Recently opened in May this year, Urban Provedore is a stylish new cafe conveniently located near South Yarra station. Head Chef, Andy Ledson has combined his culinary skills and his love for regional produce to create delicious seasonal menus for us to enjoy.
Ledson's goal is simple; to ensure us city folk don't miss out on the joys of gorgeous regional produce.
The interior is spacious with lots of natural light and light wood furnishings.
The walls are lined with shelves and shelves of regional Victorian products, which are also available for purchase.
For breakfast, I ordered Ham hock fritters, potato hash, creamed corn, braised red cabbage, black crumb pudding with the addition of poached eggs. I was really surprised by this dish, I wasn't exactly expecting ham hock and braised cabbage to be a particularly refined dish but it was quite a pretty dish. The cabbage was sweet, which went well with the saltiness of ham hock and the the black pudding crumb added texture.
The UP breakfast is a good feed for those with larger appetites. It's a wholesome breakfast of poached eggs, pork and fennel sausages, buttered thyme mushrooms, sauteed kipflers on sourdough with your choice of either a tomato chutney or bearnaise sauce.
Their Australian Sencha was interesting, a much more grassy and young tea than what I'm used to but the second steeping was quite nice. For those too busy for a sit down breakfast/lunch Urban Provedore also has a gourmet takeaway menu as well as a gorgeous sandwich bar. My only disappointment was the lack of sweets, there was your usual croissant and muffins but nothing to satiate my sweet tooth.
Nonetheless, Urban Provedore is a beautiful space with lovely food.
