They're more along the lines of a more decadent vegan meal, but... every single thing I had was perfectly done. Delicious, well-flavored, and interesting. I started with one of their coconuts-- with milk thistle tincture and chlorophyll. It was good, perfectly cold. Enjoyed the olives for a starter-- generous portion but at $9 still scary. $21 for a very small Caesar salad was also scary. Yummy, but scary for how tiny the portion was. Enjoyed a turmeric latte-- delicious. And also a cacao maca latte-- even more delicious than the turmeric latter. Both were some crazy price as well. $65 for a dinner for one. Not much food. Luckily, I wasn't that hungry. Note: they DO NOT have free wifi or wifi of any kind-- which is disturbing given the touristy nature of Byron Bay, but alas. For whatever reason, nope. The waiter and manager were exceptionally nice-- really lovely people. I will go again, not look at the prices, and enjoy the food. :)

The Beet is a great little gem tucked away in an unassuming shopping centre in Byron Bay (where the…read moreWoolies is). Though it might not look like much from the outside, it's got such a great vibe on the inside. The decor is elegant in a casual, sort of summery way, with white chairs, green plants hanging down from the ceiling, edgy wallpaper (is that an oxymoron?), and fashionable lighting fixtures. Sort of an odd mix in terms of decor but it just works. You feel like you're in a slightly upscale but not stuffy or pretentious place. Perfect for Byron Bay with its odd mix of hippie surfer residents, broke backpackers, and cashed-up tourists. The restaurant is all-vegan, but this place is popular with non-vegans too. I agonized over the menu because everything sounded delicious. Finally, I went with the Philly Cheesesteak ($23), in part because I was curious was a vegan version would taste like and in part because I was curious what an Australian version would taste like (I'm an American.) :D It was good. Not knock-your-socks-off-good, but interesting-good. Not even close to authentic, because it was more like a "deconstructed" plate, not an actual Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It didn't come in a bun -- instead, it had strips of sourdough bread with it. The "cheesesteak" part was made with vegan cheese and house-made seitan. I LOVED the seitan, but I felt the vegan cheese needed a little work (something about it just tasted like velveeta instead of a nice creamy cheese -- maybe they used nutritional yeast instead of cashew cheese or similar?) Generally, I find "deconstructed" food a little wanky, and at $19-24 for mains here, the portion size was pretty small. So that was the downside. Even so, I enjoyed my dining experience here, the friendly service, the people, and the vibes, and I'd definitely go back and try other stuff on the menu next time I'm in Byron.

The view at best is the supermarket car park, and the service is vaguely haphazard, but all is forgiven because these guys know how to put flavour into vegan food. Our experience is most chefs just don't understand how to do this, or you end up eating avocado, again. Sigh. We had courgette flowers stuffed with feta type cheese, an amazing big bowl, which was not oily, and fresh pasta with pesto, that again, was packing subtle but satisfying flavours. We even had dessert. We never have dessert. So this tells you something. We loved this place, next time we are in Byron we will be running, not walking back there.

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.

The veggie bowl had loads of delicious miso glazed eggplant, and the hash bowl had delicious potatoes and ham. I also had the turmeric latte, 7/10. I don't know why, but I expected it to have coffee as well so when it was just turmeric and almond milk it felt a little bland. The cinnamon and flowers were a nice touch. I should've added a shot of espresso. The woman taking my order was great though and made sure to ask if I was ok with regular milk, which made me decide to choose almond instead. Service was efficient and it was a nice day to have lunch outside under a tree. Glad we stopped by, I would definitely come back again.

I made a last-minute reservation a few days before, and we came here around 5ish on a Saturday night. Our server was friendly, efficient and gave us some menu recommendations. The vibe of the restaurant is trendy and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered five dishes to share between the two of us, which was honestly too much food. The food here is completely vegan, though they have some menu items like the duck pancakes, which contain fake meat. From the dishes we ordered, the eggplant pull-a-parmi and the tomato tartare were standouts. We got some fried tofu that was pretty mediocre and I would not recommend this. Would recommend to anyone visiting or living in Byron Bay, whether you're vegan or not.

Since you're in Byron Bay, I struggle to imagine why you'd be thinking about some other beach. The menu is a mix of Indonesian and Australian brunch foods, and is reasonably vegetarian and vegan-friendly, though I preferred their breakfast options to their lunch. The pancakes I tried were indulgent and heavy on the coconut ice cream. A nice vacation-y brunch if there ever was one. Worth noting that they have a credit card surcharge; always good to carry cash.

Massive meat lovers for my partner which did not skimp on the meat. Both well topped with the best crust to filling ratio I've ever seen. We ordered a medium but a small each would have been better. We ended up taking the leftovers home; and by home I mean they made the road trip back the next day. My partner wasn't wasting them. The garlic bread appeared house made.
