The restaurant has no overnight accommodations but serves hot meals daily between 9 AM and 5:30 PM. It is wise to make a reservation ahead of time during busy periods to ensure you get a table.
Despite its high mountain location, the restaurant serves fish dishes from Grado lagoon, creating an unexpected culinary experience at elevation. This choice shows the connection between the Dolomites and the coastal regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
