DK Travel : Venice : Places to eat

Sarde in Saor

Fried sardines marinated in a sweet and sour mixture of onions, currants and pine nuts, invented for sailors at sea for lengthy periods.
Self Pause

At the western end of the main street, this great self-service restaurant offers cheap, tasty salads, pasta and meat dishes and a great value buffet for dinner.
Spritz

Unrivalled Venetian favourite of white wine with a splash of Bitter, Aperol or Select (apéritif brands) and a shot of mineral water.
Suzie Café

This great bar, frequented by students, serves sandwiches, pasta and salads.
Taverna Da Baffo

Seek out this tranquil square for a light lunch with a glass of Belgian beer or crisp Friuli wine.
Taverna Olandese Volante

Lively bar serving draught beer and where the rolls are named after pirates and the salads after ships – try the “Galeone” with prawn and hard-boiled egg.
Tea

Usually served with a slice of lemon, though herbal tea (infuso ), such as camomile, is common.
Tiramisù

Dessert with a creamy sauce of eggs and mascarpone between layers of sponge drenched in coffee or liqueur.
Trattoria ai Cacciatori

Cheaper and quieter than neighbouring Burano, here you can savour potato dumplings with crab and, in autumn, local game.
Trattoria Al Corallo

A popular, chaotic trattoria. Dine on fresh fish by the canal. Open for lunch only.
