Byron Bay Food and Wine Directory
Byron Bay Food and Wine
Byron Bay’s food scene makes room for both easy seaside meals and more involved ways to eat, drink and learn. Seafood and pub classics work well for a casual oceanfront stop, while bistros and restaurants bring seasonal plates, shared dishes and international flavours to breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also thoughtful places to shop for regional produce, join a cooking class, or settle in for a tasting.
Beyond town, distilleries and cooking schools offer bookable experiences, while catering services can bring a tailored menu to celebrations and gatherings across the Northern Rivers.

The beachfront restaurant and kitchen serves seafood and pub classics with craft beer, cocktails and other drinks. It is a relaxed choice for a meal beside the ocean, whether the occasion calls for familiar pub fare or a seafood-focused plate.
