About Granello Lounge

Iraqi flatbread with sweet potato and Korean prawn tapas sit alongside the Byron Bay brunch, and vegan options are included.

Customer Review Summary

Friendly service runs through most reviews, with diners describing welcoming staff who served quickly and accommodated requested changes. The food earns its own praise, led by the Korean prawn tapas, which one reviewer calls sensational. Close behind are the Iraqi flatbread with sweet potato, lamb koftas, burgers, Dan Dan noodles with fried chicken and cheesy toasties. A banana Biscoff loaf with a moist sponge and freshly squeezed orange juice also earn mentions. Vegan and gluten-free diners say they found plenty to choose from. Reviewers describe a relaxed, friendly room with a wonderfully mixed daytime crowd of families, elderly guests, dog owners and people working on laptops. The complaints are few and specific. One diner found the avocado brunch light on flavour and hard to cut, and another said a non-alcoholic cocktail was mostly ice. One gluten-free reviewer closes on a chicken burger with avocado that was beautifully presented and tasted great.

    “Granello Lounge is a great restaurant serving some really tasty food. We had the burgers and the lamb koftas, and both were super good. There’s also lots of variety on the menu, so there should be something for everyone. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has a relaxed feel to it. You can choose to sit either indoors or outdoors, which is a nice option depending on the weather. The staff and servers were all very kind throughout our visit, and the service was friendly from start to finish. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food, and the toilets were clean and tidy. Booking a table online was quick and easy as well. Overall, a really good restaurant with tasty food, friendly staff and good value for money. I’d definitely come back.”

    “Visited here for the first time on Wednesday 1st July 2026 late morning time. As soon as you entered, you had such a wonderful array of photographs and such a wonderful scenic interior. When ordering the two coffees that myself and my wife had, along with the cake we shared, the barista behind the counter was very friendly and served us quickly. As well as ordering at the counter you can also order by the app. I ordered just a standard latte, which was extremely tasty and had a lot of flavour. My wife ordered a standard latte with gingerbread syrup in. She throughly enjoyed it as well. To go with our coffees, we ordered a slice of banana Biscoff loaf. I’ll tell you now that was absolutely wonderful and the sponge was so moist and decadent. The surroundings as I said was scenic and have wonderful array photographs. They have tables and chairs here to sit down and have as it is classified as a restaurant. You can also sit down on a table and chairs, and I think in one area they have a sofa. Will definitely be coming back again.”

    “We had a wonderful lunch as a family here. I had the Dan Dan noodles with fried chicken while my wife took the avocado brunch and daughters had the cheesy toasties. Noodles and toasties were super tasty and would order again. My wife however was a bit disappointed with her avocado brunch as it didn’t have much flavor and was hard to cut.”
