I have enjoyed eating in Urban Angel cafe ever since it opened a few years ago. The first thing that really impressed me was the unexpected interior. From the front of the cafe you are completely unaware of the two delightful and very unique dining rooms and courtyard that hide out the back of Urban Angel. However, after a moment if the delicious smells of freshly cooked meals and bakery don’t lead you down, then one of the charming and trendy members of staff will!This cafe, though deserving of the less modest title of 'restaurant’ due to its extensive menu and setting, prides itself on serving only the best quality, fresh, organic and locally produced food for its customers. It is a busy place so you’re always advised to book, except on weekend days where you may join a queue that often extends down the street!A must try for all shapes and sizes!

If you are young, hip, and enjoy good food, you probably already live at Urban Angel. Even if you are old, cantankerous, and despise trendy eateries, you will be glad you visited UA. The food is that good. Oh! AAND they are fair trade friendly, O do-gooders!

I am a big fan of homemade soups, and UA feeds my need by offering a wide variety of steaming concoctions, changing seasonally with available produce. The corn fritters are also very very good. I am also particularly fond of the tomato and mushroom aloo tikki. Ooh! And the fried halloumi!

For the quality of food on offer and the upscale ambiance, prices are what you'd expect, with starters between 4-8 pounds, and mains from 7-14. My fellow diners complained about the portion sizes for the price, but in the end no one left hungry. As UA is located at the top of Hanover Street, shoppers or afternoon strollers can enjoy a steaming cup of expertly prepared coffee, sit in the sun (when it’s feeling social), watch the world roll by, and eat, eat, eat and be merry. : )

Opened in 2004 this cutsie eatery prides itself on dishing out mainly local, free range and fairly traded produce. A tad on the pricey side but that feeling of solid wellbeing and doing your bit for the local farmer and trader is priceless. Quality food in a quality setting.

passion fruit sorbet... damn yeah!
