Seestrasse 36, 9326 Horn

+41718445151

Al Porto and its Giardino terrace form the Mediterranean restaurant at Bad Horn Hotel & Spa on Seestrasse. Large windows connect the indoor dining room with Lake Constance, while the summer terrace sits directly beside the hotel's harbour. You can book a restaurant table without making an overnight stay part of your plans. The seasonal menu combines fish, meat and vegetable dishes. Recent autumn choices include whitefish with lemon-and-caper beurre blanc, sea bass with polenta and roasted vegetables, and pikeperch with porcini fettuccine. A veal cordon bleu with prosciutto, smoked mozzarella and basil gives a Mediterranean variation on a familiar Swiss dish. The selection changes, so treat these as examples of the kitchen's style. Vegetarian diners have dedicated dishes such as mushroom fettuccine and baked pumpkin, while tomato-and-basil fagottini are specifically marked vegan. Desserts range from tiramisu with plum ragout to apple tarte tatin and homemade ice cream. Between the main meal periods, a separate smaller menu provides snacks and sweet options for a shorter stop by the water. The current main menu gives separate lunch and dinner service windows. Booking is advisable, particularly for the waterside terrace; at busy times the restaurant may allocate different evening sittings. Accessible facilities and parking are listed by Switzerland Tourism. Discuss dietary requirements with the service team when reserving, and ask which terrace or indoor tables are available for your visit.

Bahnhofstrasse 17, 9326 Horn

+41718414140

Costa Verde brings a Spanish menu to Bahnhofstrasse in Horn. Host Paco Galan's restaurant offers a particularly wide choice of fish and seafood, together with grilled meat and traditional starters. It is an evening address through most of the week, with an earlier opening on Sunday and Monday as the closing day. The starters make it possible to explore several familiar Spanish flavours. Choices include tortilla, octopus salad, Galician-style octopus, marinated anchovies, Manchego cheese and cured ham. Prawns appear grilled, on skewers or in garlic sauce, alongside squid, mussels and clams. A few starters can introduce the seafood emphasis before a larger plate. Among the main dishes are a mixed fish-and-seafood grill, sole, turbot and monkfish. One monkfish preparation combines the fish with prawns and shellfish in a clay pot. Meat options include lamb chops, marinated skewers and grilled veal, pork or chicken. Paella is available only by advance order for at least two people, making a telephone call important if that is what you want to eat. Dessert keeps the Spanish thread with homemade crema catalana and a nougat ice-cream cake, alongside other ice creams. The menu gives a choice of potatoes, vegetables, rice or salad as accompaniments. Contact the restaurant directly to book, arrange the paella and discuss dietary requirements. Check kitchen service before arriving late, since the published closing time describes the restaurant rather than a guaranteed last food order.

Seestrasse 68, 9326 Horn

+41718400324

Lido is a restaurant on Seestrasse in Horn, with a modern setting beside Lake Constance. Silvia Hafner's restaurant combines a regular menu with changing weekday meals and seasonal dishes. It is a useful local choice when you want familiar Swiss-style cooking and a broad selection, rather than a meal built around a tasting menu. The main menu includes minced meat with macaroni and apple sauce, homemade meatloaf, pork piccata and several schnitzel preparations. Cordon bleu receives particular attention, with pork or veal versions and fillings that include the Bündner combination of cured ham and cheese. Smaller portions are listed for guests with a lighter appetite. Fish choices include crisp pikeperch pieces with tartare sauce and perch fillets with almonds, rice and vegetables. Vegetarian alternatives include tomato spaghetti, fried Camembert with salad and a vegetable schnitzel. The weekly menu offers another way to choose, so look at the day's dishes before deciding from the main card. The team can explain the allergens in individual preparations. Lido opens in the morning throughout the year, but closing times change between summer and winter. A brunch takes place on the first Sunday of each month from 08:00 to 11:00 and requires a reservation. Breakfast platters can also be arranged on weekdays by advance request. Call directly for a table, to confirm winter kitchen hours or to organise a breakfast visit.

