Le Bistrot de Venise
On Calle dei Fabbri, below the Albergo al Gambero Cuisines: Italian, FrenchAbout
This relaxed spot with a recently expanded dining room offers indoor and outdoor seating, young English-speaking waiters, and a varied, eclectic menu. It's a popular meeting spot for Venetians and young artists, and you're made to feel welcome to sit and write postcards over a cappuccino, enjoy a simple lunch of risotto and salad, or dine when most of Venice is shutting down. Linger over an elaborate meal that may include local favorites like figa' de vedelo a la venexiana (Venetian calves' liver) or the odd morete a la caorlotta (tagliolini made with cocoa, topped with a festival of crustaceans), or unique dishes made from historic 15th-century Venetian recipes or a classic French cookbook. Peek in the back room to see what's going on in the evening -- the place hosts art exhibits, wine tasting, and poetry readings.
