Urbano January Networking Top Table

Urbano Top Table networking lunches are a chance for those at the most senior level of our member companies to meet, connect and explore future business opportunities with others at similar levels in their own businesses - all accompanied by two or three course meal at a fine restaurant and a complimentary glass of something chilled.

Urbano supports all small businesses and, as part of our focus on SMEs, we like to support the hospitality sector by hosting our Top Tables at independent restaurants, especially those owned by brilliant chefs.

Run by Emerson Amelio de Oliveira, together with his wife and son, Oliveira Kitchen is one of London’s most innovative vegetarian restaurants. Emerson was born in Rondonia, Brazil, part of the Amazon rainforest and his cooking is plant-based, organic, including the wine list, and 95% vegan.

For those embracing Veganuary after a Christmas of indulgence, plus those who can't imagine a meal without meat, this event is for you.
