About Heritage Hotel Dorrigo Family Bistro
Built in 1925, the aptly named Heritage Hotel Motel in Dorrigo is home to The Heritage Hotel Dorrigo Family Bistro, a family-friendly venue of choice for both locals and those travelling through. Constructed by Michael Feros, the grandeur of this heritage-listed locale is a classic example of Australian architecture, maintaining a timeless style from the inside out. Furnished with original dining room tables topped with Dorrigo hoop pine, the bistro radiates with warm homely touches of honey-toned wood, exposed brick and lush ferns. The lunch crowd is satisfied with offerings like lamb shanks with mashed potato and steamed greens; while those dining in the evening can expect mains such as salt and pepper King prawns, squid, chips and salad, best enjoyed with a chilled glass of white wine.

Food was amazing! We both had the slow cooked pork belly and it melted in our mouths. The crackling was perfect. Thoroughly recommend eating here after just one meal. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Great food and service
We visited on a very busy weekend. The staff were great, food arrived in a timely manner and was excellent.
Tiny Town - Huge Menu
he Fernery Bistro at the Heritage Motel in Dorrigo has a menu that runs to four blackboards and making choices takes some whitling down. There was a board of A La Carte offerings, one with your typical pub fare (all under $20), one with Wood fired Pizzas and one with Desserts (trust me- if you can manage dessert after finishing their very generously portioned mains then you're a better man than I am). We settled on the Crispy skinned Hoi Sin Duck with Orange Glaze served with local King Prawn Fried Rice and the Slow cooked Lamb Shanks served with Green Beans, Creamy Mash and Lamb Jus. The duck was as described - Delightfully Crispy skinned and tender and succulent within. The sweetness of the Orange Glaze and Hoi Sin set if off perfectly. The Fried rice was surprisingly 'buttery' in flavour and very tasty. My husband was salivating over the Shanks before his first mouthful. The lamb fell away from the bone and was tender and juicy. The Jus was perfect and the deep fried sweet potato shavings gave a sweet and crunchy edge to an otherwise traditional shank. It's honestly worth a visit to Dorrigo just to eat here. (PS- They also have Waterfalls up there)
My husband and I spent two nights at the Heritage Hotel. Unfortunately for us we were unable to get a balcony room (due to them being booked out), but the room we were in was suitable for our stay. It was very clean, as was the whole hotel. Now for the food! My god! It was divine. It was first class food and they catered for me as I am coeliac. The staff which included the chef and assistant went out of their way to make sure the food was perfect. I would go there just to eat the food. Would I recommend this hotel? Most definitely. Also, the locals are very friendly also.
