€€Regional Cuisine, Alpine
To give you an idea of the Alpine location of this restaurant framed by the Costabella mountain chain, suffice it to say that for centuries it was used for mountain pasture. There’s a breathtaking view of the Dolomites which extend into the distance as far as Pale di San Martino, while the menu here focuses on regional recipes such as canderli dumplings on a bed of cabbage, veal stew with polenta and chanterelle mushrooms, and polenta gnocchetti with herb pesto, smoked ricotta and lemon thyme. The wine cellar is home to more than 600 labels, plus accommodation is available in a choice of tranq

The wine list, which has been updated with new labels, invites you to make new discove

€€€Contemporary
Housed in Huber's Boutiquehotel, this restaurant has a pleasingly laid-back feel. The set menu can be customised – select three to seven courses – and features highly appealing dishes packed with flavour. For the most part, they are made with a penchant for regional produce, but a lobster soup is also listed. Friendly and adept service. Oenophiles should peruse the glass-paned wine cabinet at the entrance.
€€Country cooking, Modern Cuisine
‘Codole’ is the nickname of the family that runs this restaurant and whose ancestors once worked in the copper mines in the area. Today, the family has exchanged mining for cooking, offering guests specialities such as ricotta and black truffle ravioli with a lamb ragù, and loin of venison in a porcini mushroom crust.

At Col Margherita, perched at 2,550 meters and accessible by cable car in winter (departing from Moena via Passo San Pellegrino), a new ski bar bears the signature of Alfio Ghezzi. The menu favors Alpine traditions, though a more elaborate, creative selection showcases several not-to-be-missed dishes from the chef. In warmer months, the venue is also reachable on foot or − for the more athletic − by bicycle (two charging stations available for e-bikes).

Located at 2,500 meters, InAlto Alfio Ghezzi offers regional cuisine blending tradition with modern techniques. Reviews highlight high-quality ingredients, elegant presentation, and stunning Dolomite views. However, service is inconsistent; while some praise the professional staff, others report rudeness, ignored orders, and refusal to serve drinks-only customers. Value is debated, with some finding prices high relative to portions or expectations. It is not a typical mountain hut, catering instead to diners seeking a refined culinary experience rather than simple snacks.
Suitable for diners seeking high-quality cuisine and mountain views, with managed expectations regarding service consistency and pricing.
€€€Farm to table, Seasonal Cuisine
The romantic lakeside location is an attraction in itself – here on the shore of Tristachersee, the dedicated Kreuzer family run both the lovely hotel and the restaurant. The dining space is inviting; the winter garden extending out over the water is wonderful – in summer it gets turned into a terrace! The menu draws on good-quality, mostly local produce – char, trout, Danube salmon etc are from their own fish ponds nearby. They serve various set menus and an à la carte selection. The hotel also has its own spring water, which is offered free of charge throughout the premises.
€€€International
The fine dining restaurant of the Dolomitengolf Suites hotel has a modern and elegant feel. Through the large windows facing the terrace, feast your eyes on views of the golf course and mountains. The menu sees regional ingredients combined with international influences, as in, for example, "beef tartare, chive mayonnaise, radishes, focaccia" or "truffle tagliatelle, baby spinach, pickled egg yolk". Friendly and knowledgeable service.
€€€Fusion, Creative
In his small open-view kitchen situated in the centre of this restaurant, chef Bacher Burkhard develops his vision of fusion cuisine with energy and precision, combining flavours from Italy and the Alto Adige with Asian spices and techniques to create delicious and imaginative dishes. His tuna tataki is superb, seasoned with salty lemon oil and accompanied by intriguing bitter herbs that (as Professor Montanari has noted in a recent book) are particularly popular with Italians. The chef’s wife Annelies works front of house, where she looks after guests in a friendly and professional manner.

On the outskirts of Weyer, this farmstead, the presence of which was first documented in 1130, lies at the start of the Habach Valley. It has been owned by the Meilinger family since 1832, and today the hotel and restaurant are in the capable hands of siblings Elisabeth and Franz Meilinger Jr. The chef and his team cook up traditional regional cuisine with seasonal influences, served either à la carte or as a tasting menu, and accompanied by an all-Austrian wine list. A five- or seven-course surprise menu is available Fri-Mon by pre-booking (one day in advance). The cosy space with a beautiful

In a former Alpine dairy on the slopes overlooking Moena, romance continues in the wood-clad dining room complete with fireplace, complemented by a small panoramic veranda. Yet the cuisine here is no mere afterthought: hearty, predominantly mountain fare, almost exclusively meat, is of excellent quality. With limited seating, reservations are recommended.
