Baita Fraina
More informal in style but very solid in content, Baita Fraina is one of the most authentic addresses for understanding Ampezzo cuisine. The menu offers typical dishes made with local ingredients, in a warm and cosy atmosphere that reflects the gastronomic culture of the valley.
Zuma
Among the most significant novelties in the pearl of the Dolomites, the arrival of Zuma introduces a high-profile international format to Cortina. The contemporary Japanese cuisine, the soft atmosphere and the strong lifestyle appeal intercept an international demand linked to the Olympic event and luxury tourism, marking an evolution in the resort’s gastronomic positioning.
Still
In the heart of Corso Italia, inside the iconic Hotel Ancora Cortina restored by Renzo Rosso, founder of Diesel and protagonist of the rebirth of one of the most historic structures in the Queen of the Dolomites, is Il Ristorante Ancora, an address that combines contemporary Italian cuisine, seasonal ingredients and global influences. The cuisine, overseen by chef Andrea Chivetto, focuses on local ingredients, reinterpreted with creativity.
Refuges: Scoiattoli and Averau
Although a high-altitude refuge, it is now an integral part of Cortina’s gastronomic scene. The iconic location of the Scoiattoli hut, on the Cinque Torri, combined with its fine alpine cuisine, makes it a popular destination for scenic lunches during the ski season.
Considered to be one of the best gourmet refuges in the Dolomites, Averau offers evolved mountain cuisine with a focus on technique and local ingredients. It is a gastronomic destination in its own right, capable of attracting enthusiasts and gourmets even outside the sporting context.
