This restaurant’s concept is based on the Hawaiian staple, the poké (pronounced poh-kay) bowl, means “diced” and involves cubed raw fish with vegetables and rice with a variety of dressings and flavour options. The concept gained ground in the US in California, and now restauranteur Charles Olalia and LA chef Jen Jacinto are bringing this idea to Byron Bay where they feel the people will embrace this raw, healthy food addition to the Byron Bay restaurant options. Located at 8 Fletcher Street, Finn Poké also is the first Byron Bay restaurant to carry nitro and cold brew coffee on tap.
