The Top 100 Places to Eat Near SanBrite

  1. Rank 1. SanBrite

    Alpine Italian

    Waiters arrive in procession carrying mountains of creamy butter, served with bread before anything else has happened, which sets the tone for what SanBrite is doing. This one-Michelin-star dining room in the Dolomites has just a handful of tables, recycled wood on the walls, and a window framing the Ampezzo peaks. The kitchen draws on home-produced and regional mountain ingredients, with desserts that skip added sugar entirely.



  2. Tucked into a small larch wood on the road to Passo Tre Croci, this agriturismo sits among the Dolomites and runs its own stable on the property. The restaurant leans hard into Alpine tradition: house-made charcuterie and aged cheeses share the table with creamy butter, local herbs, and berries foraged nearby. The kind of place where the ingredient list is basically a hike you could take after lunch.


  3. Rank 4. Ristorante de LEN

    Alpine Italian


  4. Rank 5. Tivoli

    Modern Italian

    An Alpine chalet on the road to the Falzarego pass, with the Tofane peaks filling the window if you remembered to ask for one of the two tables by the glass when you booked. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining room where the chef moves between mountain tradition and more inventive territory, sourcing fish daily from the Venice and Chioggia markets while the wine cellar runs deep into historic French bottles. Cortina's well-heeled skiers tend to fill it without much fuss.


  5. Rank 6. Baita Fraina

    Regional Austrian



  6. A villa that once housed a textile factory still keeps an early-20th-century fabric sample book on the central table, which sets the tone for a restaurant that takes its surroundings seriously. Norbert Niederkofler's "Cook the Mountain" tasting menu pulls entirely from the alpine valleys around Brunico, courses shifting with whatever the season actually offers. Three Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list, ranked 20th.


  7. A glass and steel cube sitting in the old Grand Hotel gardens in Dobbiaco, Tilia holds a Michelin star and just five tables, so booking before you travel is non-negotiable. The chef sources flour and meat from a childhood friend's farm nearby, then pulls in caviar and truffles when the mood strikes, making the menu feel grounded and quietly extravagant at once. Twelve seats means the room is either full or it isn't.


  8. Rank 10. Porcino

    Creative Mediterranean

    Glass walls on three sides put the Dolomites in the room whether you ordered them or not. This is a Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant inside a hotel in Badia, where the chef runs two menus, one chasing the season and one chasing his own ideas, often pulling from a kitchen garden and local Wagyu. Mountain cooking with Mediterranean instincts, worked into dishes that take their time. The views do too.


  9. A wood-paneled stube inside the La Perla hotel, all warm timber and candlelight, sets up exactly the cozy Alpine dining room you'd expect in Corvara, and then the food goes somewhere else entirely. The chef grew up in Calabria and spent years cooking in Japan, and those two poles show up on the plate in ways that feel considered rather than restless. The kitchen leans toward vegetables. One Michelin star.


  10. Rank 12. Suinsom

    Mediterranean Italian

    Suinsom means "at the top" in Ladin, and the name doubles as a quiet statement of intent. This Michelin-starred fine dining room in the Dolomites wraps guests in pale wood stube while the kitchen, rooted in the chef's Tuscan background, drifts toward the Mediterranean and beyond. The wine list is organized by grape variety, which tells you something about the crowd that fills these tables. Dress accordingly.


  11. The dining room leans minimalist and intimate, a quiet contrast to the alpine grandeur just outside the windows. This is the fine dining restaurant inside one of Val Gardena's most lavish hotels, holding a Michelin star for the chef's habit of threading Dolomite tradition through a Southern Italian sensibility. Tasting menus anchor the format, though you can pick from them à la carte if committing to a full journey feels like too much of a commitment.


  12. Rank 14. Gannerhof

    Regional Austrian

    Sitting at around 1,400 metres in the Austrian Alps, this Michelin-starred farmhouse restaurant is the kind of place that makes the drive feel preordained. Three old timber farmhouses surround a kitchen garden, and the dining rooms lean into the setting without trying too hard. The seven-course menu takes regional ingredients somewhere unexpected, and the bread comes from flour milled on the property, which is either charming or showing off, possibly both.



