“”"Pura Vida”" is a Costa Rican saying used to express various sentiments. At Pura Vida, the saying most directly reflects the sentiment “”life is great.”" This Poncey Highlands restaurant is a place for guests to celebrate one of life’s greatest pleasures: gathering around a table with close friends to enjoy great food, wine and each other’s company. Pura Vida is a social restaurant serving small plates made with the best ingredients and flavors that Spain and Latin America have to offer. Dining at Pura Vida is a union of celebrating bold, creative cuisine with the joy of socializing with good friends – giving Atlantans a true taste of “”pura vida!”" Life is Great!
Pura Vida is chef-owned and operated, so therefore runs by a “”no-rules”" approach. Santiago’s talent for combining classical cooking techniques with avante garde styles, Latino ingredients and his own creative ideas has earned his cuisine national acclaim and local favoritism.
Santiago’s dishes are bold, inventive and intricate, reflecting his passion for Latin American and Spanish fare. His ever expanding knowledge of International food is evident in every dish he creates, giving guests an unexpected and unparalleled dining experience.
At Pura Vida’s bar, headed by Paul Calvert, you’ll find the city’s best selection of Spanish, Pan-Caribbean, and Central and South American inspired spirits and cocktails.
