Every mouthful is divine, thoroughly enjoyed by all at our table. This is the third time for my husband & I & took my husbands parent for lunch for their birthday & our son. They also comment how lovely the meal was. Great service to go with the meal. Thankyou will be back. Debbie & Stuart 

Business response:

We are utterly delighted to hear every mouthful was divine! Thank you for celebrating the birthday with us, Debbie. Cheers from the Kelp Team

Such and enjoyable experience. Service was impeccable and the staff were so welcoming. Food was tasty as can be. We had the Mortan Bay bugs and battered whitebait for entre and both were so good (especially the bugs). It was steak night so we went for the steaks and were not disappointed. They were cooked perfectly and so tender. Nigel, our host and barman made the best margaritas and made our experience extra enjoyable. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back again 🍸🍴🙏

Recently moved back to the area and was invited for a few drinks at Kelp! Great to see a venue like this. Food and drinks were amazing and the vibe was so warm just what I needed

We went for a “quick bite” for lunch the other day. We were not expecting Nigel upgrading our Lunch Blitz meal with the most delicious chilli caramel sauce! $35 got me the best fish cakes ever with a yummy Asian slaw (toasted coconut and nam Jim dressing, I believe) plus a complimentary cold pressed juice! What a deal. I also had to order a margarita to balance the healthy choices with a cheeky bevvy😉 Nigel is just too good a bartender. Timmy (chef and owner) with his creative menu is another story altogether! My boyfrien... read more

Out of towners, we chose Kelp to meet for my mother's 90th Birthday Celebration lunch. What a gem! Absolutely could not fault the exquisite food, service (lovely people) and venue. You made her day! Ours too. 💗 Thank you so much. 🎉😍

Wow! After eating and sipping my way through Queensland, I did not expect to find one of the best fine dining experiences in the cute NSW town of Ballina! Kelp Restaurant is equal to the fanciest of Brisbane’s foodie hot spots, but with a stunning view over the river from your table. Sitting on the plush seats beside a framed (and very sexy) George Constanza, I enjoyed THE BEST arancini and lemony-capery-fish-linguine with all the Michelin Star touches you could hope for. Bravo! If I wasn’t hitting the road, I would have... read more
