Refined Elegance

Dorsia is more than a restaurant—it’s a new take on contemporary Australian dining.

Located in the heart of downtown Byron Bay, our intimate 32-seat space strikes the perfect balance between refined dining and laid-back coastal energy.

 

The open-plan dining room creates a seamless connection between kitchen and guest, allowing you to experience the creativity and passion that flows into every dish.

Meanwhile, our Chef’s Table is designed for those wishing to combine the best of Australian produce and personalised interactions with the chef.

 

It’s fine dining without the fuss – just genuine hospitality and exceptional food from a chef with a passion for refined elegance.

Dorsia is where contemporary Australian cuisine meets artistic expression. Each dish is a showcase of seasonality and modern technique crafted with intent and imagination, and plated with restraint.

At Dorsia, we don’t just cook – we compose. Every ingredient is chosen with intent, every dish is a thoughtful expression of balance, technique, and imagination. True art isn’t excess – it’s a mastery of restraint.

— Martyn Ridings, Chef Patron
