Starters
Begin your meal with artful starters that showcase creativity and refined taste. Indulge in the delicate goat ricotta spheres infused with white truffle and accompanied by sesame, marinated kale, aged balsamic drops, and dried black cabbage powder. Alternatively, savor the tender veal sweetbreads served on rosemary lentil hummus with a vibrant pomegranate reduction, or experience the rich flavors of foie gras terrine paired with caramelized onion jam and currant brioche. For a refreshing twist, the venison tartare prepared ceviche-style with juniper oil, pickled vegetables, lichen, and birch mayonnaise offers a bold start.
Mains
The main courses at Camana Veglia combine alpine tradition with modern flair. Delight in the saffron-infused Bottoni pasta filled with ossobuco and accented by gremolata powder. The spelt linguine with sautéed baby squid, Jerusalem artichoke foam, and ginger delivers a seafood elegance with a hint of earthiness. The bergamot risotto topped with trout tartare and savoy cabbage pesto is a fragrant, refreshing choice. For richer tastes, the honey-glazed duck breast with rose hip sauce and potatoes, or the local beef sirloin accompanied by roasted artichokes and tarragon sauce, offer hearty, refined options. Other highlights include monkfish medallions with dill, white miso cream, and fennel, as well as venison sirloin enhanced by mountain gin sauce and glazed carrots. The foamy onion soup served with croutons and bay leaves provides a comforting alpine classic.
Desserts
End your dining experience with a selection of artisanal desserts that balance tradition and innovation. Sample the chestnut cake accompanied by zabaglione chantilly and fresh fruit or delight in the deconstructed ricotta cannoli with chocolate chips, candied orange, and pistachio. The vegan tart with soy cream, prickly pear gelée, nuts, and fresh fruit offers a plant-based indulgence. Other temptations include the Rocher featuring mascarpone cream, licorice, and strawberry gelée; the Saint Honoré with puff pastry, milk and chocolate cream, and caramelized choux; the pine cone dessert with hazelnut Bavarian cream, caramel toffee, and coffee ganache; and a cheese selection of local and international varieties served with honey and homemade jams.
