The best French cuisine restaurants Venice

Interesting address, listed in the Michelin Venice for 20 years. This restaurant is both traditional and a bit whimsical, a good table where history, art and gastronomy are combined in a refined setting. The staff is dedicated to digging into the dungeons of Venetian cuisine to unearth amazing recipes. The langoustine with sweet and sour sauce, with onions, almonds and raisins, for example, is amazing... Just like the cellar, which is full of vintages. Large choice of wines by the glass and oyster tasting at the counter.

Belonging to the same group as the prestigious Harry's Bar in San Marco, this restaurant in a sublime setting is located along the Giudecca Canal, opposite Dorsoduro. White tablecloths and uniformed waiters welcome you to a contemporary dining room. Classic, refined and generous cuisine on the menu. Among the dishes, try the tortelloni agli asparagi or the homemade cannelloni. The prices may seem high, but the waterfront setting and the view have their price. Take your time in contemplation, as service can be slow, depending on how busy it is.

Sheltered from the crowd, you can enjoy every moment of your meal at Quaranta Ladroni (the forty thieves). This small neighborhood brasserie seduces as much by its small romantic tables with candles along the canal as by its simple and tasty fish cuisine. You can see the Venetians (the real ones) parking their little boat to come here for dinner. And if you have to wait a long time for a seat, it is on the small bridge next door that you will wait, with a first glass in your hand, contemplating this timeless setting. Admit that there are worse things, right?
