These days there’s only a very short list of family-friendly venues where you can get a good meal for a reasonable price, have a drink and let the kids run around safely within sight of the dining table. That’s why The Sun Bistro, out in the A&I at the beach end of Bayshore Drive, Byron, is very popular with parents.
Not only does it have an undercover kids’ playground but a backyard of lush rolling lawn that even adults find hard to resist.
The menu is a pleasant surprise with some seriously sexy-sounding salads, a range of tapas share plates and $6 kids’ meals in this parent-friendly paradise. The usual burgers and mains are available, but if you’re looking for value for money then the highlights are the four pub favourites available for lunch and dinner, all week, for only $10.
Lately the kitchen has been busy preparing some winter-warming daily specials, such as Homemade Pumpkin Soup, Asian-Style Lamb Shanks and Tomato and Vanilla Beef Cheeks.
If you haven’t visited the bistro on the sunny side of Byron, grab your family and friends and ride off into The Sun!
