Have you ever dreamt of dining amidst breathtaking city views, sipping expertly crafted cocktails while indulging in delectable cuisine? Look no further than Restaurant Selva, an elevated dining experience located on the 24th floor next to the Rai. With its own cocktail bar and a menu that tantalizes the taste buds, Restaurant Selva promises an unforgettable culinary adventure.
Upon entering Restaurant Selva, you are immediately struck by the warm welcome from the staff. The restaurant offers two dining experiences: choose between a table with a stunning view of the city skyline or opt for the kitchen experience, where you can witness the culinary magic. This last option is perfect for those seeking a unique dining experience or perhaps a date conversation starter on a romantic date.
One of the highlights of dining at Restaurant Selva is their cocktail menu, expertly crafted to complement the flavors of the dishes. During our visit, we had the pleasure of trying several cocktails recommended on the menu. Three of the four cocktails we tasted really enhanced the flavors of our meal and added an extra dimension to the dining experience. Our waiter, attentive and friendly, made sure our drinks arrived quickly, before we even had to ask for them.
As for the cuisine, Restaurant Selva has a diverse menu. Although all dishes were executed with finesse, there were a few standouts that left a lasting impression. The Aguachile, a vibrant dish of marinated scallops offered a refreshing burst of flavor. Even my friend, who is not a seafood lover, could appreciate the dish. The steak tartare, with its perfectly seasoned beef and delicate presentation, was a true testament to the chef’s skill. And let’s not forget the grilled squash, a surprising but delectable addition to our meal that showcased the chef’s creativity and commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients.
While the other dishes we sampled were certainly delicious, not all of them reached the same level of excellence as the highlights. However, this did not detract from the overall experience, as the ambiance, service, and standout dishes more than made up for any minor shortcomings. Restaurant Selva remains a top choice for those seeking an unforgettable dining experience in a sophisticated and elegant setting.
In short, Restaurant Selva offers more than just a meal; it provides a culinary journey that stimulates the senses and leaves a lasting impression. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or simply craving exceptional cuisine with a view, Restaurant Selva is the place to be. The combination of exquisite flavors, expertly crafted cocktails, and breathtaking views ensures that each visit is a unique and memorable experience, one that you’ll be eager to repeat.
