Good Food Shouldn't Travel Far
Urbane’s commitment to sustainability is also a major factor in the decision to exclusively use local food in the restaurant’s menu. As food is shipped from location to location, freshness is compromised, which can result in a less robust menu – not to mention adding to the waste of hundreds of gallons of gasoline in the process. By sourcing the majority of our raw ingredients from within a 200-mile radius of the hotel, we are actively engaged in reducing Urbane’s carbon footprint.
Locally available and in-season products inspire our menu. Our culinary team visits and inspects our partners’ farms, affording the rare opportunity to get to know our farmers on a first name basis. Additionally, the oldest continuously operating Public Market in the country – the world famous Pike Place Market – is only six blocks away.
