It goes well with a meal and is just right for a perfect finish after one!! ![Photo related to the Camel Orzo drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew-21-1nxvc-900.webp) ## What did we order for a second round after dinner? Since I came to Camel Orzo after already eating, we kept it light and ordered one dish, the Manjo crema risotto, and one Camel Special Cheese Platter, which goes well with wine or drinks, to share. We were full, yet we finished everything, so here's my honest review! ![Manjo crema risotto ringed with fried cheese chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew-22-1g1f8-900.webp) ### Manjo crema risotto The Manjo crema risotto looks gorgeous, like a work of art!! Thin fried cheese chips ring the plate, with a mountain of steak piled inside. ![Manjo crema risotto topped with steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew-23-21cx6-900.webp) Break the crispy chips and eat them with the tender meat and risotto, and it's a party of textures in your mouth! It keeps the cream, which could easily feel heavy, clean, so every ingredient was perfectly balanced! ![Camel Special Cheese Platter with brie and prosciutto](https://img.superchart.com/images/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew-24-1nv5x-900.webp) ### What's in the dinner-only Camel Special Cheese Platter The Camel Special Cheese Platter is a dinner-only item, generously loaded with brie topped with rosemary and pistachios, plus salty prosciutto and salami. Add cool watermelon, sweet dried apricots and assorted nuts, and you get a perfect harmony of sweet, salty and nutty. The richness of the brie and the fresh ingredients filled my mouth with a luxurious flavor, so satisfaction was at its peak!! ### Finishing the meal: decaf cold brew Besides a variety of alcohol that pairs well with food, Camel Orzo has a drinks lineup that rivals a café's. For a clean finish I ordered the decaf cold brew, and it was an excellent choice. Even though it's decaf, it keeps coffee's fragrant aroma and a smooth finish, a wonderful coffee that lifted our after-dinner dessert time a notch. ## Camel Orzo: overall verdict Camel Orzo gave me a perfect time, like a quick gourmet trip to Italy. From the roomy, convenient partner parking to the stylish interior, the high-quality dishes that dazzle eyes and mouth alike, and the thoughtful events, nothing was missing from this excellent dining spot. If you're looking for a special, high-quality meal with people you care about near Sangmu, I really recommend giving it a visit! ## Where it is - Camel Orzo (카멜오르조) - 261 Uncheon-ro, Urban Peak Sangmu 1F, Unit 102, Seo-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 광주광역시 서구 운천로 261 어반피크 상무 1층 102호 카멜오르조 - 35.1559146, 126.8540002 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%EB%A9%9C%EC%98%A4%EB%A5%B4%EC%A1%B0/@35.1559146,126.8540002,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@what-i-ordered-2/camel-orzo-cheese-platter-decaf-cold-brew/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
