Taverna

Best Known For

Byron Bay Haloumi; Slow-roasted lamb shoulder, cauliflower puree, jus and thyme.

Just a stone’s throw from the beachfront on Marine Parade, Taverna is a boutique, Greek-inspired restaurant in Kingscliff. Step through the mint-coloured front door, where flowering bougainvillea trails a cheery pink canopy over the entrance, to find an interior vibe of white-clothed tables and blond wood – just close your eyes and imagine you are on your favourite Greek island. Designed to share, Taverna’s menu uses the freshest produce from the local region and every dish has been carefully created to take advantage of seasonal flavours; as seen in small plates of grilled sardines, olive oil and lime. Delve into dishes like free-range charred chicken, salsa verde and sides of fried potatoes and baked pumpkin; before a decadent dessert of dark chocolate panna cotta and seasonal berries.
