Mullumbimby

Milk and Honey serves delicious, gourmet wood-fired pizzas and Mediterranean dishes, with an emphasis on simple Italian flavours. Try the caramelised pumpkin pizza with pesto and ricotta, and a pear and walnut salad on the side. There’s also a range of pastas for those who prefer this other Italian staple. The atmosphere is relaxed, while the decor features masses of tie-dye and crushed velvet for retro-style dining. Because the food is so good, the restaurant is very popular with locals in this usually quiet town, so it can often be quite full, but there is seating inside and out.

Poinciana Cafe is a rising star in Mullumbimby, created by the people who brought Australia the East Coast Blues and Roots Music Festival. Funky and relaxed, the cocktail bar swings into action on the weekends and transforms this laid-back cafe into a happening night-time eatery. The food focuses on fresh local produce and the menu presents dishes from around the world. This place is lots of fun.
