The 17 best places for steak in Byron Bay

We had such a great time at Bang Bang in Byron Bay! The atmosphere is super fun and energetic, with amazing vibes all around. The staff were so lovely and the service was on point the whole night. The food was SO delicious! Everything is designed to be shared. We were honestly surprised at how generous the portions were—everything just kept coming! We’re big eaters and even we couldn’t finish it all. Had to take a doggie bag home, which says a lot. Really great value for money, especially considering how tasty everything was. The wine list is solid, but the cocktails are where it’s at—so many fun and creative options. If you’re visiting Byron and looking for a great place to eat, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. Such a good time! Note: We dined here December 2024

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.

We had the best time at No Bones! A friend recommended the restaurant to us, and after reading the reviews, it was an easy decision to go. We're not vegan and we eat meat occasionally, but we're used to plant-based meals, so we weren't surprised by how good everything was (because YES, you can create wonders with vegan food!). The dishes were absolutely delicious, and we really loved the cocktails too. We tried the Margarita, the Paradise Pearl, the Outback Sour and the Heat Wave (the Heat Wave was surprising! 🌶️) We ended up ordering so much food that we couldn't finish it all, but luckily we were able to take the leftovers home. We tried the bao buns during happy hour, the mac 'n' cheese, the crispy chicken, the organic focaccia, and the eggplant parmi. Everything was amazing; it’s hard to choose a favourite! We were too full to try the chocolate tart, which we regret a little... Service was exceptional, Yasmina was truly amazing. It was a bit chilly inside (winter time...), but that didn't stop us from having a fantastic evening.

A great sophisticated restaurant and bar at the Paris end of Jonson street. Byron bay has plenty of grungy eateries but not many with an ambience of casual sophistication which it what this place has in spades. The wine list was eclectic and the food as tasty as it was different. The service was friendly and our waiter paired the wine perfectly with the food. Really recommend this one.

This place was great! We ordered the Sultan’s Feast and loved it – super tasty and satisfying. The vibe was fun and relaxed, and the staff were awesome, checking in regularly. Food came out quickly and we left happy. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing burgers, don't be afraid of the pineapple one, just try it! The service was great too, definitely the best burger place in Byron!

We came in for a late lunch today and had such a wonderful experience! The staff were absolutely lovely — warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was fantastic, full of flavour and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and service. Highly recommend Ember Byron Bay if you’re after a relaxed spot with great vibes and delicious food. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I visited Moonlight in December 2024 and absolutely loved it. It’s a super cool, contemporary Japanese hibachi grill and wine bar with a real focus on sharing plates—which worked perfectly for us because we wanted to try everything! Every dish we had was super fresh, beautifully balanced, and incredibly moreish. The drinks menu is also fantastic, with some great sake and wine options that paired so well with the food. The ambiance is moody and stylish without feeling overdone, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and really on point the whole night. It’s definitely a popular spot, so I’d highly recommend booking ahead if you're planning to go. Such a great night out—we’ll definitely be back!

Outstanding food. Literally the best Focaccia I’ve ever had. Burrata was awesome but I ate it before I could get a picture. Nice little place with great service. Waiter “Roman” was a good lad

We spent a pleasant evening at Yulli's for dinner on a Saturday night. We had the $48 pp banquet menu which was good value. Great presentation, tasty dishes and excellent service. We had the paired drinks which included a cocktail, two wines and a sake, the standout of the four drinks being the sake. It's great to see that in these times, there is still quality food to be had at a good price.

I came here on my first night, and it was the only lively bar/restaurant by the beach. It wasn’t peak season, so the area was fairly quiet. There was live music, and they were playing country — our favourite — so we absolutely loved it.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Staff were very nice and friendly. Very knowledgeable of the dishes and talkative. Food itself was very tasty and came out quick. The pitta and dips were bursting with flavour and just as we finished the mains came out promptly. The Halloumi stack was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out very hot. Partner said it was just like being in Greece and offended the staff when she said she didn’t like Feta cheese haha.

Outstanding from Start to Finish This was hands down the most informative brewery tour I’ve ever experienced—and the generous beer tastings were a fantastic bonus. Our French host was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, engaging, and eager to share insights. In fact, every staff member we encountered was exceptional—genuinely friendly and full of personality. The beer itself? Absolutely top-tier, with a diverse range to suit every palate. And the in-house restaurant holds its own too, serving up delicious food that pairs perfectly with the brews. If you’re in the Byron Bay area, this place is an absolute must-visit. 💯

We had a fabulous experience at Pixie! We had seen many people raving about this spot on Tiktok so thought we would give it a try. Very friendly staff, attentive to water refills and clearing the table. We had: Focaccia - I really enjoyed the balsamic vinegar Mozzarella di Bufala - this was delicious! Would definitely recommend ordering this. Casarecce, Vodka Sauce - vodka pasta is hard to get wrong but this one was very nice and we were surprised how much we enjoyed such a simple dish. Paccheri, Wagyu Bolognese - lovely flavours, the meat was high quality, no fatty or gristley bits. Fries, Rosemary Salt - well seasoned and the aoli was not too garlicky, nicely flavoured. We finished with the tiramisu - we have tiramisu everywhere we go when it’s on the menu and this one was up there with one of the best we have had. All our food came out in great time. Overall we had a fabulous experience and will definitely be back.

Hutong Harry’s is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the incredible atmosphere. It is vibrant, welcoming and the perfect place to unwind. The food is absolutely next level. Every dish was packed with flavour, beautifully presented and left us wanting more. The drinks were just as impressive with a fantastic selection that perfectly complemented the meal. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the service. Nikita was an absolute delight. She was attentive, friendly and an absolute credit to the restaurant. She went above and beyond to make our night special and we honestly can’t praise her enough. If I could give more than five stars I definitely would. Hutong Harry’s has set the bar sky high and we will be back for sure.

Went to see Soul'D band and decided to have dinner as well. Food really good, wasn't sure as it's a rough and ready casual fun vibe there. Five stars as one of our friends got up for a dance and staff didn't realise and took her only just started dinner. They had no problems replacing it. Would definitely go back for just the food.

We heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautifully designed and has a real magical vibe to it. The service is 10/10. Such friendly and helpful staff. I love hearing about the cultural background of the dishes we were eating. Lastly, the food. Everything was so well-balanced and tasty. The empanadas, tuna ceviche and corn were our favourites, and of course the desserts. Definitely recommend!
