WORTH A DETOUR: Harvest Cafe in Newrybar. Picture: Adam Head Source: The Courier-Mail

HARVEST is the kind of cafe that makes you wish you lived in northern NSW.

Just 15 minutes from Byron Bay and five from the trendy township of Bangalow, Harvest is situated in a 100-year-old cottage next to the old bakery in the tiny village of Newrybar, which has about three shops.

The operators also own the 99-year-old bakery, which now acts as a function room for big parties and still smells of crusty bread and delicious preserves, while the new bar also has a boutique wine list, with more than 20 wines offered by the glass.

It’s a favourite with locals and visitors alike occasionally you’ll notice someone riding up on horseback to pick up something for lunch and combines a casual, laid-back atmosphere with a very superior menu that lures foodies from all over.

The food is locally sourced, wherever possible, mostly organic and all cooked on site, including the bread. So, for the tastiest, most nutritious food, you can’t go wrong.

The score:

Food: 16

Service: 16
Ambience: 17
Value for money: 16

About the score: 0-5 go somewhere else; 6-9 major change required; 10-13 reasonable, room for improvement; 14-16 good; 17-19 excellent; 20 the pinnacle. Read More »