  13. Rank 16. Cocun Cellar Restaurant

    Contemporary Italian


  14. Rank 17. Durnwald

    Austrian

    A plate of Schlutzkrapfen, the spinach-and-ricotta ravioli of Alto Adige, arrives after you've earned it on the slopes or the trail. This is a traditional regional restaurant in the Val Casies that takes its local roots seriously, with mountain views framing the dining room and a menu that hasn't forgotten what it's supposed to be. The owner runs the floor himself, steering you through the wine list with the ease of someone who actually cares. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  15. A modern Stube tucked beside a hotel entrance in the center of Ortisei, with round tables, large windows, and a summer terrace looking out over the small town. The kitchen leans on Alto Adige tradition but lets in fish, seafood, and ingredients from further afield, keeping things lighter than the alpine norm. The chef holds a Michelin star and has made the duck a reason to pay attention. Butter and sugar take a back seat here, which is a rare position in the Dolomites.



  16. A cable car gets you here for lunch; a snowcat gets you home after dinner, which should tell you something about how seriously the Dolomites take atmosphere. Despite the name, this is a proper alpine restaurant, not a hiker's hut, and the menu knows it: hearty mountain staples share space with modern dishes and, somehow, oysters. Evening service slows down enough to match the scenery.


  17. Rank 21. Ladinia

    Contemporary Italian


  18. The large wooden bar anchors this all-day bistro inside the La Perla hotel, where the bartenders keep busy from aperitivo hour well into dinner. Mountain lodge décor leans cheerful rather than rustic-chic, and live music fills the room most evenings. The menu runs through the familiar notes of Italian tradition, and the wine list is serious enough to keep a sommelier quiet for a while.



  19. Rank 24. Maso Runch-Hof

    South Tyrolean Italian

    A farmhouse restaurant set in the woods above Pedraces, Maso Runch-Hof serves Ladin home cooking in snug, wood-paneled Stube rooms on a single tasting menu. The kitchen leans into the local pantry with spinach-filled cajinci t'ega, pork ribs with polenta, and apple strudel, and the short wine list stays just as regional. A handful of chalets on the property means you can eat like this, then sleep here too.



  20. A cable-car ride, or a ski-in if you planned ahead, lands you at this lunch-only fine dining room perched above Corvara with floor-to-ceiling views of Sassongher and La Varella doing most of the decorating. The cooking is modern and quietly ambitious, pairing Alpine ingredients with fresh seafood in a way that feels pleasantly unexpected at altitude. Minimalist inside, maximalist outside.



  21. Rank 28. Schöneck

    Alto Adige Italian

    A piano in front of the bar sets the tone at this Michelin-starred restaurant in South Tyrol, where wood-paneled Stube rooms and a shaded summer terrace frame cooking that hasn't chased a trend in decades. The kitchen leans into Alto Adige classics, built on locally sourced ingredients and prepared with the kind of quiet confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. The wine list is serious enough to deserve its own attention.



  22. You reach this mountain restaurant by cable car from Riscone, then on foot through the snow, which sets expectations appropriately. Norbert Niederkofler's "Cook the Mountain" philosophy means the seasonal Alpine menu wastes nothing and imports nothing it doesn't have to. The five tables with the view go to tasting-menu guests, booked well ahead. The last cable car down leaves at 5pm, so yes, plan accordingly.



  23. Rank 32. Lerchner's In Runggen

    South Tyrolean Italian

    The beef on your plate was raised on the farm next door, which sets the tone for this cozy South Tyrolean restaurant in the Val Pusteria hills. The menu runs through regional classics like Gröstl and rye fritters, with generous portions or smaller "Tyrolean tapas" if you'd rather graze. The wine list stays firmly local, the bread is made in-house, and the apple strudel is non-negotiable. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.



