Cyprus Tree

Cyprus Tree is a family-style restaurant serving Cypriot-inspired Mediterranean cuisine on Bay Lane in Byron Bay. Its cooking draws on traditional recipes from Cyprus while adding a contemporary touch, with a focus on fresh Mediterranean flavours, olive oil, lemon, garlic, herbs and carefully balanced seasoning.

The menu covers a broad range of Mediterranean dining styles. Starters include breads, dips, grilled cheese and other sharing-friendly plates, while the salad section brings together Greek-style combinations, grilled seafood and vegetable-based dishes. Vegetarian diners are catered for with layered vegetables, stuffed produce, fritters and other meat-free options. Pasta and baked dishes provide heartier choices, and the mains include seafood, meat and Mediterranean-inspired preparations.

Seafood has a clear place on the menu, with options such as grilled prawns, scallops, octopus, calamari and Moreton Bay bugs appearing alongside seafood pasta and seafood platters. Sides include familiar Mediterranean accompaniments, making the menu suitable for meals built around several plates or a more traditional main-and-sides format. Gluten-free availability is offered for selected dishes.

The dining style centres on generous food, shared flavours and a welcoming family atmosphere. The venue suits relaxed lunches, dinners with friends and family meals where different tastes can be accommodated at the same table. The menu's mix of vegetarian, seafood, pasta and meat choices also gives groups room to order in different ways, from individual meals to a selection of plates for the table.

Drinks extend the Greek and Mediterranean character of the food. The list includes wines from Greece, alongside other wine styles, beer, cocktails, spirits and dessert options. Greek-origin wines add a regional focus that complements the Cypriot cooking.

With its emphasis on traditional Cypriot flavours, contemporary presentation and a family-oriented setting, Cyprus Tree offers a straightforward Mediterranean dining experience in a central Byron Bay laneway. It is a suitable choice for diners seeking Greek and Cypriot influences, vegetarian options, seafood and food designed to be enjoyed together.
