Restaurants in Cortina d'Ampezzo

SanBrite holds a Michelin star and ranks #233 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Europe (2025). Chef Riccardo Gaspari's farm-driven Alpine cooking in a small, quiet room earns its €€€€ price point for food-focused travellers. Book at least 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season; lunch is your best fallback if dinner is full.

Tivoli holds a Michelin star and an OAD Classical in Europe ranking, making it the most credentialed restaurant in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Chef-owner Graziano Prest runs a kitchen that balances Alpine mountain produce with daily-sourced Adriatic fish, backed by one of the most serious wine cellars in the Dolomites. Book early, request the window table, and treat the wine list as essential.

El Brite de Larieto is a Michelin Plate agriturismo set in a larch wood above Cortina d'Ampezzo, with a 4.7 Google rating from 394 reviews.

At €€€, it sits below the starred restaurants in Cortina but delivers a setting and atmosphere that justify the price for a special occasion or a well-considered lunch.

Al Camin delivers honest Ampezzano regional cooking at a €€ price point that is genuinely rare in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Chef-sommelier Fabio Pompanin runs a 200-label wine list alongside a kitchen that applies modern technique to Dolomite tradition without losing its practicality.

Alajmo Cortina holds a Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025) and delivers contemporary regional cooking in the restored premises of the historic El Toulà restaurant. At €€€€, it is one of Cortina's most accessible fine-dining bookings, with reservations typically available one to three weeks out. The tasting menu and à la carte format suits special-occasion dinners for two; no lift means upper-floor dining requires navigating stairs.

A Michelin Plate-recognised mountain hut restaurant outside Cortina's centre, Baita Fraina delivers consistent regional cooking and a genuine Stube atmosphere at €€€ pricing. It is the right book for returning visitors who want silence and honest Dolomite food over social spectacle. Less ambitious than SanBrite or Tivoli, but more honest to what Alpine country cooking should feel like.

A Michelin Plate restaurant at €€ in a town full of €€€€ options, Ristorante de LEN makes a strong case for first-timers who want Alpine regional cooking done properly without the tasting-menu spend.

A Michelin Plate holder (2024 and 2025) in an alpine lodge setting near Cortina's Tofana, Baita Piè Tofana is the natural choice when atmosphere and location matter as much as the food. At the €€€€ tier, it is best visited during ski or hiking season for a special-occasion dinner or a long mountain lunch. Booking is easier than most Cortina peers at this level.
