At a glance - Pure South

Pure South is a restaurant that offers exceptional modern Australian cuisine to the Melbourne dining scene. The restaurant serves superbly fresh produce, all sourced directly from Tasmania, King Island and Flinders Island.

With newly appointed Michelin Star Head Chef David Hall heading the kitchen, the restaurant is in safe hands. David Hall was born and raised in Scotland with a chef for a father and developed a passion for cooking fresh produce at an early age. His early memories from the remote Isle of Skype are revisited in Pure South Dining’s relationship with lobster fishermen on King Island and Tasmania’s wild north coast.

Mt Gnonom Farm Wessex Saddleback Pork Belly, brawn, kohlrabi, pork consommé with viola flowers - The slices of pork belly were stunning. The pork was moist on the underside and contained the perfect amount of unctuous fat, encased in a crisp outer crust of crackling. Each bite was gratifying. The delicious consommé provided a delectable depth of flavour to the pork. We could not fault this dish.

A twist on the classic New York Sour - Our accompanying cocktail poison was twist on the classic New York Sour made with Jameson Irish, egg white, lemon, apple juice, splashed with Tassie Pinot Noir- served with a floating viola. We adored this heady, frothy mixture of sweet and sour.
