★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Mediterranean Cuisine
Inside the elegant St. Mauritius hotel, chef Alessandro Ferrarini, supported by a trusted team, creates colorful, delicious, and balanced dishes using impeccable, often local ingredients. These are available in both tasting menus and à la carte. The focus is mainly on seafood (we especially remember the anchovy butter ravioli with bread and raisins, and the Mediterranean-style sea bass with cherry tomatoes, olives, and capers), but there are also various land-based options. Service is led by an experienced maître who coordinates a young and cheerful team.
