Eagles Nest sits at the top station of the Kosciuszko Express chairlift in Thredbo, at an altitude of 1,937 metres, and is known as Australia's highest restaurant, with 270-degree views over the valley. It serves coffee, hot chocolate, and casual pizza and pasta lunches, along with an alpine antipasto platter, sandwiches, scones and cocktails. The 2024/25 summer menu offers lunch from 11:30 to 14:00, with pizzas at around AUD 26–28. You must travel up by chairlift, and in winter visitors report needing to buy chairlift tickets. It can be crowded at peak times, so expect to queue.
