Why it's worth checking out
Che Bon sits on Cherry Street in Ballina, on the coast just south of Byron Bay in the Northern Rivers. A well-regarded restaurant with a French influence, it's earned a strong reputation for its accomplished, flavour-packed cooking — a clear sign of a place delivering both genuinely good food and a great experience in a lovely coastal town.
The appeal is that combination of quality, French-inspired cooking, a considered drinks offering and a relaxed yet refined setting in a convenient Ballina location, ideal for a special dinner, a date or a relaxed night out. A quality restaurant with a French touch offers a genuine point of difference in the Northern Rivers, and Che Bon has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting the Ballina and Byron area in peak season.
