Best Dinner Places to Eat in Byron Bay

"399 Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay www.facebook.com/folkbyronbay Self-described as ‘organic, ethical, and plant-based’, Folk is quintessentially Byron. The cafe is a quiet oasis that sits on the outskirts of town and focuses on hearty but healthy breakfasts and quality coffee. Like any joint in the beachside district (even one a hop skip and a jump from the main drag) Folk is popular and there can be a wait for tables at times – but for those who can’t stomach the thought of a queue the eatery has a younger sister in nearby Bangalow,"

"It’s also popular with flexitarians who come here to eat and eat well. Our favourites at the garden café tacked onto a caravan park, where tree stumps serve as stools and railway sleepers define the veggie patch, include the smashed avo on organic sourdough (of course) with house-made dukkah, garden greens and toasted seeds or the Folk burrito with spiced biodynamic brown rice and quinoa with organic black beans, spiced kraut and cumin-roasted pumpkin."

"If you’re vegetarian or vegan, then you’ll quickly fall in love with the menu options at Folk. Add to this the dreamy, Instagrammable garden setting and swinging tunes, and you’ve got yourself a killer breakfast spot!. View this post on Instagram"

"Whenever you walk by this Byron Bay café expect to see it overflowing- the food and vibe are so good it’s always packed with locals and visitors alike. The interior décor and outdoor seating at this café ooze quintessential bohemian Byron charm and the food is delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options. Address: Corner Jonson & Marvell Street, Byron BayHours: Monday- Sunday 7 am – 2 pm"

"Again, this one was recommended by locals, but it’s clear tourists know about it also. Be prepared to line up. But, it is 100% worth it."

"Another super popular spot for breakfast in Byron Bay is Combi, with its central location. Out of all the options on the list their menu is probably the smallest – but the real draw here is their epic acai and smoothie bowls, with the Organic Chia Party being my pick of the bunch. If you’re not feeling those there are some staples on the menu too – including avo on toast, toasted sandwhiches and even the unusual, but popular Sweet Sprouted Bread – which combines toasted sprouted bread, tahini and bannana all drizzled with local honey."

"Healthy doesn’t have to mean boring, and Combi’s range of raw and organic dishes proves it. Think smoothies, cold-pressed juices, superfood bowls and raw vegan cakes (all of which are sugar- and gluten-free), served in a refreshingly airy space with a slightly tropical vibe. There is also a good range of organic, fair-trade coffees and teas to accompany your food, and a refreshing commitment to avoiding all single-use plastics."

"When the sun is out, the pavement hot and the carparks rare, stop in at Combi to cool your jets and reinvigorate. The smoothies here—adorned with roasted coconut and edible flowers—are almost too pretty to slurp and the acai bowls some of the biggest and best value in the whole of Byron."

"A staple in Byron for many decades, Rae’s on Wategos has a storied past but recently got a full makeover under new ownership in 2014 to modernize the beachfront property.

The design feels contemporary Australian but has hints of Mediterranean influences throughout the white-washed retreat."
