The story

SanBrite, Cortina d'Ampezzo: Alpine Cooking and a Michelin Star

SanBrite is an Alpine restaurant at Località Alverà 200/E in Cortina d'Ampezzo, and the Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026. The cooking starts with the family's own land and animals.

Cooking from the family land

The story page traces the menu back to a family farm, its barns and its animals. Milk is drawn in the morning, and the chef describes creating the ingredients first and composing each dish afterward. Pine and goat recur in his own account of the cooking, which he frames as a way of celebrating his land through food.

Room, seasons and events

Guests can book lunch in the vegetable garden or at high altitude, or order a picnic and cheeses. Gambero Rosso gave the restaurant two forks in 2022, and the modern cuisine on the menu now carries the Michelin star. The Genesis event, organized as four days built around earth, water, fire and air, shows how the kitchen thinks about the elements.