  24. Rank 34. Rifugio Fuciade

    Alpine Italian

    A mountain pasture for centuries before it became a dining room, Rifugio Fuciade sits in the Dolomites with the Costabella chain as a backdrop and Pale di San Martino dissolving into the distance. The menu reads like a regional field guide, canederli, veal stew with polenta, chanterelle mushrooms, the kind of Alpine cooking that makes sense when snow is involved. A wine cellar with over 600 labels, and rooms if you'd rather not drive back down.



  25. Up to eight guests share one long table pulled right up to the kitchen pass, which tells you everything about the format here. This is an intimate tasting-menu restaurant in the Austrian Tirol where a surprise menu of four to seven courses is the only option, built entirely from ingredients sourced nearby. The cooking is precise and quietly ambitious, and the front-of-house warmth makes the whole thing feel less like a performance than a dinner party.



  26. Rank 38. Alla Locanda

    Contemporary Italian



  27. Three dining rooms, each done in a completely different register, share a roof inside Hotel Strasserwirt. This is a regional set-menu restaurant where the Swiss stone pine panelling in one room gives way to handmade emerald-green floor tiles in the next, and exposed stone walls in a third. Up to five courses pull from the surrounding landscape, with char, wild mushrooms, and foraged herbs doing most of the work. Old-school Alpine dining, taken seriously.


  28. Rank 41. Gassenwirt

    South Tyrolean Italian


  29. Rank 42. Tubladel

    Alpine Italian



  30. Sitting at the base of a ski slope in a small Tyrolean village, this hotel restaurant earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand with seasonal alpine cooking that draws non-guests in from the cold. The room is cheerful and modern without the usual antler overload. Lunch and dinner run à la carte, and evenings bring an optional multi-course surprise menu of regionally inspired dishes. The kind of place that makes you reconsider your early departure.


  31. Rank 45. Tanzer

    Modern Austrian


  32. Rank 46. Das Pfleger

    Modern Austrian

    Perched above 1,200 metres on the Val Pusteria scenic road, this alpine restaurant in a family-run hotel earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand for seasonal regional cooking with a quiet modern touch. The terrace looks out over the Dolomites and Carnic Alps, which does a lot of the work before anyone's even ordered. Dinner runs either à la carte or a four-to-five course surprise menu; Sundays bring a shorter lunch.


  33. Twelve apostle statuettes watch over a four-table dining room inside a hotel that has been around forever, which lends the whole experience a pleasantly surreal weight. This is a fine-dining tasting menu restaurant, and chef Mathias Bachmann's cooking pulls from global technique with a particular lean toward Japan, then lands it somewhere unmistakably alpine. The service team will also tell you, with evident delight, about the elephant. It holds a Michelin star.


  34. A glass-walled Alpine dining room suspended above Moena with the whole Val di Fassa spread out below you, which does raise the question of how much attention you'll pay to the plate. The answer is quite a lot, since this Michelin-starred restaurant trades in creative, territory-rooted cuisine that quietly outpaces its postcard setting. The wine list leans into local terroir with some care. An old mountain dairy it once was; the only remnant now is the name.



  35. Rank 50. Dolada

    Italian

    A Michelin-starred dining room perched above Lake Santa Croce, where the De Pra family has been cooking mountain food for generations. Game, mushrooms, and freshwater fish come from the surrounding hills and the kitchen's own garden, prepared with enough restraint that you can taste where you are. An open fireplace does real cooking duty. The room mixes antique furniture with clean modern lines, and the views through the windows do half the work before the food arrives.


  36. Rank 51. Alla Pace

    Friulian Italian


  37. Rank 52. Mondschein

    Alpine Italian

    A family-run restaurant tucked into the Dolomite valley of Sappada, where the kitchen leans hard into the forest around it, wild game, mountain herbs, and whatever the season allows. The wine cellar, called KAVEAU, is the kind of room that turns a bottle of something regional into an event. The crowd tends toward people who planned the drive, not stumbled in. Michelin has it in the Guide.


