Restaurants in Byron Bay

  1. A

    Twisted Sista

    Gluttonous goodies such as oversized quiches, frittatas and salads tumble over each other in a mass of fresh and fabulous ingredients at this warm café. The sweets are too big for solo efforts.

  2. B

    Balcony Bar & Restaurant

    Amid voyeuristic seating or cosy, obese cushions, the Balcony dishes up Ottoman overtones and fabulous fare for breakfast and lunch, and midnight tapas to soak up the cocktails.

    Byron Orion

    Orion's open door policy stops passers by in their tracks. It could be the delicious red vinyl walls and supper cocktails, but we're pretty sure it's the hot and spicy scents courtesy of Gujurauti beef, rogan josh, and vindaloo. Breakfast is decidedly Australian free range eggs.

    Dish

    Ivy-clad walls and floor-to-ceiling glass create an atrium atmosphere at this dishy restaurant. The equally sophisticated cuisine includes pan-roasted eye fillet with potato, onion and bacon croquette.

    Bay Leaf Café

    Locals flock to this teeny, bohemian cafe that packs a punch for its small size. Best meal of the day is breakfast: the fresh stewed rhubarb, yoghurt and pistachios shouldn’t be missed.

    Mary Ryan’s

    Snuggled up to the ABC bookshop, this literary cafe provides coffee drinkers with a caffeine high. Speaking of high, the ceilings are, leaving plenty of wall space for artworks.

    Orgasmic

    Proving unequivocally that it's not the size of the wave but the motion of the spatula, even the 'half pockets' at this cosy hole-in-the-wall eatery satisfy voracious patrons. Alternative climaxes include kofta, schnitzels and sublime Middle Eastern dips.

    Cardamom Pod

    Fusing flavours from the sub-continent with an Aussie twist, this teeny gem serves excellent salads, curries and samosas at a handful of tables. The whole menu is vegetarian and you can vacuum your tofu and pumpkin salad here or get it to go.

    Fins

    Tucked behind the boisterous Beach Hotel pub, this elegant sibling serves fish tagines, Mauritian seafood sambals and Tiger Abalone. The marine mains are touted as the best on the coast and celeb chefs pop in to prepare degustation nights.

    Fresh

    Serving up Mediterranean salads, spicy nasi goreng and Sumatran lamb, Fresh is an adaptable eatery and a favourite stomping ground for locals. Diners sip coffee outside in the morning sun and chatter over candlelight at night.

    Casa Pepe

    It’s strictly vegetarian, but this cosy restaurant is worthy of all dietary persuasions. Happy patrons sit in the sheltered courtyard and tuck into pizzas, pies, soups and tofu burgers for lunch and smart pastas for dinner.

    Succulent Cafe

    And succulent the steak sandwiches, grilled mahi mahi salads, and chilli prawn linguini are! This narrow café packs plenty of flavour and ingredients into a fresh menu. Mosaic-tiled tables and great coffee.

    Kinoko Sushi Bar
