"Waterside" Restaurants in Canton of Ticino
Marco Campanella's cooking at La Brezza is as individual as it is confident. His menus - "Ispirazione" or the plant-based "Moving Mountains" - are well thought out and full of character. It is impressive how Campanella manages to show such a clear signature at such a young age.
Villa Emden on Brissago Island is an exceptional place: surrounded by lush nature, the terrace offers a view over Lake Maggiore. The cuisine is based on regional produce, presented in a modern way and perfectly complements the paradisiacal surroundings.
Ariva serves creative, mainly Mediterranean cuisine in stylish surroundings. The location is a big plus. The name says it all - stunning food is served right on the lakeshore. The accompaniment by the glass is largely based on Italian tradition.
The wonderful location with a view of the lake is just one reason why a visit to Al Lago is worthwhile. You can enjoy contemporary Mediterranean cuisine in the beautiful castle garden or in the spacious dining room. This can be ordered as a tasting menu or à la carte.
High above the casino, the Seven offers spectacular panoramic views of the city, lake and hills. The gastronomic focus is on quality ingredients for creative classic variations. The excellent sushi is a welcome extra. The perfect place for a business lunch or date.
The view of the lake is hard to beat, the terrace has flair and the menu highlights Ticino traditions and Mediterranean flavours. If only the variety didn't cause so much agony of choice! Burrata ravioli or mussel pasta? Both are best!
This modern spot masterfully celebrates Asia's gastronomic diversity. Here, crispy teppanyaki meets delicate sushi, powerful Thai curries and steamed dim sum. A feast for all those who love the vibrant flavours of the Far East.
Fish and seafood are celebrated at the Riva in Ascona. Mediterranean delicacies are skilfully conjured up here from fresh daily catches from the lake and sea. But meat lovers are not neglected either. The direct lakeside location also ensures a good atmosphere.
Simply take a deep breath and unwind. The Osteria Boato is located directly on the waterfront promenade and serves fish specialities from the lake and sea. The fish dishes for two or the delicious fritto misto are popular. A wide range of dishes for vegetarians.
This Ascona spot overlooking the lake hits the spot: authentic wood-fired pizza, good pasta and burgers. The whole thing is topped off with premium gelato. Straightforward - and flawlessly executed. Whether for lunch or a family dinner, there's something here for everyone.
The warm hospitality is just as appreciated as the location with its spectacular view over Lake Maggiore. Exquisitely prepared dishes from Ticino cuisine with a touch of Italianità are served. Very fine selection of Ticino wines.