Via Lepanto 1, Frazione Solva, 17021 Alassio

+390182644744

Ristorante La Vigna sits above Alassio in the hamlet of Solva, where its terrace looks across the gulf. A grape pergola, flowers and softly coloured interiors give the osteria a different atmosphere from the busy seafront below. The setting encourages a slower meal, with the view forming part of the occasion and the kitchen keeping the ingredients of the surrounding region in focus. Its cooking brings together the western Ligurian coast, Provence and the Langhe. Fresh pasta, bread and pastries are made in house, and the menu changes with the seasons. Seafood has a central role: raw violet prawns and langoustines, local fish, tuna, octopus and gently cooked salt cod appear among the restaurant's specialities. An oyster selection offers another way to begin a meal by the coast. The pasta repertoire is particularly distinctive. Agnolotti al plin are filled with roast rabbit, while seafood tortelli, tagliolini with prawns or lobster, and Carnaroli seafood rice show the maritime side of the kitchen. Meat eaters can look for Ligurian-style rabbit, Fassona beef and slow-cooked veal. Seasonal vegetables accompany the main dishes rather than being treated as an afterthought. The restaurant also gives careful attention to its wine selection, so the meal can be planned around a bottle as well as a dish. Book a table directly and use the Solva address when arranging your journey: this is a hillside destination above the town. Ask about the current seasonal menu and terrace availability when making your reservation.

Passeggiata Baracca 25, 17021 Alassio

+390182642557

La Prua has welcomed diners to Alassio's seafront since 1978. On Passeggiata Baracca, the restaurant combines three indoor dining rooms with a veranda overlooking the beach. In summer, tables can extend directly onto the sand; in cooler weather, the sheltered spaces keep the sea close to the meal. It is a setting suited to a leisurely lunch, a dinner for two or a celebration arranged with the restaurant. The kitchen draws on Ligurian and Mediterranean cooking while giving individual dishes a contemporary direction. Raw seafood selections follow the day's availability, with prawns, langoustines, oysters and fish prepared to order. Roast octopus comes with anchovy-flavoured crushed potato, tomato and Taggiasca olive, while a courgette flan with Raschera cheese offers a vegetable-based starter. Pasta and rice choices include traditional trofie, seafood spaghetti to share, and Carnaroli rice with trombetta courgette, langoustine and smoked burrata. The day's Ligurian fish can be grilled, baked in salt or prepared in the local style. Other dishes include sesame-crusted tuna, sea bass with basil and grilled Fassona beef with seasonal vegetables, giving companions different ways to build a meal. The wine selection includes regional bottles as well as wines from elsewhere in Italy. Desserts range from an espresso tiramisù to lemon-and-basil ice cream with Ligurian stroscia and strawberry compote. Reserve ahead if you would like a particular seaside setting, and check which outdoor tables and fish specialities are available for your visit.

Passeggiata Dino Grollero 18, 17021 Alassio

+390182660573

Clapsy Alassio stands between the town's narrow shopping streets and the sea on Passeggiata Dino Grollero. Orange accents brighten the outdoor tables, while handmade Vietri tiles carry that colour into the dining room. This was the first restaurant opened by Claudio and Orietta in the Clapsy family, whose story began in 2004. It is a convivial seaside address for pizza, fish and the group's own take on cheese focaccia. The focaccia is an important part of the restaurant's identity. Two thin layers enclose creamy crescenza cheese, with a classic version as well as combinations involving pesto and pine nuts, smoked speck, aubergine or other additions. Claudio learned the method while working in Recco's bakeries and developed the restaurant's own interpretation from that experience. Pizza lovers can choose between the especially thin, crisp style and a separate Neapolitan selection. The thin Margherita pairs tomato, mozzarella and basil; the vegetarian version adds courgettes, aubergine and rocket. Among the Neapolitan choices, Partenopea uses San Marzano tomato and fior di latte, while Campagnola brings grilled vegetables and burrata. There are also richer combinations with sausage, spicy salami and regional cheeses. Seafood and Ligurian country cooking broaden the offer beyond the oven. The restaurant describes its sourcing around the fish markets of Savona and Imperia, regional olive oil and selected Italian produce. It is a useful option when some of the table want pizza and others prefer a restaurant meal. Contact this Alassio branch directly to arrange your table and confirm service times.

