Bistro Livi’s Ewen Crawford and sisters Nikky (centre) and Danni Wilson.SuppliedDon’t miss the goat. Livi waits a year for its goats from nearby Rosebank (the Byron Bay hinterland) to grow big enough for a slow braise in mandarin juice with star anise,and the result is what the bistro is all about – simple,generous food that’s a lesson in harmony and balance.
In partnership with former MoVida head chef Ewen Crawford,sisters Nikky and Danni Wilson launched their humble Spanish-influenced restaurant with views to Murwillumbah’s main drag and bottle shop (not a fancy one) last year. Time your run right,and there might be fresh-picked spanner crab just in from Pottsville that morning,or tender ox tongue resting on green goddess sauce.
A beautiful little package with graceful service,thoughtful wine and a goat that really is the greatest of all time.
