Taverna al Remer

If you think you cannot eat well in central Venice, think again. Taverna al Remer is a bacaro just steps from Canal Grande, at number 5701 in Sestiere Cannaregio. In the magical setting of Campiello Remer, a small square where gondola oars were once crafted, this restaurant guarantees quality and charm.

The venue feels suspended in time, starting from the Gothic mullioned windows on the facade. The interior is even more evocative, reminiscent of a medieval tavern with exposed brick walls, timber beams and antique artisan tools as decor. Taverna al Remer was renovated using reclaimed materials and antiques to preserve its authentic soul. Modern touches are not missing either, such as the jazz notes often heard during live performances. A grand piano stands proudly in a corner, setting the mood for a lively evening.

Renowned for its Venetian-style aperitivo, Taverna al Remer is ideal for a toast with an ombra of wine, naturally paired with the essential cicchetti. The dishes are simple and rooted in Venetian tradition, alongside original, modern creations, particularly on the dinner menu. One example is the Risotto al branzino, scarola e mandarino. After enjoying the atmosphere inside, take your glass out to the wooden jetty over Canal Grande. From here, you can take in the splendid Venice skyline, including a prime view of Ponte di Rialto.

Suspended between history and contemporary flair, Taverna al Remer is a romantic stop during any walk across the city. A delight for the palate and the eyes, ready to impress with its simplicity and character.
