I chose Urbane for a restaurant experience as I was looking for something a little edgy, a little different, and something taking advantage of the local produce. In Urbane I’d say that pretty much ticked the boxes. That’s not to say the food was extra special or unique – but it was well presented, .

Unfortunately I didn’t note down what we were actually eating! But there were things like foie gras, jellies, heaps of herbs/flower type garnishings, black squid ink, fresh veg, fresh seafood, ice cream with savoury dishes, crispy pork belly made an appearance (yay), a cheese sorbet with dessert … I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

If there was one thing that was disappointing at Urbane it was the service. It was fairly responsive at the start but really died away at the end … and it was a long wait between some of the courses. Sure give us time to enjoy it – but not too long!
