Alajmo Cortina
Deep wine list
Occupying the restored premises of the historic El Toulà restaurant in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Alajmo Cortina delivers contemporary cuisine with a strong regional focus across two floors of warm, wood-panelled dining. Price range sits at the summit tier (€€€€) for the Dolomites dining scene.
Baita Fraina
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate-recognised mountain hut sitting in isolation above Cortina d'Ampezzo, Baita Fraina trades the resort's social theatre for regional Dolomite cooking served at the unhurried pace of alpine tradition. Warm Stube-style rooms, a summer terrace, and country dishes rooted in the Veneto highlands make it the counterpoint to Cortina's more polished dining tier.
Baita Piè Tofana
Deep wine list
It occupies a specific position in the resort's dining hierarchy: modern cuisine at the €€€€ tier, where the mountain setting does as much work as the kitchen.
SanBrite
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A one-Michelin-star dining room in Cortina d'Ampezzo where home-produced and regional Dolomite ingredients define the menu. SanBrite, the name translates as 'healthy pasture', takes a small-tables format with recycled-wood interiors and a dining-room window framing the Ampezzo peaks. Ranked 233rd among Opinionated About Dining's top European restaurants in 2025, it represents the more considered end of alpine fine dining.
Tivoli
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred table on the road to Falzarego pass, Tivoli sits at the intersection of Alpine tradition and refined modern cuisine. Chef-owner Graziano Prest draws on Dolomite mountain produce alongside fish sourced daily from Venetian markets, while a cellar weighted toward historic and French labels reflects the same dual allegiance. Ranked #379 in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list for 2025, this is Cortina's most decorated year-round dining address.
