    Amazing setting with beach in the background, breezy and cool. We had the lunch set menu which we felt was very high quality and great value for the standard of food. Every single dish that came out was absolutely amazing. Drinks were also excellent. Recommend their Chilli margarita. Very pleased to have picked Shelter for a celebratory meal. Thanks

    When I browsed the restaurants at Byron Bay during my road trip, the star ratings is quite high, that was the reason why I chose this restaurant. Awesome, I made the right choice! The view was stunning, the ambience was comfortable, and we were welcomed with staff who always had a smiling. The food : appetizers were so good and delicious! Especially the oysters and tuna, but my hubby and son thought that the ginger on top of the oysters could be less in order not to cover the freshness of the oysters. The seasonings of the tuna were perfect! We all loved it. It is worth to go there when you go to Byron Bay to have nice view and good food!

    We enjoyed a lunch today (1/2/25) and the food was amazing, from the in-house baked sour dough, Lebanese cucumber & coconut labneh, heirloom tomato salad to the absolutely amazing golden snapper, coconut curry dish, i would highly recommend Shelter to anyone who appreciates great and healthy food...

    Gorgeous food and a location to die for. The perfect long lunch. Do not sleep on the vegetable dishes - they are just as amazing as the proteins.
