Restaurant Dorsia

Restaurant Dorsia is a contemporary Australian dining destination in the heart of Byron Bay, offering refined cuisine in an intimate, relaxed coastal setting. Its 32-seat, open-plan dining room creates a close connection between guests and the kitchen, where chef patron Martyn Ridings and his team prepare dishes inspired by seasonal Australian produce, modern technique and thoughtful presentation. Dorsia describes its approach as a balance of creativity and restraint, pairing elegant food with genuine hospitality rather than formality.

Guests can choose a two- or three-course menu, or enjoy a tasting menu with paired beverages. The chef’s table offers a more personalised experience, with opportunities to interact with the chef and explore the food in greater depth. Chefs and the sommelier guide diners through each course, making the experience both approachable and adventurous. Located at 109 Jonson Street, Dorsia is open Wednesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. until midnight. The restaurant also offers gift vouchers and accepts reservations, giving guests ways to plan a visit or share the experience.
