hey guys!! This saturday I had the pleasure to dine at Pure Food and Wine in NYC and it was amazing!!! I wanted to post some pictures of what we had and i'm doing a full review of the restaurant in my raw journal which you can find the link to at the bottom of this post.
just thought people would find this interesting and fun!
enjoy!
(sorry the pics aren't TOO bright... it's pretty dark in there and I didn't want to use my flash)
appetizer: califlower samosas with banana tamarind sauce and some sort of chutney stuff on top, I think it was papaya or mango maybe? soooo good and spicy!
my dinner: mushroom and nut cheese ravioli with some sort of sauce that tasted pesto-ish. The ravioli itself was made from coconut meat. delish! my friend liked mine better than hers.
my friends dinner: tamales with cocoa mole, avocado, and sour cream. I LOVED this. I liked hers better than mine and was AMAZED with the sour cream!!!
dessert: trio of ice cream. From the left to the right: chamomille (sp) tasted VERY sweet, plum with kiwi on top (the best of the three), and green tea with pistachio (sp) nuts on top. If I didn't know better I'd think they were REALLY ice cream.
It was a bit pricey but if you get a chance to go.. do it!
I haven't posted my full review on my blog just yet but will hopefully do it tonight or by tomorrow night at the very least.

Oh wow Luna!
That all looks unreal!!! Thanks so much for posting these.
Just a quick question, what were the ravioli wrappers made of?
Looking forward to your review...

Thanks for posting the pics! It looks like a wonderful meal!
I'm soooo jealous. I would love to be able to go to ANY raw restaurant, but Pure Food and Wine is definitely at the top of the list.

Sigh...
one day there WILL be a raw food restaurant in Australia... one day...
Right now I'd just settle for one that had maybe one or two dishes. I am so sad.
But happy you got to have such a wonderfully tasty time!
