Hi there, my name is Jason Grant — stylist, author and designer. I’m so lucky to call Byron Bay home, it’s a magical place filled with wonderful things to see and do, and of course there’s natural beauty everywhere. We’re fortunate that our community is filled with so many talented creatives, artists and businesses. So I’ve partnered with Brookie’s Gin to create this ultimate guide where I share a collection of my personal favourites. Might see you there. Enjoy! Jason. @mrjasongrant
BYRON GUIDE Eat Coffee, Brunch. If you’re like me and need some caffeine to start the day, fly into Sparrow for a coffee on the go (don’t forget to bring your re-usable cup), head into Combi for awesome smoothies and Fel’s Kitchen for pre- made yummy salads on the go. For local, fresh, nutritious and delicious food head to Barrio in the Arts and Industrial Estate or Folk, just around the corner in Sunrise. Byron General Store, Bay Grocer, Bayleaf and Top Shop are a hop, skip & a jump away for all your coffee, pastry, burger and smoothie needs. Out of town, a short drive away, I highly recommend the popular Doma café for awesome Japanese after a hike to the waterfalls or Harvest in the quaint hamlet of Newrybar. For vegan options, try @yullisbyronbay or @nobonesbyronbay (also open for dinner). Edition 1: Byron Guide
BYRON GUIDE Eat Drink, dine. We are spoilt for choice for great places to eat and drink! Enjoy a pizza after an ocean swim at Treehouse on Belongil. Light Years is my go-to for great atmosphere, modern Asian cuisine and epic cocktails. Super cute and a little slice of Greece Kouzina is a hidden gem! Rae’s is the perfect spot for late afternoon cocktails or dinner as the sun sets over Wategos. Step inside The Mez Club for Mediterranean vibes or watch the world go by while enjoying a cocktail and oysters at Loft or the iconic Balcony Bar. Sip natural wines with salty seaside snacks at Supernatural, a cute laneway bar. For Spanish style tapas head to St Elmo and for classic Italian cuisine head to di Vino. Book ahead for Fleet restaurant, for an unforgettable intimate fine dining experience. Edition 1: Byron Guide

BYRON GUIDE Experience Do Byron’s incredible weather and natural beauty means it’s the perfect place for an outdoor adventure like diving at Julian Rocks with Sundive , horse riding on the beach with Zephyr Horses and swimming or surfing at the Pass. Take 3 pieces of rubbish with you when you leave the beach #take3forthesea. Hike the iconic lighthouse trail at sunrise and then, why not hire a cool van from Retro Campers for a few days or have May the Ek take you for a hinterland adventure.
