The Octopus, the fire and the softness

In southern Italy, there’s a saying:

“Il polpo si cuoce nella sua acqua.”
The octopus cooks in its own water.

It’s more than a culinary fact. It’s a philosophy.

At MyCaffé, our Grilled Octopus on Bruschetta is inspired by this spirit: a dish that takes its time, that brings land and sea together, that tells a story of contrasts: softness and crispness, warmth and freshness, salt and honey.

It begins with fire.
A careful grilling gives the octopus its light crisp, just enough to awaken the senses.
Then comes the bread crust, the stracciatella, the honeyed turnips, the roasted potatoes.
Sweet, creamy, tender, rustic.

This is not fast food.
This is the kind of dish you remember, because you taste the patience, the curiosity, and the joy behind it.

📍 Enjoy it at MyCaffé, Maison du Nombre – Belval.
And remember: sometimes, the sea has something to say. You just have to listen.
