ISLAND RESTAURANTS AROUND THE LAGOON
If you are tired of the packed tourist restaurants in the centre of Venice you should take an adventure out into the lagoon. There are so many wonderful places to explore that just a boat ride away from San Marco. Lido, Pellestrina, Vignole, Sant’Erasmo, Burano & Murano….
Pellestrina is magical in the summer – escape here for a different perspective of the Venetian lagoon and enjoy a lunch or dinner at Memo.
Escape into the lagoon to the incredible island of Pellestrina to enjoy a wonderful lunch in a beautiful garden. Closed during winter.
The perfect summer relax – pizza or seafood on the beach while the kids have fun in the playground on the sand.
Pop to Certosa island during summer for an amazingly cheap and super delicious pizza from a wood-fired oven in a van! Closed during winter.
Have a peaceful lunch on this farming island in the lagoon – incredible food, fantastic play area for kids, and stunning views.
Enjoy a coffee or spritz under the sun in Lido’s main square. This cafe sells a delicious selection of cakes, which are all freshly made on site.
All the locals flock to Sant’Erasmo during summer to swim. Eat here on the deck with fabulous views of the lagoon. For an adventure take their boat service during winter weekends!
Half-way down the island of Lido is this delicious bakery where locals stop off for coffee or a spritz. Wonderful cakes and bread.
This is the best place to eat with kids on Torcello island. A garden, edible plates, a play area and a few goats too!
Hands down our favourite ice-cream in the whole of the lagoon. Near the water bus stop in Lido. We love the cherry cheesecake flavour and the fondant chocolate.
On Gran Viale, the main street on the island of Lido. Grab a coffee, spritz or ice-cream and enjoy watching the locals pass by.
