Pure Food and Wine

This lovely vegan restaurant at Union Square in New York bills its food as raw, though some of it is gently cooked, below the 118 degrees when enzymes break down. It bursts with fresh vegetable flavors, enhanced by silky oils and seasonings.

Unfortunately the restaurant doesn't update its menu so I can're recreate what I had, though I know I had a creamy polenta with a braised green and the salt caramel tart for dessert, both very good. The wine was a crisp, southern French with a nice mineral taste and matched the vegetable dishes well.