Seestrasse 66, 9320 Arbon

+41714475757

Restaurant Seegarten is part of the family-run hotel on Seestrasse in Arbon. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a sunny terrace and an indoor restaurant. The kitchen keeps a relatively compact seasonal menu alongside changing daily offers, making it a useful choice for a meal after exploring Arbon or the lakeside cycle route. Swiss classics sit alongside fish and vegetable dishes. The published late-summer selection includes Zurich-style sliced veal with homemade rösti, breaded pork schnitzel, pikeperch in white-wine sauce and perch in beer batter. Vegetable lasagne with mushrooms and homemade spring rolls with an edamame-and-glass-noodle salad provide meat-free alternatives. Since the card changes with the season, check the current dishes rather than expecting the same preparations year-round. The restaurant names its regional suppliers, including dairy products from Molkerei Fuchs in Rorschach, fruit and berries from Tobi Seeobst in Egnach and vegetables from an Arbon supplier. Its ingredient declaration also distinguishes imported fish and meat, so regional sourcing should not be read as a claim that every ingredient comes from Lake Constance. The hotel welcomes family celebrations and other group occasions, with separate rooms that can be arranged with the team. For an ordinary meal, the main practical detail is the split kitchen schedule: hot food is served at lunchtime and again in the early evening, although the restaurant opens from 07:30. Telephone or email for a table, to discuss a group menu or to confirm the latest seasonal selection.

Vico Berno 6, 17021 Alassio

+390182640387

Osteria Mezzaluna has occupied Vico Berno since 1993, in a small lane linking Alassio's shopping streets with the sea. Candlelit interiors and outdoor tables among plants and flowers give it the atmosphere of a Mediterranean neighbourhood osteria. Acoustic live music is part of its evening identity, so dinner here can become an occasion to linger as well as a chance to explore the menu. Sharing is an easy way to begin. Boards combine cured meats and cheeses from southern Italy, while pinzimonio pairs fresh vegetables with savoury dips. Mussels can be ordered with white wine and pepper or with basil pesto, potatoes and green beans. The seafood starters also include marinated anchovies and a combination of smoked fish and tuna. Ligurian pasta has a strong presence: trofie arrive with pesto, potatoes and beans, and ricotta-and-herb pansotti are served with walnut sauce. Seafood scialatielli and fish-filled ravioli offer alternatives, while grilled tuna, swordfish and squid move the meal towards a main course. Vegetarian choices include chickpea panissa, grilled vegetables and cheeses; children have their own smaller selection. Desserts range from fruit tiramisù to homemade cakes and fruit sorbets, with moka-brewed coffee to finish. Check the music programme if you have a particular evening in mind. Online table requests need to be made at least 24 hours ahead and require the restaurant's confirmation; call for larger groups or more immediate plans. The published evening schedule includes a Tuesday rest day.

Via Vittorio Veneto 151, 17021 Alassio

+390182648736

Il Barrante combines a Neapolitan pizzeria with a seafood restaurant on Via Vittorio Veneto, close to Alassio's beach. Its family-oriented approach makes it useful for a table whose guests want different things from the same meal: a familiar pizza, a plate of Ligurian pasta or a more substantial fish course. Lunch, dinner and a separate late-afternoon aperitivo service provide several ways to fit a visit into a day by the sea. The pizza list begins with Margherita, Marinara and anchovy-topped Napoletana, then moves into richer combinations. Parmigiana brings fried aubergine and Parmesan to the tomato-and-mozzarella base; Mortazza combines burrata, smoked provola, mortadella and pistachio. There are also spicy salami, four-cheese and buffalo-mozzarella choices, so both a simple order and a more elaborate topping are possible. The kitchen gives equal attention to coastal dishes. Start with Ligurian octopus salad, mussels or anchovies with panissa, then consider seafood scialatielli, spaghetti with clams or trofie with homemade pesto, potatoes and green beans. Grilled fish, mixed seafood fry and pistachio-crusted tuna sit alongside beef, burgers and Ligurian-style rabbit, while a children's selection keeps simpler appetites in mind. Desserts continue the meeting of local and southern Italian influences, with an Alassio hazelnut-and-coffee speciality, classic tiramisù and Neapolitan babà among the choices. The range makes Il Barrante particularly practical for families and mixed groups. Telephone for a table and mention any dietary needs so the staff can guide you through the menu.

