Restaurants in Selva di Val Gardena

Alpenroyal Gourmet holds a Michelin star (2024) and is the most serious kitchen in Selva di Val Gardena. Chef Mario Porcelli runs three tasting menus — alpine, southern Italian, and vegetarian — from a small, contemporary room inside the Alpenroyal hotel. Book three to six weeks out during ski season; the room is small, demand is real, and Sunday is the one night it closes.

Suinsom holds a 2024 Michelin star in Selva di Val Gardena and is the most serious dinner option in the village. The kitchen runs an Italian contemporary menu with Tuscan roots and Mediterranean influence — grilled eel, pici with lamb ragù — in a pale-wood stube setting. At €€€€, dinner-only, and hard to book, it rewards planning. If you are already in the valley, this is worth the reservation.

A third-generation family chalet between the Sassolungo and Sella massifs, Chalet Gerard holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and a 4.7 Google rating at the €€ price point. Dinner requires a reservation; lunch is walk-in only. One of the stronger-value Michelin-recognised options in the Dolomites, with guestrooms available for a full stay.

Nives is the strongest mid-range dinner option in Selva di Val Gardena, with Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025. The menu centres on premium beef cuts and convivial fondues, with generous portions that justify the €€ price point. Book here if you want a recognized kitchen without the €€€€ commitment of Alpenroyal Gourmet or Suinsom.
