Pure C

Had the most amazing food with creativity at it's best! So pleasant to see the presentation of food as well as to taste!!! Definitely going back!!! Definitely deserves to be a Michelin star restaurant!!!

Great lunch, with the kids, Michelin star, so take you Amex, but good quality, great combinations and good service. Kids tried everything, made me proud!

Superb food of the highest order. Great service. This is a real must for foodies! Not so convinced about the restaurant interior decor... Needs some help.

Wonderful lunch! We were a bit to early but had a wonderful cocktail at the bar before we were guidwd towards our table. Amazing view on the dunes! The waiters were invisible but always at our table at the right time, amazing how they do that! Food was delicious, with all kinds of different tastes and textures, truly wonderful! Best restaurant experience of my life!

Ultimate locavore foodie experience. Visual, taste (mouth), digestion. Spartan decor, atmosphere could be more agreeable, lighting good. Slight lags in service spread over 7 courses amounted to over 4 hours to properly enjoy but 6 courses so after midnight, we had to take some dessert with us, thankful to be staying in the hotel. Recommend the optional pairing with wine. Good value for the money; looking forward to dining there again.

Splendid food; the chef turns seafood into original pieces of art. The menu is well balanced between different tastes and there is no redundancy. The personnel is very professional and the open kitchen offers a delightful ballet.

The food as the other Sergio restaurants is inventive, incredible presentation and the taste out of this world. Sergio is one of a few food geniuses in the Benelux. Superb experience. Second Michelin star seems overdue!

The location is wonderful, food was amazing and the service even better. Very strongly recommended, but make sure to make a reservation.

A Michelin star lunch was offered to us by my dear husband's employer (*baller) and Pure C was the chosen restaurant. Modern, sea-themed and somewhat close to 'home', it seemed like the perfect locale for a near-Valentine's Day lunch. It waaaaaaaas perfect. And lunch was actually the perfect way to do Pure C. One aperitif, four amuses, one bottle of wine, eight courses and a wonderful mix of dessert bites - that took nearly 5 HOURS to finish!! 5 delicious, comfortable and interesting hours of eating! What could be better? (nothing) Ok, the location is a little difficult - unless you live in Brugge, it's a bit of a drive from anywhere. And the hotel that it's located in doesn't look like much from the outside. But you must look past that because the restaurant is pretty fantastic in every other way. Seaside views and seating, nice modern interior, STELLAR service (truly), and excellent food and drinks - worth every penny (€85 per person for the eight course lunch, wines ranged from €35-€80 per bottle). So, what did we have? The eight course menu included: (bear with me, this is as brief as I could be) Dense, dark, hot bread with butter and a special sea eel butter - interesting and good, but don't eat a lot of it... A Pure C custom drink was offered, we chose the citrus-lemongrass-ginger cocktail, which was delicious... First amuse was a fish and citrus-ginger soup-ish bite. Fresh, clean Asian-style spoonfuls to set the mood... Served with the first amuse was a little pizza bite that was said to be Sergio's favorite (the chef) - the crispy bread, carpaccio, tomato and cheese were fantastic! We agree with Sergio... The second amuse was some sort of egg mousse sprinkled with coffee bits - interesting and nice... A third amuse was a small cannelloni filled with spinach and covered with a mega-delicious creamy foam with tomatoes and oil and I-don't-even-know-what-else that was just SO perfect... The last amuse (yes, #4!) was a bruschetta of sorts made from fresh bread, a huge chunk of mackerel, olive tapenade and a purple cream that I did not identify - this was not my thing because of the mackerel, too fishy for me - but still well done (hubby loved it)... Next, our wine choice was the Mas du Soleilla Languedoc and it was PERFECT... First course was an oyster / pearl presentation that was gorgeous - but oysters are also not my thing, so I couldn't finish it. Buuuut, the parts I did eat were cucumber, seaweed, and super fresh. Again, my husband loved it... Second course was ... SO darn good. Hummus, chickpeas, mussels, olive oil, a black thing (bean?), olive tapenade, a foamy creamy salad, a lil heat and YUM... Third course was an Indonesian veggie pair of plates with unusual but fabulous vegetable shavings and creams and peanut-coconut crunches and green sprouts. So fresh... Fourth course was a Brioche mushroom dish with a broth made from water chestnut? and something else? - the Brioche was fantastic and the mushrooms and broth were perfect... Fifth course was a fish soup with cod, crunchy shrimp, bouillabaisse and more; with a tomato, nut cracker?, fennel and some type of salad bite on the side. Delicious... Sixth course was the main, with duck prepared three ways - baked, stewed and presented with Asian flavors, and a mousse of some sort. Good!... Seventh course was a cheese plate - the lead waiter asked what types of cheeses we wanted (answer=everything) and prepared two plates, a mild one for me and a more robust for my husband. The cheeses were primarily Dutch, Belgian and French and were very good. They were also served with fig and nut spreads and breads, which were great. Perfect... The eighth course was a full dessert made of chocolate and beet root sauces/creams, hazelnut accents an more. This was so good, my husband who rarely eats any dessert ate it all! We both ATE IT ALL! So then, we thought we were done and ordered a coffee to drink in the comfy lounge. To our surprise, there was still more food to come. Chocolate truffles, macaroons, fruit squares, apple-rum raisin-crumble and a multi-bite sized mandarin orange and lemon or other citrus square - I couldn't even come close to finishing it all, but what I did finish was really, really great. So, the long-winded conclusion is that lunch at Pure C was a great experience that I can highly recommend. Enjoy!
