Taverna Kus Restaurant

In the village of San Zeno di Montagna, overlooking the upper shore of Lake Garda, Taverna Kus Restaurant occupies the rooms of a 17th-century building with stone vaults and terracotta details. The atmosphere blends elegance and warmth: well-spaced tables, soft lighting and windows opening onto the lake panorama.

The cuisine is rooted in the local territory and has two souls: a seasonal themed tasting menu, where every dish tells the story of an ingredient from Lake Garda and the Lessinia plateau, and a broader à la carte selection alternating freshwater fish, mountain-valley meat and classics of the Venetian tradition. The autumn proposal, built entirely around chestnut, is one of the most anticipated culinary events of the year.

The wine list brings together labels from the Verona and Lake Garda area, from Bardolino to Custoza, from Valpolicella to Amarone, alongside a curated national selection designed to accompany the tasting menu. Service is attentive and well paced throughout the meal, with staff who know the dishes and wines on the list in depth.

The setting suits a romantic dinner for two as much as gatherings of friends or small private events. Reservations are recommended especially on weekends and during the summer season, when tables with a lake view fill up quickly.
