"Restaurant week special "

All in all a wonderful experience. Enjoyed interacting with the chef and immediate attention to an entre that was not as hot as expected. The plate was not just warmed but totally replaced anew

"Fantastic service and food "

It felt as though every member of staff took time to welcome us, see to our needs and make us feel special, even the chef came across too.
Delightful food, beautifully presented. Probably the best rump steak we've ever had.

What a lovely experience at Urchin. The food was really great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a bit of trouble with 2 of our meat dishes that were cooked incorrectly but this was quickly resolved without any fuss. We loved that the chef made an appearance and we could compliment him ourselves. The table setting was lovely and the music created a nice atmosphere. We were impressed with every dish and it was a welcoming surprise that the main was a meat dish seeing that the restaurant is more seafood cuisine based.

Keep up the great food and service. I will definitely be back!

"Delicious meal and wine pairing "
8.0 Cuisine 9 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 7

Urchin is tastefully decorated and set in the Hyatt Hotel in the CBD. The food was beautifully presented with good attention to detail! Good flavours paired great wine pairings, but wines are pricey !

About URCHIN

Cuisine: Fine Dining, Seafood

The culinary panorama in the Mother City has been elevated with the opening of Urchin Restaurant located at The Hyatt Regency, Cape Town on Buitengracht Street.

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 carefully curated wine cellar.

Like its namesake, Urchin’s menu showcases seafood in many delectable dishes which are as impressive on the palate as they are on the eyes. Chef Gerard van Staden’s menu ignites all five senses with a combination of flavours and textures all engineered to surprise and delight in every way. The complete Urchin journey means portions have been proportionately curated allowing for a multiple course adventure where the fruits of the ocean are the stars.