Setaliste Pet Danica 36, 85340 Herceg Novi

+38231339842

Mon 07:00–01:00; Tue 07:00–01:00; Wed 07:00–01:00; Thu 07:00–01:00; Fri 07:00–01:00; Sat 07:00–01:00; Sun 07:00–01:00

Do-Do Café stands on the Šetalište Pet Danica in Herceg Novi. That address is the whole point of the place, so it is worth explaining: the Šetalište Pet Danica is the seafront promenade, a paved walk that runs for several kilometres along the water at the mouth of the Bay of Kotor, with the sea on one side and the town climbing the hill on the other. Almost everything in Herceg Novi that faces the water faces it from here. The hours describe a café rather than a restaurant, and a long day: seven in the morning until one the following night, every day of the week without exception. Eighteen hours is the working pattern of a promenade café on this coast — the first coffee before work, the afternoon in the shade, and the evening walk that half the town takes when the heat goes. We hold no website for it, so nothing is written here about what it serves. The telephone is the way to ask. Herceg Novi sits at the entrance to the Boka Kotorska, about half an hour by car from Morinj along the E65 and rather less from the Croatian border. It is the sunniest town on the Montenegrin coast and the one with the most stairs: the old quarter climbs steeply from the water, so the promenade is where people actually walk, and a café on it is on the route rather than off it. You will find Do-Do Café at Šetalište Pet Danica 36, 85340 Herceg Novi.

Peters Pie & Coffee sits at number 18 on the Šetalište Pet Danica, the seafront promenade in Herceg Novi, eighteen doors along from the sea end and a short walk from the old town steps. The name says what it sells: pies and coffee. A pie shop is an unusual thing on this coast. Montenegrin baking runs to burek and to the sweet pastries of the Ottoman tradition, and the filled savoury pie is a northern European habit — so this is a house doing something the promenade does not otherwise offer, which is generally why a place like it survives among cafés that all serve the same three things. It opens at eight in the morning and closes at nine at night, every day of the week with no closing day. Those are daytime hours by the standards of the promenade, where the cafés either side run past midnight, and they say this is a bakery-café rather than a bar: breakfast, a coffee in the afternoon, something taken away for the walk. Herceg Novi lies at the mouth of the Bay of Kotor, half an hour along the E65 from Morinj, and the promenade is the flattest way to see the town — the rest of it is stairs. You will find Peters Pie & Coffee at Šetalište Pet Danica 18, 85340 Herceg Novi.

E65, 85338 Morinj

+38268333444

Ćatovića Mlini is a konoba in Morinj, at the head of the Risan bay in the Boka Kotorska. The name means Ćatović's mills, and it is literal: the restaurant occupies old watermills, on the streams that come down off the Orjen massif and run into the bay a few metres further on. The water is the reason the mills were built here and the reason the place looks the way it does. It calls itself a konoba — the traditional Adriatic eating house rather than a restaurant in the international sense — and the greeting on its own site is direct: with us, you are the star. Tables stand outside among the water and the trees, which is where almost everyone sits. The hours are simple and the same every day of the week: midday to half past ten at night, straight through, with no closing day. Booking is the sensible course in season — this is one of the best-known addresses on the bay and the Boka fills up between June and September. Morinj lies on the E65, the coast road that runs around the bay from Herceg Novi towards Kotor. The Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and this stretch, the inner Risan basin, is the quietest part of it. You will find Ćatovića Mlini on the E65 at 85338 Morinj.

