With amazing coffee, and a pork saddle I could make love to, lunch here on a summer's day is simply divine. Beautifully prepared food, sourced from local suppliers, you can really taste the difference. These aren't peas from a tin, but perfectly cooked garden fresh peas that burst with flavour. The street is full, the restaurant is busy, so I guess it's no secret after all. I've been meaning to come here for a while and am glad I made the trek. Check out the attached deli and bakery too if you have the time (make the time!)

The beautiful weatherboard cottage with big verandah and supersize windows set an airy and spacious…read morescene. We loved the relaxed and laidback country vibe of Harvest. In a way Harvest is quite similar to Three Blue Ducks, the restaurant we dined in on previous night, as they both source the freshest and best ingredients locally. If you have decided to come here, you are expected to pay more than elsewhere because of the care and love they have put into sourcing these fresh ingredients. We thought the quality of the food these two restaurants have provided were very similar. We have enjoyed the oysters, fish of the day for two, which was barramundi, and the grilled pumpkin and fermented onions. Harvest is perhaps slightly more creative with their flavours. However, we received much more professional and attentive service from Harvest. Harvest is definitely worth the drive from Byron Bay if you are prepared to pay more.

The Rudest Most Foul Mouthed owner We asked the kitchen for…read moresalt after being directed to the kitchen to get it. and were told to "GET THE F*** OUT OF HER RESTAURANT" she came out from behind the bench to do so. The food needed salt badly and my Banh mi roll was burnt. The chef had obviously had a busy christmas but to be told to get f'd is the worst I've ever heard of or experienced when asking for salt. She acted like Gordon Ramsey, except she is selling sandwiches and salads. Sorry sweetheart but you are no where near that level. We had to ask for new glasses as the ones we were given had lipstick on them. Really just an over priced average restaurant with slow service, so many better options in Bangalow. I witnessed the whole thing and when I asked the chef what happened she proceeded to lie to me to make herself look as though she did nothing wrong. I highly recommend giving this place a swerve - seems like the type of place you'd end up with spit in your overpriced sandwich. At the end of the day you are a customer and to be spoken to or treated like that this women doesn't deserve to own a restaurant. Also everything on the boring menu is so overpriced it's not funny. For example a salad with a piece of roast pumpkin some quinoa and some leaves was 25 or 28 dollars. Coffees are 6.00 and really is vegetarian - unless you want to spend an extra 10.00 on a tiny amount of protein as an extra - making your salad now nearly 40.00 This really was the worst cafe I've been to in my life, I would only recommend going there if you want to be over charged, want to wait too long and get sworn at by a cook who thinks she is a chef. Disgraceful.

I echo another reviewer in my praise for owner, Manfred Rudolf, and his team. They put on a great show every visit. The standout experience was definitely dinner on a Saturday night. Yum Yum Tree is located in a really special spot. Directly across the road from a mangrove lined estuary, amidst the lush subtropical rainforest dotted with weird and wonderful holiday shacks, and a mere stumble to the beach. As we sat at our cute candlelit table, the breeze funnelled down the road and made the atmosphere just right and the beading sweat on our foreheads redundant. Manfred had swapped his breakfast-lunch tank top and shorts for something a little more fitting of the linen-napkin dinner spread, and engaged us in genuine, light-hearted banter. He and his wait staff appeared when you needed them, "shall I top you up?", and disappeared when the reflection of the stunning surrounds was to be shared by only two. Entree of buffalo mozzarella was substantial and as fresh as it comes. Beautiful rosy-red tomatoes, as in season as you will get, accompanied creamy though subtle white disks of cheese. A basil leaf per mouthful cleansed the whole thing; acting as the roots, the glue, that made this simple food so of the earth. Mains were panfried snapper - fresh and local, of course - with kipfler potatoes, a refreshing citrus salad, and an assertive salsa verde, and butter-like venison served with asparagus and potato rosti and a cheerful balsamic sauce. For dessert, a 'bush tucker' creme brûlée with lemon myrtle and ginger, and a side of to-die-for-I-kid-you-not raspberry coulis. The thing I like most about Yum Yum is how understated it is. Just like the location. The ingredients do speak for themselves. That's how it should be. All the time!

This time I was visiting on Saturday and gladly it was open! The menu is exciting, but unfortunately, not all dishes can be made gluten free.

My husband and son enjoyed their meals too (although they didn't have a kid's menu). I'd definitely come here again, but I do think the prices are very steep.
