Fancisco's Table @ Barrio
2020-02-22 18:30 - 22:30
To celebrate that Barrio Eatery & Bar is now officially back open for dinner after the fire in December, Francisco Smoje is hosting a one-off Francisco’s Table event on Saturday 22 February at 6.30pm. In true Francisco’s Table style, guests will eat together on communal tables and enjoy a special creative menu with shared plates.

The renowned Francisco’s Table first began in 2008 as pop-up events, taking over spaces in an underground dining movement that was spreading across Sydney. In 2011, Francisco, his wife Emma, and their roaming restaurant moved to Byron Bay and quickly became an integral part of the food community. Francisco’s key philosophy is knowing the provenance of food. He spends time getting to know the local growers, producers and farmers – many of whom are now his friends.

“We wanted to do a special event to celebrate that we are finally back open with our usual trading hours. It’s been a tough few months but the community support has been amazing. Hope to see you all there for our neighbourhood gathering at Barrio.” – Francisco Smoje

Argentinian-born Smoje’s is famed for his authentic, vibrant and bold cooking that’s familiar and comforting; beautiful to look at, yet close to its original form.

Rejoice with Barrio Eatery & Bar as they re-open for nights, and enjoy the food, wine, culture and most importantly, the passion of the people.

From 22 February 2020, Barrio Eatery & Bar will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner six days a week (Mon-Sat 7am-9pm).

“While we are not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant ( we happily cater for both ) we are a restaurant that is 100% ethical and sustainable. We are also a team of people who believe that animals being used for gambling and sport is inhumane. Our personal moral code of ethics at Harvest is treating the animals we do serve with the upmost respect – this meaning that we only serve meat products that come from local, ethical, sustainable and organic farmers. We are also a member of the good fish project, one of few restaurants Australia wide with a 100% commitment to serving sustainable seafood only. We are doing our bit every way we can, but first and foremost we are being true to our teams beliefs. We are passionate about the planet, and believe it’s essential for us to step up where we can. We felt the Melbourne Cup as it stood no longer represented Harvest and her people – so we have collectively decided to use the day to raise money FOR horses.”

– Brooke Hudson, Co-Owner Harvest Newrybar
