On my first visit to Cape Town I really wanted to see and try everything I've heard is the best that the City has to offer. Naturally I was amazed at the actual setting of Cape Town and how incredibly nice the people were, especially when I needed directions. I have to say that the most impressive dining experience I had whilst there was at Pure restaurant at Hout Bay Manor. The 7 courses with 7 wines were truly phenomenal. Undoubtedly it was one of the most incredible culinary experiences I've had anywhere in the world, and believe me I've travelled and dined at many of the worlds leading restaurants. Everything about the Pure experience was unbelievable, from the gentleman opening my car door on arrival and escorting me to the restaurant, to the caring waitress - it was a 1st class meal but more than that it was a 1st class experience of the senses.
If you haven't dined at Pure, you simply haven't dined!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Just a pity it is not well frequented, we have been three times and were almost the only guests.

A pure palatable pleasure. Friends and I decided to get out of the Cape Town City and search for a new dining experience. We chose Pure at Hout Bay Manor.
A host met us at the entrance and on request gave us a tour. The decor was wow. We had drinks and complimentary bruschetta with salsa. Being a warm evening, we had drinks on the pool patio.
The experience so far outshone anything in a local Cape Town restaurant. On entering Pure restaurant which is totally serene we were presented with a taster (courtesy of the Chef) of a turkey truffle, again a nice gesture.
We all chose different dishes. From the Cappuccino Lobster Soup to the Rack of Lamb and the Springbok finishing with the Medley of Lemon Dessert whilst the chocoholics devoured their Chocolate Fondant and Chilli ice-cream. Mine was still tops.
Thanking you for a great evening, but as you can see I have indulged yet again on the obvious memory of an evening well spent with friends.
Thanks for the exquisite dinner!
