So last night I finally convinced Sami that we should visit 'Pure on Raw', a raw vegan restaurant on the outskirts of Sheffield, as opposed to what we would usually do, which would be a cheat meal at the Mud Crab or something similar! We had to walk about 40 minutes to get to the restaurant as opposed to a five minute walk to our usual cheat-meal destination, but it was a beautiful summers evening so it was the perfect opportunity to make the most of this sun we've been experiencing lately. (That was how I managed to convince Sami we should go, anyway!) This delightful little vegan restaurant proved to be absolutely worth the walk, as you can see from these beautifully vibrant meals we indulged in!
We both began our meal with these super fresh green juices. Mine contained cucumber, pineapple, cabbage and lemon, whilst Sami had a super spicy apple, greens, cucumber, lemon and ginger concoction. My only criticism is that these glasses were very small and thin for a juice costing £5!
Tons of delicious, raw options available! I always find it so difficult trying to decide what to eat in these kind of places. No matter what I chose I feel like I've made the wrong decision!
Some super delicious looking smoothies available. I will probably be stealing some of these ideas to make myself!
This was Sami's starter (not raw) but look at this presentation! We were both pretty impressed. This is their 'club sandwich' containing ciabatta, filled with home made pesto, cashew nut cheese, grilled onion, mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, and topped with rocket and tomatoes, served with daily dip and crunchy vegetable sticks. Yum!
This was my starter. Slightly smaller than Sami's... This is probably why I always think I've made the wrong choice! However this was also very delicious. It is a trio of fully raw bruschetta (yes, raw?!) topped with tomato & basil, mushrooms and garlic oil.
This was one of the mains we ordered - their raw pizza. The topping contained cashew cheese, marinated veg, nut meat, tomato and 'no meat pepperoni.' It was probably the best raw pizza I have ever tried, not that I have had many! However, for £10, we were expecting a whole pizza, instead of two slices and a huge salad!?
This was my main of 'cheesy pasta.' Zuccini-carrot pasta dressed in cashew nut cheese, pesto, baby tomatoes and nut meat. I loved this 'nut meat' but I have no idea what it actually was!
This was Sami's main - the 'meal taster.' It contained a burger, half Hawain pizza, 3 different creamy salads, sun seeds and live flat bread. Again, it was a bit of a shame how little pizza he received for the price.
To top it all off we shared this delectable raw dessert. Ice cream made from nut milk, topped with date syrup and some kind of minty energy balls.
If you happen to be in the area I would definitely recommend this restaurant, just be prepared for the fact that it is pretty expensive. I will definitely be heading back here sometime in the near future. It made me feel 100x better than a cheat meal ever would have done!