  38. Rank 53. Agritur El Mas

    Alpine Italian

    The cows, horses, and pigs outside are not decorative; they end up on the plate, as charcuterie, braised stews, and cheese dumplings made with the farm's own production. This agriturismo above Moena is the working-farm-restaurant in full Alpine earnest, with antique wood furnishings and a brazier anchoring the dining room. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks for a place this straightforwardly good at what it does.


  39. Rank 54. Ostaria Tyrol

    Regional Italian



  40. Rank 56. Kircherhof

    Alpine Austrian

    An old farmstead in Albes where the family pivoted from growing produce to cooking it, and the kitchen still works almost entirely with organic, local ingredients. It's a sit-down restaurant with a contemporary Alpine menu: colorful plates, generous portions, and an all-female front-of-house team genuinely happy to walk you through the philosophy. There's also a small shop on the way out, which is dangerous if you arrived on an empty stomach.




  41. Walls lined floor to ceiling with bottles give Vitis the feel of a very stylish cellar someone forgot to close up. It's a wine bar in the old center of Brixen, where low tables, armchairs, and bar stools share space without committing to any one vibe. The kitchen leans contemporary, with generous small plates that land somewhere between South Tyrolean and European without making a fuss about it.


  42. Rank 60. Oste Scuro - Finsterwirt

    Traditional Mediterranean

    Tucked into a narrow alley near the Duomo, this old-school trattoria has been feeding Bressanone locals for generations, its dining rooms dressed in historic dark wood with a terrace that fills up the moment summer arrives. The kitchen straddles South Tyrolean and Mediterranean traditions, turning out tasting menus alongside à la carte options, with Tirtl, a fried ricotta and spinach pastry, among the dishes regulars tend to order without consulting the menu.


  43. Rank 61. Foresta

    Regional Italian



  44. Rank 63. Alpenrose

    Regional Mediterranean


  45. Two of the dining room tables sit directly in front of a working fireplace, and regulars know to book those first. This Michelin-starred inn in the Alpago hills has been around forever, run by the same family across several generations, and the kitchen still leans on regional ingredients before adding any modern flourish. There's a more polished room for those who want it, a solid wine list, and a handful of guestrooms upstairs if the drive back feels ambitious.


  46. A country inn in the Alpago hills where the lamb on your plate was raised on the family's own farm nearby. The kitchen leans into the Venetian seasons, keeping things classic with just enough modern instinct to feel considered rather than dusty. When the weather cooperates, the terrace catches the sunset over the valley in a way that makes it hard to leave. An old-school family operation, the women of the house having kept it going for generations.


  47. Rank 66. Der Unterwirt

    Mediterranean

    The wood paneling in the more romantic of the two Stube dining rooms has been here since the 13th century, which puts the candlelight in perspective. This is a family-run restaurant in a private house in the South Tyrolean hills, where the chef works Mediterranean influences and a strong lean toward fish into the local Alto Adige framework. A summer terrace and a handful of guestrooms round things out if you'd rather not drive back down.


  48. Rank 67. Terracotta

    Contemporary Italian


  49. Rank 68. Al Borgo

    Regional Italian


  50. A Michelin-starred dining room inside the Engel resort in the Dolomites, where wood, stone, and local materials give the space a warmth that doesn't feel designed to death. The chef's table doubles as a spot for aperitifs served by the chef personally, which sets the tone: attentive without being stiff. The kitchen leans into alpine ingredients and seasonal vegetables with enough technique to make the restraint feel intentional. The sommelier knows the regional wine list cold.


  51. A castle in the middle of a small South Tyrolean village that somehow runs two dining rooms with completely different personalities. Stain is the wood-paneled Tyrolean stube side, with regional cooking and terrace tables when the weather cooperates. La Lumosa seats four tables and leans into a five or six course contemporary tasting menu. Twelve suites upstairs mean you don't have to figure out the drive home.


