The online booking option is useful for planning restaurant visits, while the takeaway service provides a more casual alternative.

Fishheads Restaurant & Takeaway Byron Bay is a fully licensed seafood restaurant at 1 Jonson St, beside Byron Bay’s beach front. The venue serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a takeaway service available alongside the restaurant. Its setting suits relaxed coastal dining, whether the occasion calls for a morning meal, a longer lunch, an evening booking or seafood to enjoy elsewhere.

The kitchen follows a local and seasonal approach, with an emphasis on sustainable produce from the Byron Shire community. The menu presents modern Australian seafood flavours in a straightforward style, allowing the ingredients to remain central. Seafood is designed to be shared, giving diners the option to order several dishes for the table rather than choosing only one main course.

A seafood platter option adds flexibility for groups who want to create a broader selection from the menu. This sharing focus makes the restaurant suitable for casual meals with friends, family occasions and group dining. Group menus are also available, while weddings, functions and other events form part of the venue’s offering.

The drinks selection complements the food with wine, cocktails, local beers and spirits from nearby distilleries. The fully licensed format makes Fishheads suitable for both daytime dining and evening meals, with the beach front location providing a coastal backdrop throughout the day. The format will also feel familiar to diners who enjoy waterfront venues around the Whitsundays.

For a more casual option, the takeaway service provides access to the venue’s seafood-focused offering without a restaurant booking. Fishheads combines restaurant dining, takeaway and event hosting in one Byron Bay location, with a menu shaped around local produce, seafood and shared eating. Online booking is available for restaurant visits, and direct contact is provided for functions, employment enquiries and other questions.
