The best restaurants Belgirate

This excellent restaurant facing the lake in the charming village of Lesa is famous for its fish specialties. This address, which is a favourite haunt of Lake Maggiore residents, is far from the tourist attractions of the area. Raw fish, fish risotto, with almonds and dried figs: the cuisine is refined and made with fresh, top-quality products. Don't hesitate to ask the boss for advice and he will be able to give you ideas for specialities and wine. The place is often crowded in the evening, so it's best to book in advance. Good value for money.

A unique location for the Hotel Milano restaurant in Belgirate, much appreciated by regulars. A beautiful glass-walled terrace overlooking the lake allows you to dine or lunch while contemplating the Borromean Islands. The cuisine is a veritable voyage through regional specialties served with talent and savoir-faire. The fillet of salmerino (freshwater fish) au gratin is one of the best in the region. In terms of specialties, don't hesitate to try the lake trout ravioli with an aromatic herb sauce, a real treat.
