Barrio Neighbourhood Eatery

Barrio meaning “neighbourhood” in Spanish brings together the local community in a relaxed environment for all-day dining. Barrio takes its influence from the Argentinian wood-fired oven and charcoal grill. Francisco Smoje’s cooking is authentic without clinging to convention – working with traditions, but also bringing a new palate of flavour to Byron Bay. The menu is vibrant and bold yet familiar and comforting.

Enjoy slow cooked meat, char-grilled fish, whole veggies, salads, natural wines, local beers, cocktails and St Ali coffee.

Barrio closed in 2024. The Habitat eatery is now Commune Canteen.
