Best seafood risotto under €20 I’ve ever eaten, and it’s Michelin

#celebrateit The best seafood risotto I’ve had thus far. The seafood bisque was incredibly flavorful, with the parmigiana powder (?) sprinkled on top totally maxing out the umami. But you do want to let them know if you want it al dente (with a lil raw center) or well done (which I assume more mushy). Either way didn’t come in my way of enjoying the dish, but I think many might have a strong inclination (or resistance) towards one of the style. The complimentary starter—berry/berry sauce with Gorgonzola cheese—was much more interesting than I thought. Not just the kinda chemistry of a cross-marriage between sweet and salty, but the cheese flavor is complex (while not overly strong like normal Gorgonzola). Loving it. The complimentary olives (and bread) was well made too! Especially the green one, brought me back to Italy instantly. The service attitude was wonderfully pleasant and helpful too. I have to say the whole visit was close to perfect. That said, the 100% Varlhona cacao does taste a bit too dilute and weak to my palate. 📍Address: Riviera
