Christmas at the Fig Tree

Perched atop the first hill overlooking Byron Bay, Fig Tree Restaurant’s sweeping ocean views, manicured Mediterranean gardens and relaxed Byron style have made it an iconic destination to dine, celebrate and be wed.

For the past 40 years, their award-winning team have had the pleasure of cooking and serving within this community, not only at their fine dining restaurant, but for countless events across the Byron Bay region when they have taken Fig Tree Restaurant ‘on location’.

Their carefully crafted menus are drawn from a passion for travel and respect for tradition and the slow food movement, and a focus on flavour, creativity and selection. Their chefs and gardeners work together to use ingredients that are hand-picked from Fig Tree’s thriving vegetable garden and citrus orchard. Everything else? What they can’t grow, they source locally from this region’s fine artisans, fishmongers, butchers and producers from neighbouring farms.

If you are planning an event this Christmas season, the Fig Tree take your fun seriously! Work with their incredible team of planners, stylists, and chefs to create a bespoke event and discover just how easy and enjoyable planning your Christmas event can be this festive season! You can expect a diverse array of cuisines matched with next level service – exquisitely executed with the homegrown and thoughtful ‘Fig Tree’ touch!

You can be sure that your guests will leave raving about the food as, according to the Fig Tree team, ‘We believe the food at your special occasion should be the true highlight of your celebration. We relish in your guests gathering around the table sharing stories, laughter and creating fond memories, while enjoying our thoughtfully created dishes which have purposely been designed to share’.

And of course the Fig Tree Restaurant also offers a truly unique and beautiful backdrop to make your occasion unforgettable. Imagine your event unfolding within lush gardens, or an idyllic olive grove, with cocktails under the grapevine, and jasmine blooming in the warm breeze.

Transition into their dining room as the afternoon unfolds for a decadent, multi-course dining experience, all while savouring the breathtaking views.

Contact the team on 02 6684 7273 or email their events team at [email protected] to book your Christmas celebration with Fig Tree.