  52. Rank 71. Ansitz 12

    Seasonal Austrian

    The open fire in the kitchen is doing real work here, not just ambience. Tucked inside an old inn near the Pfarrbrücke in Lienz, this Michelin-starred restaurant runs on regional Austrian ingredients, wood smoke, and sauces that taste like they simmered longer than your flight here. The chef trained under some serious names before coming home to cook tasting menus of four, six, or seven courses in vaulted, stove-warmed rooms.


  53. Five tables in a medieval wood-paneled Stube inside a hotel that's been a post house forever. This intimate, Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in South Tyrol lets you choose four, five, or six courses from a single creative menu that moves across meat, fish, and vegetables. The hotel has rooms upstairs, which is convenient when the wine list starts feeling very persuasive.


  54. The floor of a seventeenth-century mill creaks underfoot as you settle in, which sets the mood for what Alessandro Gilmozzi is doing in Cavalese. This is a Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant where alpine foraging is taken seriously: lichens, barks, resins, and local herbs appear alongside game and freshwater fish, with smoking techniques that suggest the kitchen is part apothecary. The mountains outside aren't scenery here; they're the menu.


  55. Rank 74. Indiniò

    Regional Italian


  56. Rank 75. Saluti

    Modern Pizza

    The menu moves from wood-fired pizza to pigeon royale without blinking, which tells you something about the kitchen's ambitions. This is a relaxed restaurant in Matrei that earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand running a menu that spans Italian classics and more involved Alpine plates. The terrace is small but lovely, the wine list is well chosen, and the whole thing sits, delightfully, next to a tennis centre. Book ahead.


  57. The winter garden juts out over Tristachersee on stilts, so in calm weather you're essentially eating on the water. This hotel restaurant leans hard into the setting: the char, trout, and Danube salmon come from the family's own fish ponds nearby, and the kitchen builds seasonal menus around mostly local produce. A glass of their own spring water arrives gratis, which is a quietly charming touch for a place that could easily coast on the view.


  58. The road up to 1622 metres through beech and fir woods is doing half the work before you even sit down. This two-Michelin-star creative restaurant sits on a sunny alpine pasture with Dolomite views, where the family runs an elaborate tasting menu out of a converted mountain chalet. The cooking leans into the landscape, pulling foraged and regional ingredients into dishes that look like they took an art degree to plate.


  59. The name nods to the year the surrounding hotel opened, and the room leans into that Liberty-era design, but the cooking is firmly now. This contemporary restaurant in Soprabolzano runs a tasting menu built around Alto Adige produce, including Wagyu beef raised on the chef's home turf in the Renon region. A wine list of nearly 400 regional labels gives the kitchen a lot to work with, and non-alcoholic pairings are taken just as seriously.


  60. Rank 79. Eggentaler

    Steakhouse

    The charcoal grill has been the main attraction at this old-school South Tyrolean restaurant since long before anyone eating there was born. The Schmieder family has run it for decades, and the smoke-kissed meats are still the reason to come, though the kitchen also moves through Italian seafood and land dishes with quiet confidence. A family member curates the wine list personally, which shows. It sits just off the Bolzano highway, convenient in the way that only truly committed restaurants can be.


  61. Old paintings, wood panelling, and a tiled stove set the mood at this refined regional restaurant in the Austrian Alps, where the Obwexer family has run the room with quiet conviction for longer than anyone needs to count. The menu moves between Tyrolean classics and more ambitious plates, and the owner brings the same enthusiasm to the wine list, steering regulars toward Austrian, Italian, and French producers they hadn't considered ordering.


  62. Rank 81. Gasthofstube Stafler

    Tyrolean Austrian


  63. A chalet fireplace that smells of woodsmoke in a village so small you'll question your GPS twice sets the scene for this traditional Italian osteria. The kitchen follows the mountain calendar closely, moving from wild herbs in spring to woodland fruits in autumn. One tasting menu, booked at least two days ahead, which is either charming or inconvenient depending on your travel style.



