Care Meets Simplicity
“There are experiences that cannot be told, but must be lived”
Al Pedén is not just any restaurant. It is a quiet place, hidden among the woods of Valmorel along the road that leads to Melere, where you eat slowly and feel welcome without formality. Here, you come to eat well... but above all to feel good.
It is the type of cuisine that leaves an impression due to its balance, the clarity of flavors, and the quality of the ingredients. And for the atmosphere: simple yet rich in details.
A Few More Details That Make the Difference
Al Pedén is the product of a long family experience spanning three generations. Massimo, the owner, learned to cook by observing the skillful hands of his mother and grandmother, continuing that tradition of respect for what the territory offers.
The menu is seasonal, based on what the mountain has to offer. Each dish is prepared with selected ingredients, many of which come from local producers: from artisan cured meats to cheeses from the Latteria Turnaria. Each course pays homage to the culinary culture of the area, and aims to enhance the highest quality raw materials. Game and wild herbs, in particular, are highlighted with fine wines, oils, salts, and peppers from around the world, showcasing the chef's curiosity to experiment.
Massimo’s cuisine is eclectic and authentic, made in a simple yet never banal way: just like him, a restaurateur always buzzing with activity and a great lover of good food!
In fact, his menu changes constantly, ensuring freshness and quality, because he wants to offer an experience worth living at a leisurely pace.
The venue is open all year round and primarily operates on reservation, especially for dinner. The price range is medium-high compared to Valmorel, but it is proportionate to the quality and research behind each dish.
Al Pedén is a restaurant different from others: it is a small, secluded place dedicated to those who truly love to eat. Everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail, ensuring proper attention to every guest, who will feel at home (just more pampered). To future customers: “Prepare for a journey through the flavors of Belluno's tradition, enhanced by Massimo's innovation.”
