RESTAURANTS: Pura, which means "temple," is the Resort's all-day restaurant, enticing guests with batik draperies and carved panels of Balinese mythical figures.

The focal point is a glass mosaic pool, from which a Balinese spirit house rises. Private dining can be arranged in three corners of the restaurant by lowering batik draperies. Corner chandeliers lit with candles can also be raised or lowered according to guests' preferences. The floor is of white crystalline granite and blue Brazilian marble.

Pura also features exceptional views of the outdoor double-cascade swimming pool and a distant view of the river. During the summer days and evenings, meals can be enjoyed on the terrace.

Specialties - Especially selected by our chef Jose Salas, Pura's menu is an eclectic combination of Asian, Latin and local cuisine. The restaurant features both a wood-fired pizza oven and an indoor barbecue pit, where beef is cooked on an "Asado" or slanted grill.

Pastry Chef Gustavo Reyna creates distinctive pastries and fresh baked breads. A warm basket of cookies is always ready for afternoon snacking, and the chef's own fresh fruit jams and chutneys are available for purchase.

Menu items change daily and with the harvests of the seasons. Pura also offers a children's menu.

Quincho - Enjoy a memorable meal in our private quincho, available during the summer months, December to March. Watch the Uruguayan sunset as you relax and enjoy a pre-dinner beverage. A traditional parrilla (Uruguayan barbecue) awaits you with a variety of local flavours. The quincho is open for dinner; reservations are required.
