Urbane - Brisbane

Seeing that Urbane has been on the 'to-do ' list for awhile and that it will be unfortunately closing indefinitely, we made a reservation for a weekday dinner.We chose the 6-course degustation, which turned out to be a 2.5-hour delightful experience with many more courses due to amuse bouche, palate cleaners and additional complimentary treats. Each course appeared carefully designed which showcased culinary techniques and fresh produce. There were nil faults in preparation with good balance of flavours and textures.Service was friendly and efficient, although the pace appeared slow-ish overall. Smart casual ambience. Prices reflective of quality and fine dining.Overall, a wonderful fine dining experience and a Brisbane institution.

We decided to do the 7 course meal. I picked the vegan option and my friend had the carnivore version.<br/ <br/ The service and the food were amazing. Set menu of 5 or 7 courses. <br/ <br/ The food are sourced from the best local producers. They are fresh and of the highest quality. <br/ <br/ The carnivore option had dishes such as Abalone, Scampi and Wagyu Beef. All the courses were great. Out of the 7 courses there were no dishes that were below par. <br/ <br/ The vegan option are based on the best seasonal vegetables available. It had dishes such roots vegetables, Zucchini Flower and Dahl. The best one was the corn dish. The sauce in that dish should be bottle and sold. I would be happy to have that all the time. With pasta, on top of steak... The 2 vegan desert was ok, especially compared to the carnivore option. Green apple tonka and black rice pudding. <br/ <br/ At $155 each person for the 7 course, without wine, it is not a meal that you can do often. For the carnivore option the price were reasonable. I am not sure in regard to the vegan option. This was a question that my friend raised during the meal. <br/ <br/ Overall I would go back again, regardless of our opinion on the cost of the vegan option. <br/ <br/ Would definitely recommend Urbane.

Find us on instagram: loveatfirstbite_aus<br/ <br/ Came here for a dinner with a large group of work colleagues while up in Brisbane for work.<br/ <br/ The food was phenomenal the salmon was so delicate and melted in my mouth.<br/ <br/ 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!

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.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ Urbane does creative, well presented dishes perfectly executed. Service was polite, professional and catered for our dietary requirements. <br/ <br/ On par with any one starred Michelin restaurant I've been to in Europe. And well deserving of it's 3 chef hats.

We had the belly pork starter, beef as a main and fruit creme brûlée for desserts. Had wonderful wines cab sav and a delightful dessert wine. We had about 10 speeches as everyone wanted to thank the out going boss. Service was prompt and venue was centrally located near our accommodation at the Sofitel.
