    At Ristorante Alpes & La FuGa, alpine heritage rises to haute cuisine—an elegant interplay of mountain terroir, contemporary technique, and quietly luminous service. In a refined, wood-and-stone sanctuary punctuated by panoramic views, the kitchen composes seasonal tasting menus that elevate pristine regional produce, foraged botanicals, and sustainably sourced meats and fish into exquisitely balanced courses. Guests move seamlessly from aperitivo to dessert, guided by a cellar of rare vintages and artisanal pairings that echo the landscape’s mineral heartbeat. This is an intimate, transportive dining experience—one that lingers long after the last course with the warmth of a fireside glow and the thrill of discovery. < Back Ristorante Alpes & La FuGa NOT YET RATED Modern Cuisine RESTAURANT SUMMARY Ristorante Alpes & La FuGa is a study in refined restraint, where the drama of the mountains meets the clarity of contemporary gastronomy. The space hums with quiet elegance—hand-finished wood, honed stone, and soft amber light that catches on crystal and polished silver. Broad windows frame the horizon in shifting tones of twilight blue and snowlit white, inviting guests into a moving tableau that transforms with the seasons. The culinary philosophy is firmly rooted in alpine terroir, expressed with modern finesse. Menus evolve with the mountain’s rhythm—think delicately smoked river trout with juniper butter, velvet-rich chestnut agnolotti brightened by wild thyme, and chargrilled venison perfumed with spruce tips and black currant. Each plate is composed with painterly balance: textures that whisper and crackle, sauces that glide like silk, and aromatics that rise in elegant plumes. The tasting journey is measured, intuitive, and quietly confident—allowing flavors to unfurl without haste. A deeply curated cellar anchors the experience, spanning limited-release alpine producers, storied Old World houses, and surprising biodynamic finds. Sommeliers shape pairings with a cartographer’s instinct, tracing mineral lines, altitude, and vintage with rare sensitivity. Whether a crystalline Blanc de Blancs to awaken the palate or a mature Nebbiolo that speaks in velvet murmurs, each glass mirrors the kitchen’s purity and poise. For the curious, non-alcoholic pairings feature botanical distillations, alpine teas, and fermented essences that echo the terrain. Service is discreet and unhurried—anticipatory in gesture, generous in knowledge, and calibrated to the quiet luxury of time well spent. Guests might begin with an herb-scented aperitivo beside the hearth and conclude with warm brioche and alpine honey under a constellation of candlelight. In between, the experience unfolds like an elegant escape—La FuGa in spirit—where the outside world recedes and the senses take center stage. What sets Ristorante Alpes & La FuGa apart is its sense of place: the singular dialogue between altitude and artistry, heritage and innovation. It is at once intimate and expansive, a dining room where the mountain’s cool breath meets the chef’s warm imagination. For travelers who collect moments, not just meals, it is a destination to savor—quietly unforgettable, exquisitely composed, and unmistakably its own.

Their cuisine celebrates the rhythm of the seasons with foraged herbs and woodland mushrooms, elevated by contemporary international influences and a reverence for local produce. Signature rice dishes anchor the experience, from the caramelised allure of Catalan rossejat to a captivating La Mancha “gazpacho” reimagined as an aromatic rice. Guests may choose à la carte, a daily market-led menu, or a more elaborate tasting journey, each course presented with precision, warmth, and a discreet sense of exclusivity. Expect an intimate ambiance, graceful service, and flavors that resonate long after the final spoonful. < Back Pinea NOT YET RATED Contemporary RESTAURANT SUMMARY Pinea is a study in understated elegance, where Nordic restraint softens into Mediterranean warmth.

