In an effort to find the best that the Lithgow area has to offer, from best place to go for a walk to best hangover breakfast, the Lithgow Mercury is using the power of social media to ask the community to nominate the best of the best.

Old Dennis Seafood on Main Street, Lithgow.

Maria Vlassis from Old Dennis was overcome with joy when we presented her with the award as voted by Lithgow residents.

"Thank you very much for this, we really try to cook the best we can and give the public good food they can enjoy," Maria Vlassis said.

"Sometimes we get very busy and the staff are working hard but we always try to do our absolute best.

"I have been here a long time now, so I think I will retire soon, but I do love it and enjoy the community."

The shop is currently open every day except Wednesday and Sunday.
