Fishheads Restaurant & Takeaway Byron Bay

Fishheads Restaurant & Takeaway is a fully licensed beachfront venue at 1 Jonson St, combining a restaurant with a takeaway service. The setting brings a coastal focus to breakfast, lunch and dinner, with views towards the beach and a relaxed dining style suited to casual meals, shared plates and longer occasions.

The menu centres on modern Australian seafood, with an emphasis on local, sustainable and seasonal produce. Fish and shellfish are given a straightforward treatment that lets the ingredients lead, while local produce, regional drinks and contemporary cooking shape the broader offering. Wine, cocktails, local beers and non-alcoholic choices complement the food, creating an easy match for a morning meal, daytime seafood stop or evening dinner.

Sharing is an important part of the dining format. The menu allows groups to order several dishes across the table, while a build-your-own seafood platter option gives diners a way to create a selection around their preferences. The approach works for smaller meals as well as group occasions, without making the experience feel formal.

The takeaway service provides a more flexible way to enjoy the venue’s seafood and other menu items. It suits a quick meal, a beachside picnic or a relaxed option when a full restaurant booking does not fit the day. The restaurant also caters for functions and weddings, with a group menu available for larger gatherings.

Fishheads has a clear connection to the surrounding community through its focus on local suppliers, regional breweries and distilleries, and seasonal ingredients. That local emphasis sits alongside a practical, accessible atmosphere rather than a highly formal one. The beachfront position, seafood-led menu and choice between table service and takeaway make the venue suitable for visitors seeking a coastal dining setting, seafood shared among friends, or a straightforward meal by the water.