This is the domain of Kiko and Elisabet—partners whose shared vision infuses every element of the experience, from the cadence of service to the last glimmer of flavor on the palate. The menu is a living dialogue with the seasons. Kiko’s kitchen celebrates immediacy: wild herbs and forest mushrooms gathered on early morning forays, vegetables at their crisp, dew-fresh peak, and seafood and game chosen for character as much as provenance. Contemporary technique and international accents bring finesse to regional traditions without overshadowing them, allowing each ingredient to speak with clarity and purpose. Rice, in all its nuanced expressions, anchors the culinary identity here. The Catalan rossejat arrives with a beguiling contrast—grains kissed to a mahogany sheen, carrying whispers of smoke and the sea. Just as compelling is Pinea’s playful homage to La Mancha: a “gazpacho” transformed into a rice dish, aromatic and savory, layered with subtle spice and soul. Each plate is meticulously calibrated, drawing you through textures and aromas that evolve with quiet confidence. The experience is shaped as much by hospitality as by cuisine. Elisabet orchestrates the dining room with intuitive grace: pacing that feels effortless, pairings that illuminate, and a tone of service that is polished yet personal.

A natural oyster arrives with olive hollandaise and a chilled escabeche whispering of garum—pure, saline, and hauntingly primal—while the much-lauded Sequences of Pigeon, served in two movements, showcases intricate cookery and layered savor, from silky jus to precise aging and fire-kissed skin. Cobo’s kitchen is a study in control and curiosity. Sauces glisten with intention, ferments hum quietly, and smoke and acidity are calibrated to reveal rather than obscure.

Spring vegetables, gathered within hours, arrive in a delicate consommé that carries the memory of meadows after rain. Sauces are silken and precise, allowing pristine ingredients to speak with quiet confidence; textures are layered so that each mouthful reveals a new phrase of the same melody.

The spacing of tables creates a cocoon of privacy, while the gentle rhythm of the room allows conversations to deepen and courses to land with cinematic timing.

The cadence is unhurried: a slice of luminous hirame, a whisper of yuzu zest, rice at the precise temperature where aroma blooms and texture melts into harmony. Here, the ocean speaks clearly.

Guests are welcomed into an intimate, light-washed space that hums with quiet confidence—linen-draped tables, flickers of candlelight, and the briny whisper of the sea just beyond.

This is coastal fine dining with soul—a serene, sophisticated escape where every detail is tuned to the rhythm of the tide. < Back La Ultramar NOT YET RATED Fusion RESTAURANT SUMMARY La Ultramar distills the essence of the Atlantic into an experience that is at once modern and deeply rooted. The moment you arrive, a sense of hushed anticipation sets in: pale timber, hand-glazed ceramics, and a flicker of candlelight suggest a refined maritime sanctuary. The dining room feels intentionally intimate, a serene stage for flavors that draw their strength from the shoreline—salt-sprayed breezes, morning markets, and the soft percussion of waves. The kitchen’s philosophy is deceptively simple: begin with extraordinary Galician ingredients and reveal them with clarity. An opening bite might be a chilled oyster crowned with citrus mist and sea herbs, bright as a bell and bracingly clean. A fisherman’s day-catch appears lacquered with a whisper of smoke, the flesh silky and yielding alongside a ribbon of fennel and charred lemon. Vegetables are treated with reverence—grilled padróns brushed with anchovy butter; a luminous consommé, distilled from tomato and crab shells, that carries the quiet thunder of the ocean. The tasting menu is paced like a conversation with the coast, moving from tenderness to depth with measured grace. Textures are orchestrated—glassine crisps, satin emulsions, and delicate crunch—while flavors stay poised between mineral, saline, and subtly sweet. Desserts echo the maritime theme without cliché: a drift of buttermilk and sea buckthorn, or a warm almond cake lifted by bergamot and thyme honey. Each plate arrives composed yet never fussy, an invitation to linger in the details. The cellar reflects an exacting sensibility with a soft spot for discovery. Expect luminous Albariños, textured Godellos, and rare single-parcel bottlings that mirror the sea’s cool clarity, alongside Burgundy, Champagne, and a curated selection of old-world reds chosen for their finesse over force. Service is intuitively choreographed—present when needed, invisible when not—and the ambiance remains effortlessly calm, the sort of quiet luxury that whispers rather than insists. At La Ultramar, exclusivity is born of restraint: fewer tables, a deliberate cadence, and an unwavering commitment to ingredients at their peak. It is a place to savor time—where the Atlantic’s pulse shapes the menu, and the memory of salt and light lingers long after the last glass is poured.
