It is a vaguely irreverent, urban hub that serves quality coffee, delicious toasties, homemade spanikopita and now serves a little selection of alcoholic beverages perfect for Friday evening wallowing.

There's a palpable sense of game-lifting at Esquire. The sophisticated, Scandi-chic room and the poised, personable service team both seem to have been buffed and polished as though to set the stage for chef Ryan Squires' exciting, often brilliant food. The wine list, a smartly curated, wide-ranging collection that includes excellent sake, is similarly engineered to this time and place. Dégustation-only menus start with a flurry of one-bite dishes: boar lomo, buffalo crisps, sculptural fried leeks dabbed with miso, and lamb tongue pastrami skewered on lemon twigs. Then it's on to meticulously created portions, such as blue mackerel crudo served with tiny warm mukago potato balls, and pork tail sporting a darkly glistening beer and malt glaze. A dessert of chamomile granita and lemon curd sprinkled with honey and lemon sherbet is a fitting finish. This is gorgeous stuff, precisely and confidently executed.

I was first introduced to Urbane by a friend who knew the owner (who she introduce me to). Several months later I returned because was so impressed with meal, and what was more impressive was that he remembered by name, and what I drank and struck up a conversation that made me feel like we were old mates. That was over 10 years ago, and the place is still going strong.
From the first shot of house-brewed kombucha to the doll-sized native fruit infusion that bookends your meal, this is an experience to savour. A volley of snacks - mussel with kimchi oil, or tofu in ponzu, say, and a hunk of macadamia sourdough - raises expectations, and the gallery-like room with its almost Japanese aesthetic is a meditative space in which to relish the artistry that follows. Nutty buckwheat, charred cucumber and coconut prove an inspired pairing for scallops, fresh cucumber and apple. Likewise, a zesty squid-ink sauce, laced with lime and jewels of finger lime, draws together the umami of charry octopus tentacle and earthy artichoke purée. Opting for wine pairings is advisable, and knowledgeable floor staff can oblige with half-pours. Desserts are similarly ambitious with zesty pomelo adding bite to an ethereal freeze-dried mandarin parfait with rooftop honeycomb. Bravura stuff.

They're smokin' in Ben Williamson's open kitchen: smoked curd adding a little mystery to roasted quail stuffed with date, rose and figs; smoked almonds in a stand-out dish of fried spicy cauliflower spiked with currant grapes; smoked potatoes and eggplant; burnt onions, butter and bread in several other richly flavoured shared plates on the modern Levantine menu. Most are bold enough to stand alone; however, the marriage of pickled carrot and lamb tagine with an Iranian "jewelled rice" pilaf studded with saffron, sour cherry, pomegranate and nuts should be celebrated. Finish with more spice and sweetness - maybe spiced date cream or smashed chocolate, Turkish delight and pistachio curd. The confidence in the kitchen is matched on the floor, in the well-priced globetrotting wine list and in the geometric fit-out combining white brick, mosaic tiles, wooden planks and mid-century furniture. Smokin'.
