Byron Bay

About the restaurant

No Bones is the brainchild of Tahlia, Yasmina and Laurie. In an attempt to change the way we think about what we put in our mouths, we opened our doors in April 2018 with a vision of bringing meat eaters and vegans together over good plant-based food. With each passing year, No Bones has evolved, driven by the determination to do better for both our community and the environment.

We are part of a plant-based movement and invite you to join us on our expedition to save the Earth one Brussels sprout at a time.

I absolutely love No Bones, every time I go its just an incredible experience. The food is always insanely delicious, and I love that there’s always something new (and yummy) to try on the menu! I’ve been vegan for 6 years and my non-vegan mum and I always come here for mother-daughter nights out, and every time we leave very very full and content. The staff are always divine and the vibes are always perfect. LOVE YOU NO BONES !!!!!

Service was excellent and as we had one guest with mobility issues and they offered many solutions to help us. They were always friendly and courteous and we had an amazing river balcony view. The food was incredible and encouraged us to try something new. A little expensive but worth every cent. Highly recommend.

Byng Street Nights is a fantastic venue. The food portions are generous (made to share) and are of high quality. The waitstaff were very efficient, welcoming and knowledgeable about the meals and wine. We thought that it is excellent value for money and is a restaurant highly recommended to enjoy.

Il Toscano Long Jetty

Shelly Beach

About the restaurant

Il Toscano means “The Tuscan”, and is a perfect representation of everything I am, and all that I love about my home land in Italy.

My name’s Matteo – head pasta maker, chef and owner of il Toscano. I was born and raised in the countryside of Tuscany, and although I’ve now lived in Australia for over 9 years, my passion for all things Italian has never been stronger.

Nor has my passion for sharing it with Australia and the Central Coast. I noticed that while there are a lot of outlets serving Italian food up here, they’re largely not hitting the mark when it comes to quality, authenticity and traditional local Tuscan food.

Our mission is to bring people together for an amazing Italian experience with good food, wine and good times and share with you my strong passion and our local traditional cuisine as if you were in Tuscany.

About the restaurant

Once known as Larry Galvin's Commercial Hotel, this historic building has stood the test of time, witnessing the growth and evolution of Nyngan since its beginnings in 1883.

Originally a modest wooden structure, the hotel underwent a transformation into the sturdy brick building that still graces the corner of Nymagee and Dandaloo Streets today. Through the years, it has weathered numerous challenges, from world wars to natural disasters.

Under the proud ownership of the Stanton Family, The Nyngan has recently undergone a significant restoration project, breathing new life into its historic walls while preserving its rich heritage. Now fully licensed and equipped to cater to guests, it offers a welcoming atmosphere, delicious dining options, comfortable accommodation, and beautiful event spaces.

Passing back through town and stayed at the Nyngan again. This time was not Monday so Restaurant & Beer garden was open. We started with a drink in the beer garden but it got a bit cold so we moved into the dining room. Staff were very helpful and accomodating. Food was excelent. Grilled Cauliflower salad and the Ribs. Service was friendly. Very relaxed and comfortable. A great set up overall after a beautiful renovation. We stayed the night and were very impressed.

Lovely lunch venue with stunning lake views across to Forster including the bridge. The seafood is always of the highest quality and is local. The seafood platter is a great dish. As an oyster lover, the Natural are accompanied by Mornay and Kilpatrick. Heaps of crab enough prawns and battered flathead along with mussel / prawn hotpot as well as other treats are as good as it gets. The price is more than fair! My sticky date caramel with ice cream was much better than many I have eaten. A special meal when you need a treat!
