In the refined gourmet restaurant of the “Giardino” hotel, Reto Brändli has taken the helm of the kitchen, succeeding Rolf Fliegauf.

The kitchen offers all the great Asian classics: traditional or fusion sushi, sashimi, delicious Thai curries, dim sum, and much more. Choosing won’t be easy!

Osteria dell'Enoteca

In a quiet residential area, charm and refinement are the hallmarks of this modern osteria, skillfully and warmly managed by a young couple who offer delicious dishes with modern and creative flair. The large fireplace is the guardian spirit of the restaurant, but in summer, service also moves out to the flower-filled garden, which, like the dining room, features works of art. There is an interesting selection of Ticino wines! The surprise menu “Lascio a voi” (“I leave it up to you”) is available – any food intolerances, as well as vegetarian or vegan preferences, should be communicated in adv

Riva

Restaurant€€€280 m

Perhaps the only true fish restaurant in Ascona where fish specialities are nothing short of exceptional, but meat lovers will not be disappointed either. Situated inside the Seven Boutique Hotel, Riva offers a maritime atmosphere with colourful touches that recall the blue expanse and a tasty cuisine declined in tasting or à la carte menus, from ‘I Crudi’ with oysters & co. to ‘Sogliola alla mugnaia with lettuce, capers and spring onion’. Definitely a great address!
