Pura Vida Foodbar - Midsland — Restaurant in Terschelling

My recent visit to Pura Vida in Midsland, Terschelling was a culinary adventure beyond the ordinary.

Pura Vida surprised me with a unique touch — a hot tub filled with their incredible fish soup. Nah joking…While the hot tub is not actually located in the restaurant, the allure of the soup was so irresistible that I joked with my girlfriend about her putting on a bikini and taking a dip in the delectable broth.

Speaking of the fish soup, it was an absolute delight. Rich, flavorful, and clearly the star of the show, it left a lasting impression. The mere thought of considering a swim in it emphasizes just how much we relished its taste.

The cocktails at Pura Vida were expertly crafted and perfectly complemented the tropical vibes of the place. Sipping on these delightful concoctions added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall experience.

Now, onto the fusion finger food — a true feast for the taste buds. The unique combinations of flavors and textures showcased the chef's creativity and skill. It was a culinary journey worth savoring.

The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff added to the positive atmosphere with their friendly and attentive service.

I really wanted to like this place but I just can’t. I had the lamb burger which was quite nice, whereas my partner had the fish burger and that’s where the disaster struck. I know that it was a fish burger, but there was so much sauce balancing between sweet and gingery, that the tiny bite I took to taste it, lingered for longer than toothpaste. That would be ok for me, but I did not appreciate how one of the waiters was visibly annoyed with the fact that we wouldn’t order anything immediately after our burgers. I think that in an island full of amazing local products, the “travel around the world with our menu” seems unwanted and unnecessary. In addition, I fear that having some insulting samples of pasteis de nata, and some overly sauced poke bowls, isn’t really traveling around the world. My advice is, keep it simple, tone it down on the sauces and on everything, and for god’s sake, have at least some local beers on your menu. Also, you don’t need to be that pretentious....

Fantastic restaurant. If you're passing through or staying in Midsland, I HIGHLY recommend this place! Not only was the food utterly delicious, but they support vegetarian and vegan options too and the menu was so well laid out. The waiting staff were so professional, even when presented with a very small language gap in a colloquial term for an ingredient. As my girlfriend is vegan, we have to be very keen on what's in a dish and the waitress took the time to Google the ingredient without telling us to return and let us know. All food was amazingly presented, was affordable and better than any Asian inspired dish I could get locally. Glad we took the taxi journey up to...
