There is a complexity to achieving true simplicity in a restaurant setting. It is an art. At Urchin Restaurant it is a beautifully and precisely choreographed ballet in which sustainable fresh fish and seafood are the prima and danseur. The hallmarks of the Urchin elemental ocean dining experience are underpinned by excellent, unobtrusive service, locally sourced and produced ingredients, and world class wine from a carefully curated wine cellar.

Gerard Van Staden showcases his signature seafood-based cooking at Urchin, fuelled by a life-long obsession with the elemental flavours of the ocean. Inspired by travels up and down the nation’s coast, and drawing on influences from across Africa, Asia and Europe; Gerard and his team cook exciting, occasionally mischievous dishes rooted in classic techniques that pop with flavour.

    Slow and not enough kitchen staff. Not everything on the menu was available to order

    The food presentation and service was excellent, but the taste and value did not justify the price point.
