This restaurant is located on the mouth of the Cassarate River, as it enters Lake Lugano. The premises were formerly used as docks for loading and offloading goods for towns upstream. It was a welcome stop for travelers in the 19th century. It is now a popular tavern with a well stocked cellar. The terrace overlooking the water, with a view of the yacht basin, is the ideal summer venue for private events. Classics on the menu include Swiss beef, lake fish and warm apple strudel.
