Expert review of Taverna al Campiello Remer
Enjoy spectacular Grand Canal views with a drink and a snack.
By the time you find this cosy, welcoming bar and eaterie with its arched ceiling and exposed brick walls, you’ll really feel you’ve earned your drink. Tucked away down tortuous alleyways off Campo San Giovanni Crisostomo, not far from the Rialto, the Taverna sits in a tiny square with a splendid Grand Canal frontage and view over the iconic bridge.
Food and drink:
If I eat here, I come at lunch time for the well-priced buffet (€20). In the evening, things get more expensive… and you won’t realise how much you’re paying until the bill arrives because the menu is recited, not printed – a habit in some Venetian restaurants that I object to. The cooking, moreover, is competent but unexciting. More often than not, I just drop by for a drink because there are few finer places to nurse a spritz than in the delightful campiello, watching the boating activity on the Grand Canal. There are all the usual cicheti (bar snacks) to help your aperitivo or nightcap go down.
Ambience:
Until recently very locals-only, the Taverna is now firmly on the trail of those adventurous tourists who take the trouble to find it. There’s live music most evenings.
Service:
Despite the generally welcoming ambience, table serving staff can be slow and not always terribly friendly.
Location:
A challenge to find, the Taverna is in a tiny square right on the Grand Canal, with a view across to the Rialto markets and left to the Rialto bridge: head west from Campo San Giovanni Cristostomo.
Price advice:
The lunch buffet costs €20. There’s a 5.30pm-7.30pm happy hour buffet when a glass of wine plus snacks costs from €4, depending on what you’re drinking. If you eat à la carte, expect to pay upwards of €40 a head for a full meal.

Amazing place to enjoy good food and good music, since few weeks, there is a cocktails bar and believe me there are the best cocktails you can find in Venice, about 8€ for one, you can not find cheaper somewhere else. You should book your table if you want to have a table for sure on the weekend.
There is still the buffet for 20 € from 12 - 15:30 and the happy hours from 17:30 - 19h30 with buffet + a drink for 5€ in all ... so good price, the staf has changed and the service is very nice! Everybody does speak english and much more language, you can follow the activity of the restaurant either on facebook http://www.facebook.com/tavernaalremer or via the website www.alremer.com
