👍👍 Heard about this beer brewery from locals as a must visit. Got here just before my flight to Sydney. Huge space and there are variety of beers you could try. When i came there are 12 different beers on offering. Don’t worry if you can’t take much alcohol like myself, they do tasting flights that all...

👍👍 Well worth the detour on our road trip south from Brisbane. Situated in the industrial part of Ballina, this roastery is a winner. The coffee has beautiful rich flavours which lingers long after the last sip. They also have some great snacks in the cabinet. Service is professional, prompt & friend...

👍👍 Superb, traditional French cuisine. Prepared to the highest level. The smoothest, most perfectly balanced pate we have ever had. Relaxing and non pretentious atmosphere. Our wine was decanted at the table, a rarity these days. All staff were experienced and performed their roles seamlessly. Cannot r...

👍👍 This place was recommended to me by the breakfast shirts community. I went for breakfast and a coffee. Really good coffee and a great menu, I had the hummus with slow cooked lamb. I’ll be coming back.

Oysters, fresh king prawns, garlic cooked prawns, perfectly cooked squid, a whole cooked snapper, and chips....

👍👍 Rural Indian meals are getting fabulous. Lovely service, great local ale, but more important AMAZING Indian food. We asked for spicy and the dishes were full.of flavour with a bit of heat. The jeers rice was fantastic too. If you like Indian you'll be impressed.

👍👍 Friendly and quick service. The food was ridiculously fresh and probably the best value fish and chips I’ve had. We got the pack for 2 and could barely get through half of it!

👍👍 Yum! The food and coffee here are so so good. I wouldn't normally take a food photo but the fruit with muesli was so beautiful! Kids loved their food too. They were super busy, but the staff were still very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. Food came very promptly too. Definitely recommend.

The staff are so wonderful and helpful, and as much as I don’t wri...

👍👍 This place needs more recognition and reviews!!! The best bakery in Ballina. I have been holidaying here and have made it my morning ritual to visit this place. I’ve had the sausage rolls, pies 🥧 , scrolls and croissants 🥐 which were all delicious. The pastry is so fluffy and flaky, honestly th...
