The new iWok chinese and asian restaurant is an old favourite in a new position!

Ricky still creates the best asian cuisine in Lennox Head - fresh ingredients, plenty of delicious asian sauces and sizzling aromas.

One of our favourites is Sizzling Secheun Beef - served on the classic hot plate. If you can’t make up your mind, try this.

iWok Chinese and Asian Restaurant has plenty of choices for everyone, including some amazing vegetarian dishes.

Prices are very reasonable - entrées from just $5 and mains from $12 to $20.

iWok is open 7 days a week - perfect for a Monday night takeaway.

Groups are a specialty, so if you are thinking of a great location to hold your function, look no further that iWok.

Cafe Mazah is a great little vegetarian cafe located opposite Santos (near the corner Stuart Rd). You could easily miss if you weren’t looking out.

Mullumbimby is a town known for its passion for healthy alternative living, and Cafe Mazah has a great selection of homemade vegetarian delights.

I sat down for lunch and enjoyed a delicious falafel stuffed pita roll with fresh salad and tahini. Just one word…perfect!

If you are visiting Mullumbimby, drop in for a fantastic, flavoursome and healthy vegetarian lunch.

The Petit Snail in Byron Bay is an authentic French Restaurant with a fantastic seasonal menu.

We enjoyed a variety of delicious entrées, dinners and desserts, and were spoilt for choice.

You will find some favourites, like Escargots de Bourgogne (snails in garlic butter), and French Onion Soup. We also tried Foie Gras, French Country Style Paté and Duck a l’Orange.

Ok, this is a must do.

Milk and Honey does the most amazing wood-fired pizzas.

The style is classic, with handmade thin crust that goes beautifully crunchy, and a thin layer of ingredients. There is no smothering of cheap and nasty cheese here.

Milk and Honey was packed out, which surprised us somewhat, being in the quiet town of Mullumbimby. Clearly the locals know this place is amazing.

There are no names to the pizzas, just a list of ingredients on a printed out piece of paper - great idea too - let them do what they do best. Classic Italian pizzas.

Prosciutto, ham and spicy salami make up the meatier dishes, and there is a great selection of vegetables such as pumpkin, eggplant and more. We also tried the apple and walnut salad - subtle and a fantastic compliment to a fiery pizza.

The ingredients are local and fresh (the basil was pungent), and the taste is amazing.

Mullumbimby is just a 5 min drive off the Pacific highway - take the time to drop in to Milk and Honey.

BYO

Call to check opening hours - these vary during summer and winter months.

Fishheads seafood restaurant at Byron Bay is one of our favourites.

One thing is certain - there is a good selection of interesting seafood dishes, and it is always fresh.

Scallops, bugs, prawns, crabs, oysters…you name it, it’s there. And it’s not deep fried.

For those of you who don’t like seafood, try a steak, chicken or lamb shanks.

Meals are expensive ($20-$50), obviously due to the more exotic seafood and preparation. But it is worth it for a once in a while treat.

You may like to try a shared seafood platter for around $60.

Located at the top of Jonson St, the balcony overlooks the ocean at Main Beach, Byron Bay.

Also great place for breakfast and lunch, and you can watch the passing crowd.

Make sure you book - Fishheads seafood restaurant at Byron Bay is always busy - popular amongst visitors and locals.

BYO and licenced.

The occasion -a birthday, the venue - Carindale Hotel.  First impressions were good.  Nice layout and atmosphere but sadly it was downhill from there.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - service, service, service!  Some of our party were already there, so we seated ourselves.  

Waited, waited and waited for service.  Menus were already on the table, when the waitress finally came to our table it was to take our meal order, yet our parched palates had not been seen to.  After our drinks were served, we ordered our meals.  The waitress informed one end of the table of the specials neglecting the rest of the diners.  One thing I’ll say is there were a good variety of meals were available with steaks priced at under $30 seemingly quite reasonable.  No follow up drink service was offered.  

Some of the entrees were served, we had to chase up our bread!  Usually it’s customary to clear one course before the next is served…?  Mains were delivered.  One thing that impresses me with a restaurant is when they take the time to do a structured order and then can deliver the dishes to the correct diner without having to say a word.  Don’t bother going to this effort when you can’t follow through.

Bland risottos and overcooked steaks were the order of the night.  Every steak was overcooked.  The only complementary thing I can say is good presentation.

As I mentioned we were there for a birthday.  I would think you might check that the birthday girl/boy was at the table before bringing out the cake!  We ended up going up to the bar to order our coffees.  The little girl assisting the diner with coffee service laughed as she spilt my coffee serving it. Then walked off in her own little world completely ignoring my complaint.

AND of course, “only one bill per table”!  

Part of the dining out experience is the service and when it’s lacking and is accompanied by overpriced food it all adds up to a disappointing night out.

Mutton dressed as lamb!!