Jadranska magistrala (E65), 85338 Kostanjica

+38232783669

Mon–Sun 12:00–22:00

Konoba Ribar - "the fisherman's tavern" - sits on the coast road between Morinj and Perast, with its terrace built out over the water of the inner bay and the two islands of Perast straight ahead. It is the plain, good kind of Boka seafood place: black risotto, grilled fish by weight, prawns, fried squid, breaded mussels, octopus, a fish soup to start, and a few pasta and vegetarian plates for the rest of the table. The kitchen is open every day from midday to ten in the evening, which makes it easy to fit around a boat trip or a swim from the rocks below. From Morinj it is a few minutes by car or a walk along the shore. A table at the edge of the terrace is worth asking for.

Verige 65 stands on the water at Kostanjica, on the coast road through the Bay of Kotor. The name is the address: Verige is the strait, the narrowest point of the whole bay, where the two sides come within a few hundred metres of one another. The word means chains, after the chain that was once drawn across the water to keep ships out. The restaurant sits on that narrows and describes itself as a place of unique energy. It is arranged for more than dinner. Alongside the kitchen the house takes events and weddings, which in this setting is the obvious use for a terrace over the water, and it keeps a gallery of its own on the site. The hours are long and identical every day: eight in the morning until midnight, with no break and no closing day. That covers a coffee on the way round the bay, a lunch, and a dinner as the light goes off the far shore. Kostanjica is between Morinj and Perast on the E65, about fifteen minutes' drive from either. The Verige strait is the point every boat entering the bay must pass, and the reason the inner Boka was defensible for six hundred years. Perast, with its two island churches out in the water, is the next village along and the most photographed spot on the whole bay — so this is a reasonable place to stop on the way there or back. You will find Verige 65 on the E65 at number 19, 85330 Kostanjica.

Havraníky 145, 669 02 Havraníky

Mon Closed; Tue–Wed 17:00–21:00; Thu 12:00–21:00; Fri–Sat 12:00–22:00; Sun 12:00–21:00

Restaurant Apri is part of the Thaya winery complex in Havraníky, south of Znojmo near Podyjí National Park. The restaurant occupies the main building of an architectural ensemble centered on a converted granary. It is a destination for a meal connected to the surrounding wine country: the kitchen works with seasonal ingredients, and the winery's own bottles are an integral part of the experience. Traditional recipes receive a contemporary treatment, with local game, fish and herbs grown around the estate among the elements described by the official tourism sources. Because the menu changes, the emphasis is on the season rather than on promising a particular dish at every visit. Wine tastings can add context to the meal, with a winery specialist explaining the wines and their development in barrels and tanks. The estate also includes accommodation and separate spaces for events, giving groups options beyond a single restaurant table. Its buildings and landscaped surroundings make architecture another part of the visit, alongside food and wine. For guests staying around Znojmo, Apri offers a change of setting from the town's historic streets to a village winery. It would suit a planned outing built around a meal, especially if someone in the party wants to learn more about regional wine. Contact the restaurant ahead for a table or to discuss a group tasting. Dogs are not admitted inside the restaurant.

Bonazza is a restaurant on the Donji put in Dobrota, the long waterfront settlement that runs north from Kotor along the shore of the bay. The house keeps no website of its own beyond a Facebook page, so what is set down here is what that page states: the address, the telephone number, seating outdoors, and a middle price band. Dobrota is worth understanding before you go looking for it. It is not a village with a centre but a single street some seven kilometres long, following the water, lined with the stone houses that Kotor's sea captains built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. House numbers run high — this one is 170 — and addresses are found by the number rather than by any landmark. The kitchen is open from eight in the morning until midnight, every day of the week, with no closing day. That span is common along this coast and is what makes a waterfront restaurant usable as a breakfast stop as well as an evening one. The old town of Kotor, walled and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a few minutes to the south, and the bay road continues north towards Perast and the Verige strait. Parking along the Donji put is on the road itself and fills up through the summer, so an early table or a late one is easier to come by than one at eight in the evening. You will find Bonazza at Donji put 170, Dobrota, 85330 Kotor.

