An Italian week that takes its time at MyCaffé

January moves gently in Belval.
Mornings are still cool, steps are slower, and pauses matter more. This is exactly the spirit of our kitchen this week. An Italian cuisine that feels sincere, rooted, and comforting. A cuisine that does not try to impress, but to make you feel good.

This week also marks an important moment for us. Risotto enters the kitchen at MyCaffé for the first time.

Risotto, a dish of patience

In Italy, risotto is never fast food.
It was born in the North, between Lombardy and Piedmont, where Carnaroli rice has been grown for generations. Each grain is cooked slowly, fed with broth, stirred with care, until it becomes creamy without losing its structure.

Our Carnaroli risotto with cardoncelli mushrooms, sausage and Gorgonzola follows this tradition. The mushrooms bring an earthy depth, the sausage adds warmth, and the Gorgonzola gently binds everything together. It is a dish that comforts, that slows you down, that invites you to pause.

Pasta that tells Italian stories

Around the risotto, the rest of the menu continues to speak the language of Italy.

The ovali filled with buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and ’nduja play with contrast. The softness of the mozzarella, the freshness of the tomato, and the gentle heat of Calabrian ’nduja. Generous, expressive, unmistakably Italian.

The orecchiette with turnip greens and seasoned breadcrumbs are a tribute to Puglia. A humble dish born from rural kitchens, where slightly bitter greens meet the crunch of golden breadcrumbs. Few ingredients, strong character.

Finally, the paccheri with seafood carbonara bring a refined maritime note. Wide pasta that holds the sauce, a controlled creaminess, and flavours that quietly evoke the Italian coast.

More than lunch

At MyCaffé, the day does not stop at lunch.
There is the morning espresso, the cappuccino shared at the bar, the conversation that lasts a little longer than planned. Food accompanies these moments with generosity and discretion.

This week, we simply invite you to come and taste.
To sit down.
To take your time.

Buon appetito.
