A Lakeside Stage for Culinary Art

The heartbeat of Port Gitana is its signature restaurant, a celebration of the region’s seasonal bounty. Freshwater fish drawn daily from the lake, organic vegetables from local farms, and Alpine cheeses and wines create a menu rooted in place yet refined in execution. Diners can linger on sun-drenched terraces that almost float above the water or inside chic interiors that echo the lake’s silvery hues.

For more casual moments, a stylish bar and lounge offers inventive cocktails and artisanal small plates, while a waterfront café tempts with delicate breakfasts and indulgent pastries. Every bite reflects a deep commitment to freshness and sustainability—qualities that resonate with today’s discerning gastronomic traveler.

Design that Frames the Landscape

Port Gitana’s architecture and interiors are a study in balance: historic lakeside structures thoughtfully restored and seamlessly linked to new, light-filled spaces. Natural stone, warm woods, and soft metallics invite touch and comfort, while floor-to-ceiling windows pull the lake right into the room. Sculptural furniture and curated artworks lend a cosmopolitan polish, making each space a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

A Full-Sensory Destination

More than a place to dine, Port Gitana is designed as a complete experience. Guests may arrive by boat at the private jetty, sip an aperitif while the sunset paints the Alps, or unwind in spa-like wellness corners. Each season brings its own mood—breezy lakeside lunches in summer, fireside tasting menus when the snow falls—ensuring that every visit feels unique.
