Bob Hart : City Style :

….a mighty feast of Tasmanian-only delights!….

….the wine list here is a cracker….

John Lethlean : The Age Epicure :

…. cooking is refined and contemporary…

….Pure South’s wine list, while not purely Tasmanian, is one of the most comprehensive Tasmanian lists any where on the mainland, and a bloody good list to boot….”

….the Flinders Island porterhouse is a superb piece of beef cooked with amazing consistency….

….possibly the best chef-made restaurant bread in Melbourne today….

….the place has style!…

Jane Hutchinson : Sunday Magazine :

….a hefty Black Angus eye fillet direct from Tasmania’s remote Cape Grim, served with King Island double-cream mash, lives up to the hype….

….the selection of cheeses, each matched with it’s own designer accompaniment, is the best I have seen!…

Danny Russell : MX PRESS :

….thick, juicy steaks you can slice with a letter opener….

….the produce is of the highest quality, and the delivery even better….

Graeme Phillips : Sunday Tasmanian :

…fabulous!
