Welcome to Urban Fraîche Restaurant

Urban Fraîche is a unique farm-to-table Mediterranean Restaurant located in Phoenix, AZ. We carefully source high-quality ingredients, choosing organic and local whenever possible. Our seafood is always wild-caught, our meats are natural and raised without antibiotics, and we never use seed oils or processed sugars.

Our menu changes daily because we cook with what’s fresh and available, not what’s easiest. That means every visit you may have something new waiting for you. Yet our baseline remains - clean, flavorful food that feels incredible to eat.

Urban Fraîche is a place to come as you are, enjoy a dining experience of a lifetime, and leave feeling inspired and satisfied.

Having trained in some of New York City’s and the nation’s most celebrated two- and three-Michelin-starred kitchens, he brings a culinary perspective that’s unlike anything else in the Phoenix Valley.

Dean’s passionate pursuit of inspiring others to live a better life fills the space with love, laughter, and wisdom. He is hands-on with every ingredient, recipe, and dish that leaves the kitchen, ensuring each plate reflects care, quality, and intention.
