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.

    Online menu did not match what was presented to us on the night.. no sushi no crayfish on main course which was replaced by what should have been langoustines looked more like average prawns asked for medium steak and a well cooked tough piece arrived... needless to say the replacement steak was fatty and as tough.. and then to find out no chocolate torte for dessert.. A very disappointed evening..

    Website and actual venue not aligned. No tasting menu or wine menu. Off you wine with no menu and them charge way over the normal double or triple up price. The starters were good but from there it went downhill. Venue looks great but something missing in the ambience. Waiter was good but that's about it. It's a bit of hit and miss.
