Overview
- Final service is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026, closing nearly five years of dining in Paddington.
- Chef-owner Phil Wood attributes the decision to a lease expiry plus the growing difficulty of running a small independent restaurant.
- The husband-and-wife team will continue operating Cafe Cressida in Woollahra after Ursula’s closes.
- Opened in October 2021 as Wood’s first venture with Lis Davies, the restaurant earned two hats and praise in the 2026 Good Food Guide.
- A signature of the menu has been the Moreton Bay bug pasta with crustacean butter, which Wood described as the cornerstone dish.
