Bistrot de Venise

A Magical Venetian Lunch Experience at Bistrot de Venise From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the elegant and romantic décor — rich colors, soft lighting, and the unmistakable charm of classic Venetian style. The gentle background music set a warm, relaxing mood. We were seated by a window overlooking the canal, where gondolas glided quietly by — it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was truly exceptional — perhaps the best we’ve had in all our travels across Europe. The lamb ragout pasta was outstanding: the tender, flavorful lamb paired beautifully with the handmade pasta’s delicate bite — a perfect harmony of texture and taste. The slow-braised beef cheek with the restaurant’s special sauce was unforgettable: meltingly soft meat, layered flavors, and a rich, balanced seasoning that lingered pleasantly on the palate. What impressed us most, however, was the impeccable service. From the moment we arrived until we left, every member of the staff was courteous, attentive, and professional — warm without being intrusive. The explanations of each dish were detailed and engaging. A special thanks to David and Alvise for their genuine hospitality and thoughtful care — they made our lunch truly special. Bistrot de Venise is not just a restaurant; it’s a complete Venetian experience — refined, soulful, and unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Venice.

Such a lovely restaurant to enjoy in the heart of Venice. Was pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. The decor was a cherry on top - red walls, super Venetian feel (or at least what I imagine Venetian decor to be). The staff were so kind! My partner is vegan and he had the vegan 4 course tasting while I had the 4 course omnivore. The food was delicious! I strongly recommend- while the restaurant is made up of mostly tourists, it’s not a tourist trap at all. Great quality food and service.

I had the pesto pasta (perfect texture — I loved that bite! My friend asked for chili flakes so I tried some too, and it was surprisingly good), the osso buco (super tender and flavorful), and the tiramisu (loved that hint of booze!). The food was amazing, and the service was just as great (plus, the waiter was really cute haha). Not sure when I’ll be back in Venice, but I’d totally come here again if I get the chance!

Fine dining at its best. This restaurant serves perfectly prepared pasta, the appetizer was also fantastic. And, oh my, the dolce was heaven on Earth. One may say it’s a bit pricey ristorante, but for the food of such quality, I would say it’s totally worthy. The staff was amazing, we tried to speak in our poor Italian, but they all knew English decently. If you want to have some good dining experience in Venezia, this place is the one I definitely recommend!

A really incredible vegan dining experience. Delicious vegan set menu with multiple options. Interior decor was beautiful, air conditioned and romantic atmosphere. Service was exceptional. Price was very reasonable for what it was. This should be the ultimate, first class dining destination for any vegan in Venice!
