fig tree story
It all started with a simple dream back in 1979: to convert the original Fig Tree farmhouse into a restaurant, to cook from the land & seas that surround Byron, and to raise a family. Throughout the years, over the decades & through the generations, we have continued this vision.
Now in our 5th decade, the Fig Tree has evolved into an iconic place to dine, where first dates, family celebrations, birthdays & weddings are celebrated and memories are created. Our Fig Tree family continues to grow & evolve but we still continue to honour its legacy & founding vision.
We look forward to welcoming you to your table.
