Currently travelling around Australia, Lela’s Yamba is in residence for 18 months. Karrikin will be returning in 2027.

Karrikin is the compound that brings the best of the region’s local catch, seasonal produce, and foraged delicacies together with a truly artistic and courageous interweaving of style and substance, resulting in a native cuisine experience unlike any other. Seeking a deeper connection to their ancient land and to one another through the culinary journey, Karrikin is who they are; an ethos born in the beauty and fire of new beginnings.

Born in the beauty and fire of new beginnings, Karrikin restaurant on Coldstream Street in Yamba offers an ever-changing four-course set menu, crafted from local, seasonal produce and foraged delicacies. Named for the proteins that bind to soil and renew life in the aftermath of smoke and bushfire, this elegant space blends a cool colour palette with dark wood, artwork, and softly glowing pendants to set the scene for inspired dining.
