Things have changed on the gourmet front in Yamba – the boho beach baby has grown up and so have her bars & restaurants. The ritual of the early morning coffee post-surf is a right of passage in Yamba and there are plenty of spots to choose from for your morning fix. When the sun goes down take your pick of cool bars and eateries from the Iconic Pacific Hotel, classic burger joints and old school cool Italian restaurants, there are so many great places to eat & drink.
A few of our favourites
The Kiosk Yamba
Down by the Main Beach there is a little slice of coffee heaven. Relaxed and barefoot enjoy your post swim morning coffee with a pressed juice or acai bowl. Mornings stretch into lunch for fish tacos and chilli fries.
Paradiso Restaurant and Bar
Hip, boho beach vibes abound at Paradiso with a killer cocktail list and seasonal fusion menu Paradiso is one of the coolest place on the block.
Italian on the Hill
The Italian on the Hill never fails to deliver. With a classic Italian menu of pizzas and pastas and traditional northern Italian specialties and local seafood this place is a great dining choice. Be sure to check out their extensive wine cellar.
Summis
Espresso, surf & retail at Summi's. What's not to love? Great coffee and soul nourishing food, a selection of locally designed surfboards and some great fashion brands.
Pacific Hotel
Yamba's iconic Pacific Hotel perches on the cliffs above Main Beach with exceptional views of the surfers below. The place to come for a sundowner and bistro fare. Check out their What's on pages for live music.
Cafe Angourie
Just above Spookies Beach is Cafe Angourie - a local institution serving breakfast and lunch in their eclectic gallery style cafe. Grab a table out the front and watch the world go by.
Barbaresco
La Dolce Vita is served in abundance at Barbaresco, Angourie's coolest evening eatery. Classic cocktails and Italian recipes which highlight the locally sourced ingredients are the key to Barbaresco's success. We love this place.
BgrSpot
You can't beat BRGspot for great burgers and fries all served with cool DJ played tunes. Easy and relaxed this is a great place for a casual dinner.
The Mexican
Just what you want from your local Mexican restaurant .. lots of nachos, giant Margaritas and plenty of spicy fajitas.
