thredbo, run for more than 50 years, known for its cheese fondue and Jägerschnitzel.
Candlelight Lodge is one of Thredbo's earliest inns and has been in operation for more than 50 years. Inside, it has a warm Austrian mountain-lodge feel, with coloured lights, wooden tables and a bar with a fireplace, and the views are excellent. Its signature dishes are a cheese fondue served with sourdough bread, cured meats and gherkins, and the Jägerschnitzel, a veal cutlet served with a creamy mushroom sauce. Chocolate fondue and grilled wagyu are also on offer. Dinner reservations are required, and on Sundays there is live music and a chalkboard menu. The lodge is located at 32 Diggings Terrace and is within walking distance of the village.
