Nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, Villa Oretta celebrates culinary tradition with a dish that has become a true emblem of its cuisine: the Chateaubriand.
This prized cut of meat, beloved by connoisseurs, is reinterpreted with the mastery and elegance that define the restaurant. The signature touch of Villa Oretta’s version is the delicate speck wrapping — a tribute to the authentic flavors of the Dolomites. The speck preserves the meat’s juiciness while infusing it with a subtle smoky aroma, enhancing every nuanced flavor.
The secret to its perfect texture lies in a dual cooking technique that combines grilling and oven-roasting. The result is a Chateaubriand that is crisp on the outside yet incredibly tender and melt-in-the-mouth inside. Such artisanal care produces the full, harmonious taste that makes this dish a truly unique gastronomic experience in Cortina.
A creamy, velvety Béarnaise sauce completes the plate, elegantly balancing the richness of the meat and the aromatic character of the speck. The outcome is a symphony of flavors, crafted for those who appreciate gourmet cuisine and seek an authentic, refined dining experience.
At Villa Oretta, the Chateaubriand is more than a dish — it is a sensory journey, where tradition meets innovation, to be savored in an elegant setting with breathtaking views of the Dolomites.
