14/20Updated October 22, 2026,first published November 11, 2024A hotel restaurant worth staying for.Wondering where chef Alejandro Huerta landed after Comedor shut up shop? Find him cooking alongside his partner Galia Valadez at Blackheath’s Kyah Hotel.Book a table close to one of the many fires heating the room during winter, or a seat on the enclosed balcony once it warms up. Or perch at the bar with a round of hash browns topped with whipped ’nduja. The spicy Calabrian pork paste works surprisingly well with a palo santo-infused whisky cocktail. A grilled Skull Island prawn resting on a fresh tortilla dressed with mussel cream brings some heavy sea funk to the table. There are bigger wins on the menu, such as juicy fried chicken on a slick of warrigal-green curry sauce, lifted with thinly sliced pickled jicama and cucumber. See also the beautifully silken banana and corn cake topped with fresh gooseberries, and the deep-south-style fried pie, filled with local apples and drizzled with dulce de leche.
