A restaurant
immersed in nature

Nestled in the mountains of Centovalli, in the heart of the village of Bordei, Osteria Giardino is a place where cuisine is nourished by nature, respect and beauty. The menu is crafted by Pietro Leemann, a pioneer of vegetarian gourmet cooking and advocate of an ethical and mindful approach to food. Each dish tells the story of the land: organic ingredients, local kitchen gardens, creativity and ever-changing seasons.

Vegetarian
mountain cuisine

The menu at Osteria Giardino is inspired by the rhythm of nature and the simplicity of ingredients. At lunch (Tuesday to Friday) guests can choose from an à la carte menu designed for passing visitors. In the evenings and at weekends, a tasting menu is served, featuring plant-based harmonies and local surprises. All ingredients are organic and, where possible, grown in Bordei.