Hradní 2, 669 02 Znojmo

+420702203232

Enotéka znojemských vín combines a wine tasting room with a cafe in the former brewery grounds on Hradní. The setting connects contemporary interiors with Znojmo's castle area, close to the Rotunda of Saint Catherine. Its central idea is independent exploration: self-service By the Glass dispensers let visitors choose wines and tasting quantities using a rechargeable card. The selection concentrates on the Znojmo wine subregion and brings many local producers into one place. The current wine catalog includes familiar regional varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon, Riesling and Pálava, alongside less familiar grapes and blends. This makes it possible to compare different styles without committing the whole visit to a single winery. There is also a cafe at the entrance, with coffee and locally made cakes, so companions need not all be wine tasters. Inside, dark wooden seating structures occupy different levels within a pale architectural shell designed by Chybik and Kristof. Windows frame views toward Saint Nicholas Church, while the outdoor seating looks across the Dyje valley and historic town. You can approach the venue as a tasting destination or simply a scenic pause during a walk around the castle quarter. The tourism organization also describes spaces available for private celebrations and company events. For a group, discussing arrangements beforehand is sensible; for an individual visit, the appeal lies in choosing your own route through the region's wines.

Horní Česká 229/18, 669 02 Znojmo

+420774283633

Půl na Půl brings a pastry shop, a bakery and a coffee stop together on Horní Česká in central Znojmo. The business is run by a married couple whose shared interests are baking, coffee and cooking. French gastronomy is an important influence, alongside ideas drawn from other cooks and pastry makers. Their approach gives equal attention to a cup of specialty coffee and the food beside it. The bread is made with a sourdough culture combining wheat and rye, while homemade croissants provide a lighter, flaky alternative. An open kitchen lets visitors watch the preparation rather than leaving the craft hidden behind a door. Seasonal brunch dishes use local ingredients and the bakery's own bread, so a visit can become a meal as easily as a pause for something sweet. The changing selection makes more sense as a seasonal kitchen than as a fixed checklist of signature dishes. Set within the historic town, it is a useful address to keep in mind while exploring Znojmo on foot. You could make the baked goods the focus of a visit, or choose brunch and leave room to share a dessert. For anyone interested in how a small bakery works, the visible kitchen adds another reason to linger. Table requests are accepted in advance by text message or through the cafe's social channels. A reservation is particularly worth arranging when a table is central to your plans.

Jana Palacha 1, 669 02 Znojmo

+420775748885

Sun–Thu 10:00–22:00; Fri–Sat 10:00–23:00

Corso cafe&pizza sits on Jana Palacha beside the central park area of Znojmo, combining a pizzeria with a cafe inspired by the town's older coffeehouse tradition. The restored venue reopened in 2014, and its story draws on the influence of Viennese cafe culture. Pizza uses Italian Caputo flour, with choices including a simple tomato, mozzarella and basil Margherita and richer combinations with cured ham or several cheeses. The wider kitchen also offers pasta, beef burgers, flank steak and Czech svíčková, so pizza need not be the whole table's choice. Desserts are made in the kitchen, and Lavazza coffee gives visitors a reason to stop even when they are not planning a full meal. The separate children's playroom is a practical detail for parents: it is behind glass doors and includes a slide, climbing equipment and toys. The municipal tourism listing places Corso near the town center in the park setting and records an outdoor garden for warmer weather. You can therefore consider it for either an indoor family meal or a break outside during a walk. Its mixture of familiar dishes, coffee and homemade sweets makes planning straightforward when appetites differ. A party can start with pizza and let dessert become a second part of the visit. Tables can be requested by phone or through the booking form, with confirmation sent by text message.

