Relax after an invigorating day of bushwalking through the Blue Mountains at Ates in Blackheath, where the 150-year-old ironbark-fuelled oven (Ates means ‘fire’ in Ottoman Turkish) invites you to unwind and feast on contemporary share plates and fun wines with all your senses. Tuck into the likes of charcoal-grilled dory and wood-fired Jack’s Creek sirloin from the a la carte menu, or prep your appetite for the chef’s banquet for carnivores or vegetarians.

A driving force behind their food and drink is championing local produce. They use local honey from Malfoy’s wild honey. Sustainably farmed fresh produce from Farm It Forward and Epicurean Harvest. Locally brewed craft beers from Mountains Culture Beer Co. Our local wine producers include natural wines from Frankly this wine was made by Bob and more traditional styles from Darragh wines from The Megalong Valley.

Drift off to sleep as you recall each morsel of your memorable meal in your blue mountains holiday accommodation bookable on Search and Stay.
