Welcome to Urban Eatery Restaurant and Bar in Nelson! Don't be afraid to put your elbows on the table and engage with us and your fellow diners. Get to know us and what's inspiring us today. We’ll be delivering the food we're currently passionate about on each plate we serve, sourced from local suppliers. We hope you come with a curious spirit!

Nelson's reputation as a food lover's paradise is well deserved. Surrounded by beautiful ocean with a climate allowing almost anything to grow, there's no shortage here of great ingredients for our restaurant and a fine range of local wines in the bar.

Matt Bouterey's been cooking since he was in shorts. Actually, that was only yesterday. A Michelin-trained chef, Matt has worked with some of the greats including Anthony Demetre, Gary Rhodes and Marco Pierre White.

Our menu changes regularly with respect to what we are into at the moment, whether it's an ingredient, band, chef or current event. Our goal is to make everyone feel like whanau (family) – whether it is your first or fortieth time. We believe that serving up good juju in a restaurant isn't just in the food and drink, but in the attitude and atmosphere which will make Urban the perfect place to stop in and refuel.
