Bistro Livi has brought a touch of Melbourne minimalism to Murwillumbah since 2022, thanks to hospitality veterans (and twin sisters) Danni and Nikky Wilson, together with ex-MoVida chef Ewen Crawford.

It’s a real treat having this kind of city-style polish just a short drive away in our neighbouring small town and we love recommending it to guests looking for a special night out.

Set in the M|Arts Precinct, the bistro’s interiors give a nod to the town’s charming Art Deco architecture. Designed by Flack Studio, the space features textured rendered walls, deep green leather seating and flattering low lighting.

The Spanish-influenced, seasonal share-plate menu is crafted using fresh, local Northern Rivers produce and paired with a thoughtfully curated wine list. The result is refined yet relaxed dining and a true standout in the region.

Whether you’re planning a long lunch or a delicious dinner, Bistro Livi makes for a memorable addition to your itinerary during a stay at Origin House.


Our go-to dish: Moreton Bay Bug in curry butter
Opening hours: Wednesday to Friday from 5:30pm; Saturday from 10am
Distance from Origin House: 30-minute drive
Event hire: Bistro Livi is also available for private events — perfect if you have something to celebrate while you’re here.
