Where the East Coast vibes meet Spanish soul.

Byron Bay’s laid-back charm has a new contender for the crown of ultimate chill: Gitana. This Spanish wine bar, nestled within the Nourishing Habitat precinct, offers a slice of the Iberian peninsula right on the fabulous East Coast.

Forget the usual hustle and bustle, soft lighting, thoughtfully curated art, and a muted colour palette create an ambience that is both inviting and intimate.

The heart of Gitana lies in its menu, a carefully curated selection of Spanish tapas designed to share after a day at the beach with your mates. The classic combination of Gildas, a perfect bite-sized trio of olive, anchovy, and pepper, arrives in the coastal town alongside the rich flavours of rillette baguettes. For a more substantial meal, the platters featuring an array of cured meats and artisanal cheeses offer a delightful feast.

Alongside the Spanish tapas, the wine list is a carefully curated selection of regional varieties., chosen to complement the menu’s flavours. From the crisp, refreshing whites of Rueda to the bold reds of Rioja, each glass tells a story of Spain’s rich winemaking heritage.

Beyond the food and wine, Gitana offers a vibrant social scene. Keep an eye out for special events, such as live music performances and themed nights, that bring the community together. The venue’s relaxed atmosphere encourages conversation and connection, making it the perfect place to unwind and soak up the laid-back Byron Bay vibe we’ve all come to know and love.

Setting itself up as a sanctuary of Spanish spirit in the heart of Byron Bay, Gitana is bringing this hipster haven a taste of Espana.
