Bar Belen In Lavarone

31/10/2025: Beautiful, fantastic staff, great food, highly recommended

28/10/2025: A Wonderful Dining Experience – Exceptional Food and Hospitality We arrived after a long bike ride, still in full gear and outside the official opening hours, and asked if the kitchen was still open. After a quick check, the staff kindly agreed to serve us — and from that moment on, everything was simply fantastic. We started with homemade bread in four different colors, served with matching spreads — already worth mentioning on their own. The amuse-bouche, saffron rice fritters on olive paste, was a promising start. The following dishes were outstanding: ravioli filled with cod and tagliatelle with shrimp — both perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The octopus on lemon purée was tender and beautifully balanced, while the seared tuna with braised fennel and seasoned spinach was nothing short of a revelation. Dessert was another highlight: the tiramisu struck a perfect balance between the cream and soaked biscuits — not too watery, not too dry — easily one of the best we’ve ever had. The staff were incredibly friendly and even stayed open a little longer so we could enjoy our late lunch at 4 p.m. As a charming final gesture, we received the cookies served with our coffee as a small package to take with us. Prices were absolutely fair for the quality and generous portions. Many restaurants charge similar prices for food that’s nowhere near as refined. In short: a truly memorable experience — from the warm welcome to the very last bite.
