Fig Tree Restaurant & Rooms

Fig Tree Restaurant & Rooms Review

In this century-old farmhouse with distant views of Byron Bay the draw is upmarket Mod-Oz cuisine blending Asian and Mediterranean flavors. Produce fresh from the owners' farm is featured on the menu, along with locally produced Bangalow duck, Bangalow pork belly, and Binna Burra sirlion steak. À la carte choices also include field and forest mushroom risotto and slow-roasted shoulder of lamb. There are inexpensive set menus throughout the week, including the four-course farmer's market menu on Thursday (A55 for four courses; A$75 for six courses) The restaurant serves dinner from Thursday to Saturday, and lunch on weekends. As the name suggests, the restaurant also has accommodation: the Dairy and the House, two cottages that have wonderful views and can both sleep up to eight people; prices are from A$400 a night in the holiday season of Christmas, January and Easter with a minimum of two nights. The restaurant and rooms are 5 km (3 mi) inland from Byron Bay at Ewingsdale.
