Best Banana Smoothie in town! Yummy lunch food, and a different world food night on each Wednesday evening. Get there early (around 6pm) to nab a seat, it always sells out.

Amazing tapas and wine. This has a really fun vibe this place - might be worth booking in advance, but definitely walk in as you'll likely be able to just sit at the bar with a cocktail awaiting a table whilst chatting to a really fun bartender

Essentials
IGA
15-23 Bienvenue DrThis is more expensive than some health food stores in the local area but has a great variety. If staying longer, google and head to the farmers market in Mullumbimby on a Friday morning, or New Brighton on Tuesday morning, to get your local veggies etc.

This is the best IGA around - it has some health food that other IGA's don't have. Definitely worth the trip to the industrial estate if you want to do a bigger shop. It's only 10 minutes from home.
