Paper Daisy Restaurant
and Bar
Paper Daisy is one of Australia’s great coastal dining destinations — award-winning, hatted, and now led by Executive Chef Baxter Newstead.
Trained at Noma Australia, Vue de Monde and Michelin-starred Ekstedt in Stockholm, Baxter brings rare international depth to a restaurant rooted entirely in the Northern Rivers. His menus follow the seasons — shaped by the extraordinary region, and handled with precision.
Come for lunch. Stay for dinner. Make a weekend of it.
