I took my wife of 16 years on a first date. It was very nice. The menu was sufficient, and the food was tasty

"Urchin Restaurant Week"
9.3 Cuisine 9 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 9

We had the Restaurant Week set menu. The salmon entrée was undoubtedly the star dish, closely followed by the absolutely delicious raspberry mouse. On the logical assumption that this was a fish restaurant perhaps serving fish for mains would have been more appropriate, but the rib-eye was cooked well and perfectly enjoyable.

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.
