Bistrot de Venise is a central Venice restaurant, wine bar and enoteca serving traditional Venetian dishes based on the traditional 14th and 15th century local cuisine in the heart of the city near Saint Marks Square.
In fact, the menu has been compiled with the help of historical culinary consultant Marcello Brusegan, author of "The Venetian Cuisine" 1997 and all dishes are superbly prepared by Chef Ivano Frezza and his team.
Sample dishes include 'branzin in sapor fior de ginestra', 'cavreto rosto in cisame', 'storion in sapor de ua', 'rafioli de herbe', 'cento risi co' la quajeta' and 'menestra de fenochi' together with some traditional sweets like 'fritelle da imperador' and 'cioccolato de ..culo alla cannella coi biscotini alle spezie'.

As was the case more than 500 years ago, the dishes use only vegetables and fruits in season.
Guests should consult the website left for the full list of delicacies, but the following are just a small taste of what is on offer:

THE WINE LIST
The 'Bar à Vins' of the Bistrot has created a list of specially chosen wines from Veneto and the rest of Italy to perfectly accompany the dishes. Both Italian and French cheese are also available.
