Ursula’s . Paddington
Nestled on Paddington's Hargrave Street, Ursula’s is the inaugural solo venture by acclaimed chef Phil Wood and his wife, Lis Davies. This divine location exudes both European bistro charm and understated elegance. The chic Bemelmans-style illustrated menu unfolds a symphony of produce-driven dishes, seamlessly blending Australian flavours with classic European techniques. Against a backdrop of bold caramel tones and deep blues, adorned with classic Thonet chairs and, custom timber furniture is complimented with bespoke lighting, some of which were moulded by our very own Showroom-X artist ‘The Visuals” Clementine Maconachie.
"If you're anything like me, I took one of each of the starters, with the salmon roe and egg sandwich being a standout, the scallop and lobster sausage taking a very close second."
- Kelly Atkinson
Indulge in Wood’s artistry that pays homage to the roots of early European settlers while sipping on family-run wineries like Tyrrell’s, Crawford River, and Grosset, or opting for a refined Ursula’s Negroni, a white-style concoction featuring Berto Aperitivo, Poor Toms Sydney dry gin, and Regal Rogue—sure to win any heart.
