Just one of the meals of offer this Sunday for that special Father.

With the warmer weather starting, it’s better than ever to eat at Three Blue Ducks, located at the entrance to Byron and set on an 80-acre working farm with a macadamia orchard. The open setting and pastoral views combine with the locally-sourced and house-made produce to allow the good vibes to flow – whether you’re a local or a visitor, it’s a great place to pretend you’re on a holiday from the everyday while enjoying ethical, organic and delicious food!

Although you don’t need an excuse to enjoy yourself, with Father’s Day fast approaching this Sunday, Three Blue Ducks is a place to combine both a memorable meal on this special occasion with dad, and an enjoyable activity with the children in Byron.

On Sunday, 7 September, dads can start the day with a breakfast special of pulled pork, charred pineapple salsa, fried egg and crispy flatbread. Lunch highlights include sea-fed scotch fillet; Australian Bay lobster with garlic sauce and frites; 600gm rib-eye on the bone; Australian Bay lobster and garlic sauce; and coal-roasted whole market fish with Ducks’ curry paste, bean shoots and coriander. Their signature Sunday roast will also be on offer during the evening, as well as live music from 1pm and happy hour from 3pm to 5pm.
