La Palanca

"The Giudecca is a strange island, with a jolly resident community of tough old boat builders and dreadlocked types seemingly untouched by the tourism of Venice proper."

"One of the cheapest meals-with-a-view in Venice is on offer at this humble bar-trattoria on the Giudecca quay." Full review

"The food is more than OK at this basic bar-trattoria, and the view of the city from the outside tables is much more than OK."

"La Palanca does lunch only, but what a lunch it is. The interiors are white and functional...with a view this unique—across to Venice proper and down the canal to magnificent San Giorgio Maggiore." Full review

"It's all about the views at this classic wine bar–restaurant, where tables perched on the water’s edge are often filled with both locals and visitors, particularly at lunchtime." Full review

"The views of the Zattere make tagliolini ai calamaretti (narrow ribbon pasta with tiny calamari) and tuna steak with balsamic vinegar taste even better." Full review
