Urban Fresh Ely stands out as a culinary gem charmingly nestled on the riverside at 5 Annesdale, Ely. This restaurant brilliantly marries a vibrant dining atmosphere with an innovative menu that expertly caters to both vegetarians and meat lovers. Customers rave about the exceptional flavors, with one patron describing the food as a "taste explosion," particularly praising the perfectly cooked scallops and flavor-packed paella. The menu features an enticing array of dishes, including delightful vegan options like the Mushroom Ceviche and Spiced Mexican Burguesa. Enthusiasts of unique flavors will appreciate the distinct offerings that deviate from the typical local fare, making each visit an exciting exploration of tastes. While some diners noted the marginally higher prices than nearby restaurants, they unanimously agree that the quality of dishes justifies every penny spent. Couple this with a stunning view of the Ouse and a well-curated selection of beverages, including mocktails and wines, and it’s clear why Urban Fresh Ely has garnered such acclaim. However, a few customers mentioned a desire for more dessert options, particularly for those with dietary restrictions. Overall, Urban Fresh Ely is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Ely, with a promise of delightful culinary adventures with each visit.

The food here is positively epic. The range of flavours with each mouthful is like a taste explosion. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the Paella was packed with flavour. Located on the Riverside in Ely the location adds to the ambiance. Marginally more expensive than other local restaurants but worth every single penny ten fold!

I appreciated the clearly marked vegan/vegetarian section of the menu. Sorbet was available for dessert, the blood orange was delicious. More vegan dessert options would be nice.

A great restaurant overlooking the Ouse. Outside seats are filled on a first come basis. Lovely (and hot) food with good service. Once the restaurant emptied the staff thinned out somewhat so we had to find them to order coffee and pay. Very highly recommended!

We had the most amazing meal here with friends! The food was absolutely fantastic, some of the best food I have ever eaten! The service was great too. The menu was different to lots of places around our way, so it is nice to go somewhere which doesn’t have the standard options that are always on a menu! We have had two brilliant meals here, so will definitely be back! If anyone is looking for places to eat in Ely, you have two go here!

Great ambience and decor. Friendly helpful staff and good service. Good menu with plenty for vegetarian and meat eaters. Delicious food with great spicing and flavour. Good wine selection and mocktails for the drivers. I did notice there were no desserts although after a starter and a main course we didn't need one.

The restaurant has a nice location right on the water. There was only one waitress who had her hands full waiting tables inside and out and giving the orders to the delivery guys. She did a good job though not surprisingly I did have to wait at least ten minutes before I could get the bill. I had the Moqueca Brazilian vegetable stew [17] which comes with rice. It was tasty, chock full of vegetables and the bowl was huge. One nutritional negative however is that there was no protein in the meal. I would have liked to have had some beans of some kind in it so that with the rice it would have made a complete protein source (that or quinoa instead of rice). For a drink I had "The 'That's Not Right' one" cocktail [12]. I can't recommend it. Most of the glass was filled with ice and the flavor was solely lime.
