A favourite for lunch in Byron

My wife and I eat lunch at Manna regularly and we are never disappointed. We share the 3 portion plate and have a delicious desert. We walk away happy every time.

Pros: Tasty food and salads and hot drinks, Amazing deserts, nice folks

Cons: outdoor furniture a bit rickety

Went to Manna four days in a row while in Byron! Incredible food and kind staff!

The food at Manna Haven was absolutely incredible— so good that we went there for lunch everyday for the four days that we were in Byron Bay. The food is spiced amazingly, and the options changed daily— always with delicious hot savory dishes and salads— many of which are vegan and gluten free. We also took a dessert for take away everyday, and they were beautiful, delicious and gluten free and vegan too! My partner, who is not gf or vegan, said that if he could learn to cook the food from Manna Haven, then he could easily be vegan/gf! Our meals at Manna Haven were warm, very filling, cooked with love, affordable, and we are so grateful we discovered Manna Haven our first day in Byron.

Pros: Incredibly tasty, warm, and healthy vegan+gf food, loving staff and beautiful cafe setting, delicious, beautiful + affordable vegan desserts

Great quality for a good price

Daily changing choice of salads and some warm dishes. Had a raw broccoli 🥦 salad with a Mexican bean casserole. That day there was also the great lasagne and a green curry. Also the best turmeric latte here!!!

Awesome food

We went here 3 times during our week in Byron Bay. Lovely service and generous servings.
Lasagna is THE BEST, closely followed by the potato salad - making me hungry just thinking about it.
Recommend the cakes (salted caramel cheesecake is the winner for me)
Lovely, lovely service - so welcoming and generous. Please do the right thing by yourself and go along to Manna

The best vegan lasagna ever

All vegan. Very reasonable prices and fantastic food. The lasagna was incredible and the chocolate mousse also brilliant. Apparently they do give out all their recipes apart from these two items! A lovely lunch and would highly recommend.

Great tasting & wholesome

My only meal on a quick trip through Byron & glad I chose this place. Loved the lasagne, curry and potato skins, wish there was something without garlic for my partner other than dessert but otherwise full marks.

Pros: Full vegan, tasty good value.

Our vote for best in Byron

This was the highlight meal of our stay in Byron. Light and airy space with a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
The staff were so lovely and the food amazing - tasty, fresh and good variety.
There is a choice of a medium plate ($13) or large plate ($16) and the value for money was exceptional.
Lots of different drinks and some luscious desserts.
Everything is plant based - even my husband who is not completely plant based loved it and wants to go back.

Pros: Sensational food, Lovely staff, Calm and clear atmosphere

Mostly vegan

Almost all vegan with lovely atmosphere due to new refurbishment. Mostly fresh air, undercover verandah dining which really suits the Byron vibe. Delicious hot and cold meal options served from bain maries and a display cabinet so, quick to serve. I especially enjoy their tapioca pudding dessert. Reasonably priced. At times, you might be lucky enough to be able to also listen to live acoustic music.

Pros: Relaxed atmosphere., Friendly staff., Good, not overwhelming range of food choices.

Cons: Opening hours limited to lunch.

lovely venue and staff

The venue is clean and has a nice open, airy and green feel to it, with outdoor seating and some gardens set back from the road.
The staff were lovely and helpful.
The food is served by the plate, small or large portion (small = 2 choices from the servery, large = 3 choices). Well priced, but the food was a tad bland.

Pros: lovely staff

Cons: food was a little bland

Nice and relaxed place

We went under our friends' suggestion. It's a nice place, the waitress and chef were super nice, very friendly and polite. We tried 3 salads (all very tasteful) and 2 hot dishes (very good as well). We also had the chocolate and caramel slice, delicious!

Pros: Good food, Nice place and staff, Prices are ok

Gone Downhill

We used to enjoy their burger,but the last visit 2 weeks ago was highly disappointing!The gluten free bun was burnt and the patty size halved.The server appeared disinterested and the food took ages to arrive.Come on and lift your game back to your previously high standard.

Cons: small portions, high cost, disinterested staff
