Well, if there is one thing that you can certainly find in Nimbin and that is cafes. Well, among…read moreother things of course, but it is the cafes that basically grab my attention. Mind you, this one is more of a touristy café than the one frequented by the locals just a short walk down the road (though in Nimbin basically everything is a short walk down the road). However, they certainly did a pretty decent, and quite hearty, breakfast, and delivered quite a nice pot of tea as well.

This is Nimbin's best restaurant! I ate here over several days and was amazed by the quality of…read morefood. The pasta is made by the owner same-day and you can definitely tell! So fresh. It makes a HUGE difference! The owner accidentally confused my order for Peroni beer for a Pepperoni pizza, and when he brought it out to my confusion, he offered me a free slice and then I was hooked! I went back again and ordered a Margherita pizza. I didn't think I had the appetite to eat the entire pizza on my own, but I did! I also got their salami sandwich to go and it was also a great quality sandwich for a good value.

We had a great time at The Lazy Italian! The food was delicious. I had to come back again for the…read morechicken schnitzel, because it was so juicy and perfectly fried! I enjoyed the combo with schnitzel and spaghetti bolognese. The bolognese sauce was full of meat and flavor! We also enjoyed the special Spaghetti Marinara which was chocked full of fresh seafood. Yum! Even the garlic bread impressed us. If someone in your party can't decide on an item, the restaurant next door (Mongers) is owned by the same people. So you can order from either place and eat where you'd like! Both places are BYO wine & beer.

Tucked away down Bay Lane, the Lazy Italian sits right next door to its sister fish restaurant…read more Bay Lane can be a lot quieter than restaurants on the main strip and therefore if queues are long at the main hang outs you may well find space at The Lazy Italian. If you don't fancy Italian, you can sit at the Lazy Italian tables and order from the fish restaurant right next door as they are owned by the same company. You could go all out and have a mix of both fish and Italian. It is not a big place but my experience of it was quite good. The Lasagne had a very rich tomato sauce and the Mediterranean Salad that I ordered with Chicken was very well sized and priced. My only piece of feedback was that the chicken was super salty. You can buy non-alcoholic drinks with your meal or BYO preferred alcoholic meal matcher. Pleasantly surprised at this place when the queues for the other restaurants on the main roads were crazy (it was a lovely day inbetween Christmas and New Year so Byron Bay so it was high season and chocka full of visitors).

If there are only two of you, leave now! This place was designed for bigger party (more money, i…read moreguess), not for couples. The nicer tables are all for four, couple tables are sidelined to stranger spaces. We booked, n arrived early, but at that point our reserved table was already given to someone else (a party of 4). The waitress immediately apologized n got the maitre dhotel. He arrived n immediately said no such thing happened, we should just go n wait in the bar. Then we were allocated to the couple area...a long soft bench w four narrow tables. The chairs are so low that one person will be 2 inches taller on one side! The tables were also seated next to one HUGE party of two tables w very loud n happy guests. While we cramped on one side, there was so much space on the other end of the party table, n i just dont understand why not move the party table a bit further down. We should have lefted at that point, but it was after 8 30 on a Sat, n we didnt know where else to go. To be fair, the food was good, 4-star. But seriously, i could hear a word my partner said across the table. Thd waitress didnt evdn bother to introduce the daily because she had been shouting all night long. Couples? Just leave. Apparently this restaurant doesnt care for you.

I read about this place in a review so I thought it would be a good choice for dinner. This placed…read moreis packed on Friday and Saturday so make reservations. It's laid back Italian and you can get big boisterous tables eating family style or simpler smaller tables either way this place is lively! There is no spaghetti and meatballs, but you get more modern Italian/Mediterranean dishes like rare kangaroo with tuna mayo or octopus with fried shoe string potatoes. I enjoyed most of my dishes but was only so so on the creamed broccoli with orecchiette. The cocktails were phenomenal and more unique compared to other bars. The Italian wine selection included several by the glass that were affordable and I know that's hard to come by in Australia. The service is quite good and hospitable (the Italians really know how to make you feel welcome). The indoor/outdoor seating was perfect for a little sophistication without being stuffy ... after all this is Byron Bay.

The garlic prawns were sensational, I'm glad I'm not breathing on anyone anytime soon! The ravioli with sage butter was a life changer, I couldn't finish my wine I didn't want the taste to be gone from my mouth. The chicken was our second main and perfectly moist and tasty. Finally we had the rhubarb dessert (a step down memory lane for my English Mum) and an incredible tiramisu martini. The cocktail menu is a delight to sample!
