Risotto in Strasbourg: our signature dish with scallops, saffron and butternut squash

Fried Saint Jacques, butternut squash and saffron from Iran: our signature risotto brings these flavors together in a dish that we hold dear. At L’Épicurien, risotto comes in several forms. It also pairs well with crispy shrimp or a filet of bar, with ingredients and seasonings specific to each dish. If you’re looking for a risotto in Strasbourg, here are the three options on our menu.

The signature risotto with Saint Jacques

Our risotto with fried scallops, butternut squash and saffron is offered for 25 €. The recipe also mentions carrots and saffron from Iran. The butternut adds its sweetness, while the saffron gives the dish its aromatic character. The scallops take center stage in this dish.

We present it as our signature risotto: it’s the dish to discover when you crave Saint-Jacques and you enjoy the pairing with butternut squash. The saffron from Iran and the butternut squash provide the backbone of the recipe, around which the Saint-Jacques are arranged. You can find it in the pasta and risotto section. The Epicurean card.

Creamy risotto with crispy shrimp and basil

At €19, the risotto with crispy shrimp offers a different texture. The menu combines crispy shrimp with a parmesan and basil pesto risotto. The shrimp’s crunch meets the rice’s creaminess; basil and parmesan complete the dish.

This choice suits those who enjoy shrimp and basil flavors. It stands out from the signature risotto thanks to its garnish, seasoning, and price. For many, these differences allow everyone to choose their own dish without leaving the same culinary family.

The risotto al pomodoro with the filet of bar

The third risotto on the menu comes with a fillet of cooked fish on a single side, at €25. Here, the rice is prepared with pomodoro sauce, made with tomatoes. The fish is served with a virgin sauce whose composition includes olives, capers, tomatoes, red onions, avocado and green lemon.

The risotto al pomodoro is part of this fish dish. Its association with tomatoes and the virgin sauce offers a different direction from butternut squash and saffron, or from parmesan and basil pesto. Choose it if your appetite is first drawn to a fillet of fish accompanied by rice.
