Byron Bay Canteen

Byron Bay Canteen sits in the Habitat precinct on Butler Street, just north of the town centre. The pull for dog owners is the large landscaped courtyard, a relaxed, garden-filled space where dogs are welcome and there is room to spread out.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard seating, on lead at all times. Inside is for service dogs only. Water bowls are usually available in the courtyard, and the casual, leafy setup suits a longer, calmer sit than a tight footpath table in town.

Good to know. It is known for fresh, locally sourced produce, good coffee and a breakfast and lunch menu, with a community hangout feel rather than a quick-stop vibe. The precinct around it has independent shops, so it works as a lingering morning.

Getting there. The address is 1B Butler St, in the Habitat complex. Parking in the precinct is generally easier than the crowded town centre, and it is a flat, short walk in from town.

Nearby with the dogs. The landscaped Habitat grounds and the nearby Butler Street Reserve are both handy for a walk, and the dog beach exercise areas are a short drive or moderate walk away.

Come for a relaxed weekday brunch when the courtyard is calmest, and use the precinct parking to skip the CBD scramble.