La Familia Café on Horní Česká combines a cafe and an in-house pastry kitchen with a substantial restaurant menu. Its rooms have a retro character, and the central address makes it an easy place to build into a walk around Znojmo. Coffee and a slice of cake are only one way to use it: the menu also moves between Czech dishes, Italian pasta and risotto. Breakfast choices include eggs with bacon and beans, sweet croissant toast and a serving of homemade cake with cappuccino. For a more substantial meal, there is svíčková with bread dumplings, roast pork with cabbage, or schnitzel. Mushroom kulajda with a poached egg offers another recognizably Czech choice. Pasta ranges from garlic and chili spaghetti to cannelloni filled with spinach and ricotta. The pastry kitchen makes cakes and individual sweets, including French macarons and American cheesecake, and accepts custom orders. This range suits a group whose members want different things from the same stop: one person can concentrate on coffee and dessert while another chooses a complete meal. The tourism listing also identifies the venue as a place where birthdays, small weddings and seminars can be arranged by agreement. That makes it worth contacting directly if your visit involves a gathering. Rather than treating it only as a cake shop, think of it as a flexible cafe restaurant with a particularly strong sweet side.

Località Fridau 1, 11025 Gressoney-Saint-Jean

+393339528419

Ristorante Mont Néry is the restaurant of the Villa Fridau residence in Gressoney-Saint-Jean. Its name goes back to the Locanda Mont Néry, which the family's great-uncles Erwin and Pina Monterin ran in the village in the 1950s. Today Marysa looks after the dining room and chef Boris Melon runs the kitchen. The cooking is Aosta Valley and Piedmontese, built on produce from close by: the valley's cured meats and cheeses, fresh pasta made in the house with a choice of sauces, and game served with polenta. The ice cream is homemade, in flavors that follow the season, and Boris and Marysa are glad to suggest a bottle from the wine list.

Piazza Tache, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366809

Castore & Polluce stands on Piazza Tache, the square at the heart of Gressoney-La-Trinité, and is open from eight in the morning until late at night. The day starts with espresso and homemade cakes; later the kitchen serves modern dishes made from local produce, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. There are three places to sit: the terrace on the square, the Castore room - an alpine lounge around the bar - and the quieter Polluce room, where the wine is kept. An AIS-certified sommelier looks after around 250 labels and leads tastings, and in the ski season the day ends with after-ski sets from a DJ.

Località Bedemie 11, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366803

Morgenrot is a chalet restaurant in the meadows of Bedemie above Gressoney-La-Trinité, run by its owner, Giorgio. The kitchen keeps to the Aosta Valley: fondue chinoise, polenta concia rich with melted cheese, and zuppa alla valpellinentze, the local soup of bread, cabbage and fontina baked in the oven. The wine list stays close to home too, with labels from the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. In winter the chalet sits in deep snow and is reached on skis during the day. For dinner a snowcat picks guests up and brings them back down again, which turns an evening meal into a small expedition. In summer it is a walk across green pastures.

Località Bettaforca 6/A, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+393520972727

Ristoro Colle Betta sits at 2,727 meters on the Bettaforca pass, right where the Sant'Anna-Bettaforca chairlift arrives, in the middle of the Monterosa ski area between the Gressoney valley and the Val d'Ayas. In winter skiers stop on the snow terrace facing the Monte Rosa massif; in summer hikers come up on the trail from Stafal or ride the lifts via Sant'Anna. The hut is large and spread over two floors. The menu mixes Aosta Valley and Piedmontese dishes with pizza, sandwiches and toasts for a quick stop between runs, the cellar holds a good range of wines, and the bar serves beer, coffee and hot chocolate. It is open for as long as the lifts are running.

Località Sitten 16, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366300

Ristoro Sitten is a mountain refuge at 2,300 metres above Staffal, in the Monterosa Ski area, with Monte Rosa filling the view from the terrace. In winter it is reached on skis or with the Sant'Anna cable car from Staffal; in summer the cable car and a 4x4 shuttle bring walkers up, or it is a hike. Run by the Comola family's company, it works as two places in one. At lunchtime it is a self-service with quick dishes, hot sandwiches and Aosta Valley plates for skiers and hikers; in the evening it becomes a restaurant with regional cooking, and on Saturdays in season a high-altitude dinner with a snowcat ride up after the lifts have closed. There is a wood-fired hot tub outside for those staying the night, and beds for anyone who wants to be first on the slopes.
