Alla Palanca

One of the cheapest meals-with-a-view in Venice is on offer at this hugely friendly bar- trattoria on the Giudecca quay. It’s a lunch-only place: the rest of the day (7am-9pm) it operates as a bar. Sit at a quayside table and order from a good-value menu that includes some surprisingly gourmet options: tagliatelle with prawns and funghi porcini, or tuna steaks in balsamic and sesame. Finish up with a delicious chocolate mousse with candied fruit.
