New menu
Hand-roasted
Alt Coffee by Bastion Lane Espresso is roasted exclusively for use with milk alternatives like soy, almond, oat, macadamia and coconut. Deep, rich and chocolatey, its smooth acidity means none of the usual ‘splitting’ that non-dairy milks can cause. Ethically sourced from high-altitude Arabica coffee beans in Peru, the coffee is hand-roasted by founder Gary Wall in small batches in the Roast Office, which is located in the 1909 heritage-listed Uki Post Office in Northern NSW.

Crystalbrook Byron continues its sustainable and ever-evolving culinary journey with two new chef appointments and exciting menu developments. Jordan Staniford joins the resort as Executive Chef and Clement Fouquere as Executive Sous Chef. Jordan’s new menus will highlight seasonal produce, ranging from light bites to more substantial dishes. “Our food is designed to be social and approachable, uncomplicated and super tasty using the absolute best produce we can get our hands on,” says Jordan. “The flavours are fresh and playful – we try not to take ourselves too seriously.” Open to both resort and outside guests, Crystalbrook Byron’s main restaurant, Forest, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner while the breezy, shaded Verandah bar offers laidback dining and is a favourite among locals.
