Moonlight
A new arrival to the Byron Bay food scene, this Japanese restaurant is unique with its all-black interiors and low lighting. The menu is Japanese fusion, focused on fresh local produce cooked on the hibachi grill. Here you can sample miso-glazed salmon, king prawn with yuzu kosho (chili paste) butter, or Wagyu beef served with yakiniku, a soy-based dipping sauce. There's also a nine-course tasting menu costing A$100 per person, with matching wine at A$35. This is fine dining with a wine bar feel, and the drinks list with carefully crafted cocktails is extensive.
