About Urban Central

Urban Central is a restaurant known for its tasty steak sandwiches, Ahi tuna tacos, and Fillet of sole francais. Appetizers such as chicken wings, fried calamari, grilled octopus, and PEI mussels in a coconut sauce are also popular. The service is attentive and friendly, with a good beer selection and desserts available. The interior has a nicely designed space with soft lighting, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Customers have praised the carefully prepared food, with dishes like the lamb lollipops being tender and perfectly cooked. The cowboy ribeye was flavorful and very tender, and the sole provensal was hot and delicious—some of the best fish dishes experienced. The flatbreads are highly recommended, especially the fig one, and the mushroom flatbread is also a favorite. While the restaurant can be quiet, the ambiance suits those who enjoy a lively pub-like environment, with slightly loud music. Parking can be a challenge, with only street meters available, so arriving a bit early is advised. The staff is friendly and well-trained, although some dishes, like the octopus, may be saltier than expected due to marination, so guests sensitive to salt should be cautious. The chef's skills shine in dishes like the properly seared duck breast served medium-rare over parsnip purée, with a flavorful blueberry gastric that adds a nice touch. Overall, Urban Central offers a satisfying dining experience with well-presented food, though it could benefit from improvements in parking and beverage options like wine and glass pours. Despite its quality, the restaurant has yet to attract a larger crowd, possibly due to limited advertising.
