Byron Bay Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant

You’ll find this bistro in the handsome Marvel Hotel on (you got it) Marvel street, a handful of blocks from main beach. Oysters are a big deal here – you can have them however you like, including straight up, Kilpatrick, with a miso butter or martini style (which comes with olive brine, guindillas and vermouth).

There’s oyster happy hours, events in the leafy courtyard like unlimited oysters with bottomless prosecco and live music, and a takeaway service so you can eat your freshly shucked beauties on the beach. There’s plenty of other things too, like house made tagliatelle with crab, an impressive seafood tower or rib-eye.
