Who doesn’t love it when one space houses two separate eating experiences that are same same but different. This may sound mildly cryptic but stay with us because by “same same”, we mean both serve healthy eats to make your tummies and tastebuds sing in unison. And by “different”, we mean one is a new generation food store and eatery, and the other a gluten free/dairy free/coeliac friendly fish and chips market. Yes, we’re talking about the trailblazing Urban Eatery & Café and Urban Fish Market, located side-by-side in the heart of Broadbeach. This nutritionrich, environmentally conscious, and highly convenient power couple are changing up the GC food game one bite (or sip) at a time.
Let’s start with Urban Eatery & Café, which offers a healthy balance of sustainable, delicious, and freshly prepped eats and ingredients. Months of researching overseas eateries and the latest eating trends culminated in an exciting menu that is nourishing and packed with flavour. Everything Urban does aligns with their ‘unify, rejuvenate, balance, authentic and natural’ philosophy and yes, this is acronym sorcery at its finest. Encouraging us to embrace fresh, simple, and healthy ‘foodvenience’ to support our fast-paced lifestyles, we need no coercing coz this is srsly scratching an almighty itch.
Sit outside for people-watching gold, or park yourself inside to admire the natural fresh setting of deep basil green subway tiles, exposed timber beam ceiling weaved with green ceiling plants, and fitting green neon “live consciously” sign. Or maybe you’d rather pick up some takeaway meals, fresh cabinet eats, snacks, drinks and other essentials to enjoy at home. Whatever tosses your salad, the nosh and vibe are on point and these guys really deliver. Like literally – they actually deliver. Plus, the high quality food is fairly priced and packaged to be as minimally harmful to the environment as possible, and we’ll raise our glasses to that.
Enjoy an all-day breaky or lunch with wraps, burgers, salads and more. There are plenty
of gluten-free and vegan options, like the Signature Buckwheat Pancakes and Churros, or the Vegan Club Sandwich. Pair your feed with a premium Allpress coffee, or one of the famous house-made Vegan Smoothies. Our vote goes to the Urban Acai Smoothie with Acai berry soft serve, mixed berries and coconut water which is especially satisfying after a ‘b(l)ender’.
Flowing seamlessly into the equally popular Urban Fish Market, the collaborative and super friendly Urban team have another winner on their hands here. Boasting a menu which is completely gluten and dairy free, everyone can o-fishally enjoy their seafood safely. Like next door, Urban’s owners executed the in-house design along with builder Keith Hundle from Constructure, nailing a fresh, modern, and easy vibe to match their nosh. Dine inside on the gorgeous mosaic tables, take in the fresh air and sea breeze outside, or grab-and-go, perhaps over to the big blue coz LBH, fish and chips always taste better on the beach.
The Chef and his team tick all the right boxes with an epic fresh and cooked seafood menu. How about a Barra Burger or some grilled coral trout, cassava wedges, and a sweet potato scallop coz #MoreTatersLessHaters. We also recommend signature dishes like the Snapper Pie and Spicy Grilled Prawn Salad, and why not throw in some fresh Tasmanian oysters or a fresh bucket of Trawler Prawns for good measure. Ooh and bonus, you can pre-order Fresh Fish Market Platters for entertaining at home coz nothing says silly season in Oz like a dirty big helping of seafood. Only it’s clean of course, and there’ll be no mood-killing trips to A&E coz Uncle Joe smashed too many loaded eggnogs and forgot about his dairy allergy.
So if you have common food intolerances, or simply want to feel recharged, refuelled and refreshed after a meal, it’s all about Urban Eatery & Café and Urban Fish Market. Also accommodating up to 60 bods for functions, what’s not to love about these tried-and-true sistas all under the one roof. It’s one of those rare gems that will suit everybody, even your fussiest of friends.
