đ⨠Michelin-Starred Delight in Milan: A Must for Sour Lovers! â¨đ
This was my favorite Michelin-starred experience in Italyâso much joy! The chef, like me, loves sour flavors! From appetizers to petit fours, every dish had a unique sour element to balance the taste. The menu is all about layered complexity, and I loved how customizable it was. I wanted to try the classic âSetaâs Wayâ menu but didnât like oysters or liqueurs, so they let me swap in two dishes from other menusâso thoughtful! Bouche Fish Tartare with Sour Sauce & Radish Slices: Refreshing and tangy. Quail Egg with Golden Threads: Crispy outside, gooey insideâtexture heaven! Buckwheat Tart with Cauliflower PurĂŠe: Loved the balsamic touch. Tomato Paste Cannolo: Unique and tasty. Watermelon & Pickled Cucumber: A bit odd but interesting. đSourdough Bread The bread was a letdownânot warm and the crust was too hard. The seaweed butter, though, was a nice touch. đLangoustine The langoustine melted in my mouth, paired with a crab broth that was incredibly fresh. The mozzarella added chewiness, and the rhubarb brought a sweet-and-sour crunch. đSweetbread Perfectly cookedâcrispy outside, tender and smooth inside, almost like foie gras. The passion fruit and radish slices added a tangy contrast, and the carrot purĂŠe was creamy and rich. đRisotto A visual and flavorful masterpiece! Creamy risotto with a tangy raspberry powder that kept it light, paired with a fresh vanilla cream. đSpaghetti Full of surprises! The outer layer had a sour radish and lemon sauce, while the center was filled with a rich sea anemone sauce that oozed out when cutâlike unwrapping a gift. The slightly bitter veggies added a bold kick. đEel I was surprised to find eel as a common Italian ingredient. Paired with foie gras and rosemary foam, it was rich but balanced by the foam. Still a bit heavy, but the bite-sized portion helped. đGuinea Fowl My first time trying guinea fowlâcooked to perfection! Even though itâs breast meat, it was tender and melt-in-your-mouth, almost like slow-cooked. đPlum Cheese Sorbet The dessert course came with a change of tableware and napkinsâso elegant! The plum sorbet was sweet and tangy, with crunchy apple bits for texture. đMille-feuille I was torn between this and the cinnamon apple, but the waiter recommended this because heâs a pumpkin lover. No regrets! The pumpkin flavor was rich, and unlike traditional mille-feuille, the layers were thin and crispy, paired with a coffee sauce for a bittersweet finish. Petit Four Mascarpone Raspberry Cheesecake Tart: Tangy and delightful. Hazelnut Chocolate Crisp: Crunchy and nutty. Almond Biscuit: Simple but satisfying. Mont Blanc Chocolate: A luxurious ending. The petit fours were the best Iâve hadâeach with a unique texture. My favorite was the tangy raspberry tart! đ Seta #ItalyTravel #MichelinStar #ItalianCuisine #Milan #MilanFood
