Bistro Livi
The Good Food Guide’s NSW 2024 Regional Restaurant of the Year offers the best beyond metro limits, a celebration of its surrounds with a strong connection to the local community.
Don’t miss the goat. Livi waits a year for its goats from nearby Rosebank (the Byron Bay hinterland) to grow big enough for a slow braise in mandarin juice with star anise, and the result is what the bistro is all about – simple, generous food that’s a lesson in harmony and balance.
In partnership with former MoVida head chef Ewen Crawford, sisters Nikky and Danni Wilson launched their humble Spanish-influenced restaurant with views to Murwillumbah’s main drag and bottle shop (not a fancy one) last year. Time your run right, and there might be fresh-picked spanner crab just in from Pottsville that morning, or tender ox tongue resting on green goddess sauce.
A beautiful little package with graceful service, thoughtful wine and a goat that really is the greatest of all time.
