A genuine byron favourite
Every visit has been a great experience. The food is always fresh and beautifully presented, the setting is hard to beat, and the staff are genuinely friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place we keep coming back to, whether it's for a relaxed lunch or a special dinner. Easily one of our favourite restaurants in Byron.

Don't Question It! Just Go!
Don't question it, just make the reservation, you won't be disappointed! There maybe multiple restaurants in Byron Bay, but there is NO OTHER as fantastic as Beach.
When you see the portion sizes you will not question the price. The dishes are generous in size and flavour and the presentation is stunning. I was spoilt for choice when perusing the menu. A good reason to come back soon!
The service is impeccable. The staff are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate. They invest a lot of consideration and care in ensuring you have a wonderful experience.
The mussel dish I chose for my entree was probably one of the best I have had from any restaurant. The combination and flavours are unique and delicious. Local Mulloway was my main course of choice, perfectly cooked and served with a light beurre blanc, crispy pancetta and salmon caviar. Both courses were complimented by a beautiful Gros Nore' Rose from the Bandol region of France. I chose Ruby Chocolate mousse for dessert which was again unique and delicious. The chef uses native raspberries from the local market in Byron Bay to perfectly cut through the sweetness and richness of the ruby chocolate.
My husband's Rhubarb Mille Feuille was and I quote 'faultless'
There was no sunset that afternoon, but a dark, stormy and menacing sky was our vista, making the ocean look like an aquamarine jewel. It was nothing short of breathtaking.
I nosily saw a couple nearby ordering from the 'Happy Hour' menu and I was keen to learn further details from our wonderful server Alan. So that is next on the list, Happy Hour, possibly staying for dinner to enjoy the rest of the menu. God I love this place.

Perfection
Michelin need to come to NSW, preferably Byron Bay. There’s only one worthy restaurant of a star in Byron & it’s not run by a 'celebrity' chef either. Chef Barret has beyond nailed the brief, of all the criteria of Michelin. The menu reads beautifully. It’s not pretentious & there’s no mention of idiotic terms that you need to google whilst perusing. For me it's the execution. It’s about the back story and traceability of the produce. Every dish my little group sampled was not only thoughtful but balanced, textural & exciting. Perfection is a big word in hospitality, but you will experience it here.
It’s been under the same ownership for the past 20 years, no mean feat in the fragile times we live in & where every dollar spent has to be considered. No need to worry at Beach, the quality & enormity of the portions is pure value.
The service is like NOTHING you will find in Byron. Water & wine is replenished without the guest even realising. A dropped knife is heard from the other side of the restaurant & replaced in seconds. It’s warm, genuine & text book hospitable.
The wine list is complex without being complicated & written in a way that you don’t feel overwhelmed or out of your depth. Adam is a walking wine bible. He knows his product. Nothing is too much trouble & no question is silly, his dept of knowledge & experience is second to none.
The beauty of Beach, is the choices you have. No limited set menus here. You can have 4 or 5 courses with a complimenting beverage to suit each dish (like we did) or you can have a plate of oysters & a glass of bubbles. Don’t miss the aged sirloin though. Wow. An absolute highlight. The produce is some of the best you will get, The staff know where your food is born & bred & it reflects in the passion & love shown in the food & service. I can't recommend Beach highly enough & what a truly fabulous birthday my mum had & we will be talking about our lunch at Beach for a long time to come. Thank you!

Recently met with some old friends in Byron Bay for lunch at the Beach Cafe on the specials board they had Bugs which were superb possibly the best I have tasted.. I felt the wine a little expensive but the coffee was good

Byron Beach Cafe for me is now my memory of a lifetime, sitting on the beachfront enjoying the most amazing food - honestly the kitchen has some high scale talent there. enjoying a beautiful glass of wine with my partner, the sunset over the beach waht a scenery and then my partner proposes! I cant think of a more beautiful setting for a romantic occasion. It was my thought straight away that my wedding will be here as well.

All I can say is thank you Byron Beach Cafe for making my moment even more magical with your amazing establish. The food the Staff and the setting could not be more amazing. We will be back!!!!

I came to the Byron Beach Cafe for a Christmas Party, the atmosphere was electric - they had some live music playing as well and the food was AMAZING. The share place concept is fantastic I went with my 9 year old as well who had so much fun, have to say I had a very fun memorable night.

Great venue, very friendly staff, great food, great night and on top of that catars for kids!!! Could you ask for more? I dont think so!
