Why it's worth checking out
Ember sits on Jonson Street in the heart of Byron Bay, the famously relaxed coastal town in the Northern Rivers. A much-loved restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, flavour-packed cooking — the kind of accomplished, characterful spot that's become a genuine favourite for a quality meal in a great central-Byron location.
The appeal is that combination of skilled cooking, a good drinks offering and a relaxed yet stylish setting in the heart of Byron, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed evening or a night out. Byron's easygoing-yet-discerning mood pairs perfectly with a quality restaurant, and Ember has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular central-Byron 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 Byron in peak season.
