Restaurante RiFF

Woman Dies After Eating At A Michelin-Starred Restaurant

"RiFF, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Valencia, Spain, has closed temporarily after 12 diners were sickened over the weekend. One woman died after being hospitalized with severe vomiting and diarrhea. The dish featured morchella, or true morel, mushrooms. Investigators are unsure whether the mushrooms were accidentally served raw or if RiFF staff mistakenly served false morels, an even more poisonous mushroom variety. RiFF opened in 2001 and earned its first Michelin star in 2009 for 'innovative cuisine … based around the highest quality, seasonal, local products to create successful culinary combinations and interesting set menus.'" - Nikita Richardson