  64. Rank 84. Vögele

    Regional Austrian


  65. Rank 85. Frosch Restaurant

    Contemporary Italian



  66. Rank 87. Osteria Acquarol

    Alpine Italian

    A one-Michelin-star osteria on a pedestrianized street in the South Tyrol, with a spare, almost bare interior and a few outdoor tables when the season allows. The kitchen gardens behind the restaurant drive the menus, and the Alpine herbs and vegetables grown there show up in modern tasting menus that read like a quiet argument for the region. Chef Alessandro Bellingeri is from Cremona, which makes his obvious devotion to Trentino all the more pointed.


  67. Rank 88. Zur Rose

    Alto Adige Italian

    The dining room dates to the 14th century, and the name above the door has been there since before anyone's great-great-grandmother was born. Zur Rose is a fine-dining restaurant on the South Tyrolean Wine Road, where the kitchen, now a father-and-son operation, runs a seasonal tasting menu rooted in Alto Adige tradition. A vegetarian menu runs alongside it. One Michelin star.


  68. Rank 89. La Primula

    Modern Italian

    A majestic fireplace anchors the dining room of this one-Michelin-star restaurant in the Magredi countryside, an old-school institution run by the Canton family for generations. The kitchen moves between land and sea with a modern hand, while the wine cellar is the kind of thing sommeliers text each other about: serious depth, reasonable mark-ups, and thoughtful pours by the glass. An informal osteria in the same building handles lunch if you want to ease in gently.


  69. Five generations of women have kept this inn on the Altopiano del Salto plateau running, which gives the kitchen a confidence that no restaurant group can manufacture. It's a traditional South Tyrolean trattoria, the kind where home-produced ingredients and generous portions are the whole argument. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and you can borrow a Haflinger horse afterward, which is not something many restaurants can offer.


  70. Rank 91. Loewengrube

    Modern Alpine Italian




  71. The Liberty-style dining room inside Parkhotel Laurin turns lunch into a minor occasion, and the garden tables under old trees make summer in Bolzano feel earned. The cooking is rooted in Italian tradition with detours into modern technique, so you'll find local South Tyrolean specialities alongside dishes that borrow ideas from further afield. Jacket optional, but the room will make you wish you'd tried a little harder.


  72. Wood-panelled walls, just a handful of tables, and a kitchen team that occasionally delivers plates themselves: this Michelin-starred dining room inside the Alpenhof hotel manages to feel like a standalone restaurant rather than a hotel add-on. Chef Maximilian Stock runs a four-to-six-course set menu rooted in alpine produce, and the front-of-house is the kind of unhurried, quietly competent operation that makes a long dinner feel like the obvious choice.


  73. Rank 96. Zur Kaiserkron

    Modern Mediterranean

    Vaulted ceilings inside a grand old palazzo on Bolzano's main piazza set the stage for a restaurant that runs two distinct modes under one roof. Lunch leans casual and regional, riffing on South Tyrolean flavors with a lighter touch, while the gilded back dining room is where the chef gets serious, offering a full gastronomic tasting experience. Dressing up is not required, but the gilded room will make you wish you had.


  74. The terrace at this one-Michelin-star restaurant hangs above the valley outside Merano like a particularly smug hawk, and on a clear day the view threatens to upstage the food. Chef Egon Heiss runs a single tasting menu of creative Alpine cooking, built around the castle's kitchen garden and mountain producers nearby. Char, trout, wild game, and local lamb appear in near-permanent rotation, dressed up in ways that justify the drive through the woods to get here.


  75. Rank 98. Aurora

    Modern Italian



  76. Rank 100. Piccerè

    Neapolitan Pizza

    A Neapolitan pizza spot a short walk from the Bolzano train station, decorated in blues that have clearly committed to a maritime theme despite being about as far from the sea as Italy allows. The high-crusted pies are made with quality ingredients, and the fried Neapolitan sides have their own following. There's a garden out back for anyone who prefers to eat al fresco, dogs included.
