I had read a few articles about the best pies in the Blue Mountains. Practically all of them rate Mountain High Pies along the highway as the best. Considering I had eaten pies at Bakehouse on Wentworth and Gatsby's (both in Blackheath), I wanted to know what the best reputed were like for comparison.
It made for an easy pit stop (without having to deviate from the highway) toward Sydney/Canberra.
- Breakfast Pie – bacon, mushrooms & onion in a tomato sauce with mashed potato & a whole egg on top;
- Beef & Red Chilli Beans - tasty filling but surprisingly spicy and hot. Slightly painful to eat so I would probably get something else next time;
- Sausage Roll - some nice mince with still some homogenous coarse texture.
Overall the fillings are very good. I would prefer the pastry to be a little less flaky and a little thicker and buttery, but can't complain. Bakehouse on Wentworth was possibly better for me for that reason.
