Food Scene

Roadhouse source their products locally and as such, the special’s board is always changing. Gluten Free? They have got you covered. I'd recommend stopping by for lunch and ordering their fish tacos! Not open Sundays.

When it comes to sustainable food, the team at ‘The Farm’ not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk. The Farm itself incorporates a number of ventures, but the true hero (aside from the setting) is the onsite restaurant also known as ‘Three Blue Ducks’. The boys from the Sydney ‘Three Blue Ducks’ venture have based their menu on the food sourced the grounds of “The Farm” itself, as well as incorporated some of the best produce that the region has to offer. My favourite is their lunch menu, but if you stop by for breakfast, their coffee is to die for. If you’re bringing small children, there is a great playground on site which will keep them entertained.

If you’ve had a chance to view Folk’s Instagram feed, you will know that this place isn’t one to be missed. It’s a tiny cafe that serves up the infamous Duke’s coffee (from Melbourne), one of the best Organic Dandelion Chai Lattes I’ve ever had (on whichever milk you fancy), as well as a DELICIOUS range of wholesome breakfast and lunch options. Located near the caravan park on the way into town, it’s easily missed so keep an eye out – food was perfection.

Top Shop is known for their burgers (and hand cut sweet potato fries). All of the meat they use is free-range, grass-fed and eggs are organic. They make their own breads and pastries and have organic milk and almond milk on offer for coffee. Pick a gorgeous day and sit on the lawn amongst the Byron locals.

You can’t go past Bay Leaf. They are a favourite amongst locals and tourists alike which may mean waiting in line during busy periods, so get their early to avoid disappointment. The scrambled eggs special is my favourite alongside ALL of their lunch menu. Bay Leaf never disappoints. The team serve up Blackboard Coffee Roasters.
