Venice Restaurants

  1. Ganesh Ji

    Fancy a quick curry? Forget it. But a good slow one can be had on the canalside terrace of this place. Charmingly chaotic staff members serve up authentic dishes at reasonable prices - particularly pleased guests have scribbled their appreciation on the walls. The place also offers a vegetarian lunch menu (around €12 ) and a nonvegetarian lunch option (around €14.50 ). Chuck in a €2.50 cover charge.

  2. Iguana

    The low, wooden-beamed ceiling makes for a warm atmosphere at this Venetian excursion into South American food. The burritos, tacos, quesadillas (filled and fried tortillas) and other Latin American specialities are OK. Some people just show up for tequila at the bar, and if enough folks hunker down, it may stay open a little later. There's a drinks happy hour from to and live bands on Thursdays at .

  3. Mirai

    What a surprise - halfway decent Japanese food in Venice. Sure, the Venetians have their own way with fish, but sometimes sushi and sashimi is the way to go. Strange that it should be alone in a city renowned for its Eastern-languages faculty! The ambience is a chilled modern-design affair (completely renovated in 2006).

  4. Naranzaria

    East meets West in this hip corner bistro with sushi and Venetian-style cicheti, along with light summer dishes. Swilled down with fine local and Friuli wines, this microscopically sized locale with cool ambient music adds a metro touch to the Rialto market bustle. Grab a table upstairs in winter or a canalside position in summer. (The Naranzaria was long the orange market. Oranges were prized by mariners not for making juice but as a preventive measure against scurvy while at sea.)
