Local tip
Reserve ahead for group gatherings and ask about using The Souk for cocktails before or after dinner.

The Mez Club is a Mediterranean restaurant and bar on Jonson Street in Byron Bay, with a menu shaped by the food traditions of Morocco, southern France, Italy and Spain. Its approach brings together North African spice, French richness, Italian freshness and coastal Spanish flavours in a setting designed for social dining.

The menu is suited to different styles of visit, from shared grazing to a more complete meal. That flexibility makes the venue relevant for casual catch-ups, relaxed dinners and occasions where a table wants to order across the menu. The food direction remains Mediterranean while drawing on several regional influences rather than focusing on a single national cuisine.

The Mez Club’s interior styling takes cues from Moroccan architecture and the Greek Islands. Those influences give the venue a defined visual identity, while the overall atmosphere is intended as a welcoming meeting place for both Byron Bay locals and visitors. The setting combines dining with a social, easygoing feel, making it a natural option for groups as well as smaller tables.

An upstairs area known as The Souk provides a separate setting for cocktails before or after dinner and is available for parties and group bookings. This adds a practical option for celebrations, gatherings and social occasions that need more than a standard restaurant meal. The main venue supports both grazing and dining, while The Souk places more emphasis on drinks and group use.

The Mez Club offers a Mediterranean dining option for visitors exploring Byron Bay, including travellers arriving from the Whitsundays. Its combination of regionally influenced food, Moroccan and Greek Island styling, flexible dining and group-friendly spaces suits diners seeking a social restaurant experience rather than a narrowly defined regional menu.
