After an afternoon of canapés and cocktails with your nearest and dearest, the dining experience kicks off inside the restaurant (which also features magnificent views and an absolute air of romance with humble surrounds). Che, Head Chef and owner, along with his talented team, keep things simple with fresh. Organic produce is sourced predominantly from the restaurant’s own gardens along with the fields, paddocks and oceans that surround Byron Bay. The Fig Tree also offers on-site accommodation making it easy for you, your family or bridal party to get ready in or retire to.
