Seafood is what Yamba is most famous for, and there's no shortage of bistros and waterside cafes serving fresh-off-the-boat prawns or fish. Barbaresco is the most famous restaurant in town and serves steaks, seafood, and other Aussie specialities, all cooked to perfection. There are several casual dining options serving both fast food classics like pizza and burgers, or Asian fusion food, many of which have vegan or vegetarian options.
Round off your meal with a trip to the famous Yamba Icecreamery which makes and sells its own fresh Italian style gelato in dozens of flavours, with unusual options such as charcoal coconut and chocolate, or lime and thyme.
If you choose self-catering accommodation, check out Yamba's farmers' market every Wednesday morning, where you can pick up free range eggs, honey, farm produce, meats, and much more. Put together a tasty picnic, or get ingredients for a fresh meal prepared at home.
Eat Street Yamba takes place every September on Coldstream Street, which is closed off to allow street food vendors from across New South Wales to sell their international dishes.
