When I saw on Picnic Café's Facebook page that they had risotto on their menu, I was there before anyone could say 'mamma mia'. Picnic Cafe's mushroom risotto is offered with a choice of chicken confit, pan seared salmon or pork ribs for just $15.90 nett.

I picked the porcine variant, and it did not disappoint at all. The al dente, just right grains of arborio rice were swaddled in the thick, tasty mushroom sauce alongside a few thick, earthy slices of mushroom.

The main attraction, the pork ribs, were comfortably settled atop the mountain of carbs, and they were nearly perfect. Meaty, sensationally seasoned and juicy, the only thing that held them back from a perfect porcine ten was that they weren't as tender as they could be. However, that didn't detract from that fact that the pork rib risotto was utterly delicious and satisfying.

Picnic Café takes customer feedback very seriously, as evidenced by their majestic mushroom soup. The last time I had that, it wasn't served quite as hot as I would've liked, and I passed that piece of feedback along to Chris, the chef & proprietor. This time, when I ordered it along with this risotto, it came screaming hot. It's great to see that the owner is taking even the minor feedback seriously and improving upon them.

If there was one eatery I wanted to succeed above all others, it would definitely be Picnic Café.
