Hi!

I’d like to know what’s in the seafood risotto.

Can you help?

Absolutely!

The seafood risotto is made with arborio rice, prawns, mussels, and calamari.

We also use garlic, onion, and a splash of white wine for flavour.

That sounds good!

Is there any dairy in it?

Yes, we do add a bit of Parmesan cheese at the end for creaminess.

If you're lactose intolerant, we can prepare it without cheese.

Oh, that’s good to know.

What about the garden salad?

Is it vegan?

Yes, the garden salad is completely vegan.

It includes mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a lemon-olive oil dressing.

Great!

I’ll have the seafood risotto without cheese and the salad, please.

Perfect choice!

I’ll put that order in for you.

Enjoy your meal!

Thanks a lot!

You’re welcome!

Have a lovely day!
