Buon Appetito: The 5 Best Hotel Restaurants in Venice
Many hotels in Venice don’t have in-house restaurants. But the ones on our list are happy exceptions: Not only do they have their own places to dine, but they’re also special enough to make them worth a stop for the food and the setting, whether on the water or in a fabulous garden.
JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa
Why it made the list
The first choice at Dopolavoro Dining Room is: to eat indoors, or out? The second choice: to order the tasting menu of five courses, or 10? No matter what you choose, the bill will be high, but the experience (including the 20-minute sail to the hotel's private island) will be worth it.
Locanda Cipriani
Why it made the list
A former celebrity haunt, this atmospheric restaurant on the island of Torcello (just over an hour’s sail from Venice) serves up tasty traditional Italian cuisine along with signature dishes including beef carpaccio and John Dory. It makes a gorgeous stop on a sunny day when you can dine in the gardens.
Metropole
Why it made the list
The Met restaurant (which has one Michelin star) offers gorgeously presented Italian food with regional ingredients and an international flair, all served up in pretty Asian-inspired rooms. Tasting menus are the thing to get here—though we’d go back just for the unusual spaghetti with herbs and smoke.
Belmond Hotel Cipriani
Why it made the list
For lovely water views (even better from the terrace) and tasting menus of creative Italian dishes with plenty of fish and seafood, one-Michelin-starred Oro Restaurant is a solid choice. Opting for the wine pairings makes it that much better (as it would).
Hotel Danieli
Why it made the list
Come to Terrazza Danieli for the phenomenal views across the lagoon—some of the best in Venice—and stay for seasonal modern Venetian food and inspired wine choices.
