Local tip
A shaded verandah table suits diners wanting an outdoor setting while keeping the rainforest views in focus.

Forest is a restaurant at Crystalbrook Byron, set across 45 acres of rainforest on Broken Head Road, just outside Byron Bay. The venue places the surrounding landscape at the centre of the dining experience, with rainforest views providing a consistent backdrop for meals.

The cuisine is shaped by local produce and the flavours of the region. Forest focuses on ingredients sourced from nearby areas, with dishes designed to reflect the character of the Northern Rivers. The approach connects the food with the setting, creating a dining style that feels closely tied to the surrounding landscape rather than separate from it.

Inside, the restaurant offers a tranquil atmosphere with views across the rainforest from every table. The setting is immersive without feeling formal, making Forest suitable for diners seeking a relaxed meal in a nature-led environment. The design allows the natural surroundings to remain part of the experience throughout the meal, whether the focus is on a quiet occasion or a longer gathering.

Forest also includes a shaded verandah, extending the dining area into the rainforest setting. The outdoor space provides an alternative to indoor seating while retaining the views that define the venue. The combination of local ingredients, regional flavours and a rainforest outlook gives the restaurant a clear sense of place.

Located at 77-97 Broken Head Road, Forest forms part of Crystalbrook Byron and offers a destination dining option beyond the town centre. The venue suits visitors looking for a calm restaurant experience, diners interested in locally sourced food and groups planning a meal surrounded by greenery. Table reservations are available, and practical requirements such as dietary needs or seating preferences can be raised when arranging a booking.
