solitary Solitary was created by Georgia Shepherd and John Cross in 2000. They were Sydneysiders and wanted to escape the dirt of the city and fill their lungs and those of their two small children with clean air. They had a vision to create an alchemy of superb food in a sublime location. The name 'Solitary' was chosen by them to mark a new era for the site. Mount Solitary dominates the restaurant's view of the Jamison Valley and is both a grounding and uplifting presence. The restaurant is also situated on its own promontory and is quite separate from the villages of Leura and Katoomba. The ever changing cloudscape is awe inspiring and uplifting. Hence the name seemed appropriate for reasons both geographic and metaphoric. For them it is a place for contemplation and for experiencing the profound beauty of the Mountains, as they focus on striving to create a truly memorable dining experience for their guests. In 2003, they opened the Solitary Kiosk as a tribute to the building's history. The kiosk walls are adorned with transcribed oral accounts and anecdotes from both previous occupants and visitors to the site from 1913 to the present.
