Great food, friendly staff, very good position in town.
The Fennel Seed has been our weekly lunchtime indulgence for a number of years. Always a pleasure.

Fabulous Food
We were staying at Urunga and took a drive up Waterfall Way and stopped on Bellingen for a coffee and we ended up staying for lunch. Amazing coffee, beautiful Seafood Chowder and Chicken and mushroom crepe. Yum yum. Well worth the drive.
