But please dont relate urbane restaurant with The French Laundry nor should the courier mail with ryan squires. Ryan Squires did well for urbane and made it into the restaurant it is today, so when the new chef came back , he should have his own stlye not ryan squires's nor should ryan have the french laundry. Im sure kim didnt learn this from the green pawpaw Im sick of chefs getting credit for others hard work, like the chef in melbourne robbie wicks at interlude Its good to see someone has passion for food in brisbane, well done…

I've not yet had the pleasure of eating at the Green Papaya but it is certainly on my list. The credit for my amazing meal that night is totally aimed at Kim and his chefs.

Will have to give it a try in due course. Sounds pretty special, and $120 each is actually pretty good for this kind of thing. Will have to give it a try in due course.

There are so many crap restaurants out there, with multi million dollar outfits with donky chefs. I think you miss understood me….amy

Too many chefs say they are 'michelin starred' when they worked for or with a michelin establishment or chef in the past. The food at Urbane was merely ok, only two of the degustation meals were worthy of praise. Head on to Absynthe at Q1 in surfers if you want something in SE Qld that comes close to a michelin experience in terms of quality of food.

I follow the reviews very carefully and didnt urbane bet absynthe in the food score last year and this year .. maybe I would have to check again. not sure what chef was at urbane when they got the highest score in queensland, I feel it may of been Ryan Alexander Squires, but who are the critics? I went to urbane about 6 months ago fantastic... I hear you Marc,
