“All we’ve ever wanted is to cook with good mates, enjoy nature and put a smile on people’s faces.”
About
Get to Know Us
Three Blue Ducks is a story of food born in the surf. It began with three good mates travelling the world, sharing meals, swapping ideas and shaping a belief in a better, more sustainable way of eating and living.
From the outset, the idea was simple: cook honest food, work closely with good people, and create places that feel welcoming, relaxed and connected to their surroundings.
What started as a small group of mates with a beachside cafe in Bronte, has grown into a collection of venues across Australia. With restaurants in Byron, Bellingen, Rosebery, Nimbo, Melbourne, and soon-to-be Burradoo, each venue is shaped by its local community, landscape and produce.
From regenerative farming and thoughtful sourcing to menus designed to be shared, our focus remains the same - good food, done properly, in spaces where people genuinely want to be.

About
Our Values
At Three Blue Ducks, everything we do is guided by a simple set of values.
We believe in honest food, genuine connection and doing things properly. We’re environmentally driven, prioritising thoughtful sourcing, seasonal cooking and long-term care for the communities and landscapes we’re part of.
We take a low-fuss approach, but hold ourselves to consistently high standards, from the food on the plate to the way people feel when they walk through the door.
We value real relationships, with our team, our suppliers and our guests, and we aim to create spaces that feel welcoming, relaxed and unpretentious.
Our vision is to lead by example, showing that quality food, environmental mindfulness and genuine hospitality can sit comfortably together, and inspire a better way of living.

About
SUSTAINABILITY
For over 15 years, we've taken a considered, ethical approach to food, starting with the ingredients we choose and extending through to how we design our kitchens, manage waste and support the communities we're part of.
Across all venues, we prioritise locally sourced, ethically farmed produce and cook seaonally, using whole animals and repurposing offcuts to minimise waste. Since 2022, we've composted close to 49 tonnes of organic waste, returning nutrients to the soil and helping close the loop.
From milk taps and wine on tap to water-saving systems and reduced single-use plastics, we continue to invest in smarter, more responsible practices. You'll even see waste reimagined, from spent coffee grounds turned into soap, to Camphor Laurel repurposed into chopping boards.
Every Ducks venue reflects a commitment to doing better, for the planet, our people and our guests. Good food, done properly, with purpose.
Our Friends
Partners & Producers
At Three Blue Ducks, we’re intentional about the people we work with. We partner with growers, suppliers and makers who care about quality, ethics and impact. Choosing the right ingredient is rarely black and white, with factors like food miles, farming practices, animal welfare and sustainability all considered. We take the time to weigh these decisions carefully, aiming to make the most thoughtful choice we can. Working closely with people who share our values, we believe small, conscious decisions can add up to something meaningful, on the plate and beyond.
