Urbane - Brisbane

Find us on instagram: loveatfirstbite_aus Came here for a dinner with a large group of work colleagues while up in Brisbane for work. The food was phenomenal - the salmon was so delicate and melted in my mouth. Dessert was a deconstructed chocolate brownie with beetroot. While it sound unconventional, it was actually quite nice and added a nice twist to an otherwise classic brownie! instagram.com

My partner and i visited this restaurant for our anniversary. It is expensive but i strongly believe it's worth it.  The food is very tasty and unique. Each course is small but very healthy and you won't go back home hungry.   A big tick for the ambient. At the end while we were waiting for the bill we were surprised and treated to special drink and dessert which was so lovely. We will definitely go back to Urbane again!

We paid $230 for "valentines day set dinner and feel ABSOLUTELY ripped off.  Tiny Meals are low quality, pretending to be something fancy. One meal in particular was simply gross : spinach with rice and wait for it: "pea foam "!!! Pea foam that looks as gross as it tastes... soapy foamy consistency. Dessert didn't impress either, half an apple baked, seems like they were on some serious budget trying to make biggest margins. We felt utterly disappointed and unsatisfied. Staff was courteous and lovely. Music was horrendous - we just had to laugh it off.  Decor is just OK. Will never go back there again.

It's such a pleasure to discover a restaurant that does a vegetarian/vegan degustation. Can you imagine being a foodie, yet being served salad, after risotto, after pasta, after gnocchi ... on an endless rotation wherever you go? Urbane far surpasses that. Imagine how delighted I was from the moment the first dish arrived. Creativity. Flavours that just ... well work! Bread. Fresh out of the oven. Warm, soft and so comforting. Heirloom tomato. So fresh. A perfect balance of flavours on an intricately arranged dish. And so it went on. Urbane does creative, well presented dishes perfectly executed. Service was polite, professional and catered for our dietary requirements.  On par with any one starred Michelin restaurant I've been to in Europe. And well deserving of it's 3 chef hats.

After visiting Esquire the other night, Urbane definitely deserve their 3 hats. Urbane's outstanding food, wine pairing, service and ambience are far more deserving.
