Opening Times

Perhaps it's appropriate that the paleo diet also goes by the moniker 'the caveman diet', because it's received so much attention that you'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard of it. But for those who haven't been brought up-to-date (err, back-to-date?), we're happy to explain. In essence, the idea is that you eat like a hunter-gatherer. Processed food, grains, dairy, legumes and refined sugars are all strictly off-the-menu. Pastured and wild meats, however, along with seafood, seeds, eggs and seasonal fruit and veg, are encouraged. 
 
Pure Taste in Notting Hill is the first strictly paleo resto in London; providing our city's health-conscious paleo dieters with a fine dining experience. The room features cobalt blue banquettes running the length of the restaurant, whitewashed walls, hardwood flooring, urn-shaped pendant lighting and a bar at its far end. The No. 2 cocktail was sweet and unusual, mixed with coconut, ginger, nutmeg and rum. 
 
Gluten-free focaccia had been baked on site during the morning, and was served with avocado butter, olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. It wasn't long before our starters arrived: scored grilled squid on a bed of pak choy with lemon, sansho and nasturtium flower. As salmon fish cake was served on a striking black dish with a smear of colourful avocado with celery and radish, as well as a dollop of salty tapenade.
Pan-seared sea bass had a nice taut exterior but retained its moisture, with fresh citrus fruit, fennel and caper propping it up. However, our favourite was easily the beef, served very rare and with a melt-in-the-mouth texture, it was accompanied by a serving of tabbouleh. Even this paled in comparison with the chocolate fondant, skewered with a shard of caramel and served with a sphere of punchy ginger ice cream. All in, we were happy with Pure Taste, and while it may not convert seasoned gluttons to the paleo diet, it will definitely please those that follow it.

Testimonials

The service I have received from Innerplace has been superb every time, not just dinner or club reservations but also gigs, events and other lifestyle requests... In conjunction with the regular parties that you host I believe the membership is great value for money. Even helping me with a recent weekend trip to New York, which was exceptional. Everything ran like clockwork making my life a lot easier than it otherwise it would have been. A truly great service.
