Fodor's Expert Review Caffè dei Frari

Just over the bridge in front of the Frari church is this old-fashioned bar, where you'll find an assortment of sandwiches and snacks; but it's the atmosphere, not the food, that's the main attraction. Established in 1870, it's one of the last Venetian bars/tearooms with its original decor. Prices are a bit higher than in the cafés of nearby Campo Santa Margherita, but the decor and the friendly "retro" atmosphere seem to make the added cost worthwhile.
