Rustic Char

Rustic Char puts a bold, modern spin on the classic Aussie chicken shop — where French Caribbean street food meets modern Australian cuisine in a vibrant, flavour-packed experience.

Inspired by the Creole flavours of Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean and paired with the exceptional produce of the Northern Rivers, Rustic Char is all about doing things properly. Everything is prepared fresh and from scratch, with no packet flavours and no shortcuts — just honest food done exceptionally well.

The menu stars juicy rotisserie, street-style chicken, alongside fresh, colourful salads, perfectly roasted vegetables and designer chicken burgers that punch well above their weight. Keep an eye on the specials board for crowd-pleasers like Colombo curry bowls and slow-cooked pulled chicken rolls.

With options for vegan diners, low-allergen needs and an almost entirely gluten-free menu, Rustic Char is a true crowd-pleaser — a one-stop shop for flavour seekers, families and food lovers looking for something a little different in the Northern Rivers.
