About us

The Lighthouse Bistro

Welcome!

Joni and Erica run this lovely family seaside Bistro which is a stones throw from the iconic Blackhead Coastal Path and just beside the stunning coloured Victorian seafront houses of Whitehead! 


Sourcing the best local produce, Joni creates beautiful A La Carte and Bistro to Go dishes. And with Erica and her team out the front, you can expect great hospitality! Everything is made from scratch onsite, including their own delicious pasta and breads.


Since opening they have won several awards and their recipes have featured in various local newspapers and taken part in live cooking demonstrations along the famous Causeway Coastal Route. 


Please read through our Sit In Dining guidelines and follow us on Facebook to keep up to date.
