Description: At the Grand Canal restaurant based at the Hotel Monaco in the heart of Venice, you may dine on a beautiful terrace just a few inches above the waters of the Grand Canal and feast your eyes as well as your palate. It is drenched with romance. And with breathtaking views over gondolas, the spotlit Santa Maria della Salute, and the island of San Giorgio, the Grand Canal wouldn���t have to offer exquisite d��cor, excellent service and fine food. But it does. The menu is based on the daily-changing fresh fish and vegetables that Venetian cuisine dotes on, as well as a menu of meat and pasta dishes that change seasonally, like salmon and swordfish tartare with lemon and basil or terrine of foie gras with pumpkin puree. If your plans include private entertaining, the Grand Canal restaurant is set in the Hotel Monaco which houses the amazing, historic, perfectly Venetian Sala del Ridotto, the heart of 18th century Venice, where the world���s first Casino was born. Host your wedding, banquet, launch or meeting here, of take advantage of the eight adjacent meeting rooms for smaller groups. The Grand Canal restaurant is a Venetian favourite.

The patio was full for lunch but the maitre'D asked if we wanted to sit inside and I'm glad we accepted. The service and food were excellent. There was no salad on the menu but the waiter said that the chef would be happy to make one especially for my wife. It was great. Prices are not cheap but we... More

At the Monaco Hotel, this restaurant has great food, reasonable prices compared to other hotels, such a great view on the Grand Canal and professional most gracious service. I have visited Venice many times, gone to a number of restaurants and I will always return here whenever I am in Venice. To just sit there, enjoy some nice wine and... More

No proper dress code, some people dressed up and some very casual. Would have been more special if they had a formal dress code. Well priced... More

We booked the Xmas lunch because so few restaurants open on the 25th, and it worked out really well. We went for the 85€ Christmas day lunch, which comprised of 5 quite substantial courses and coffee to finish. Pretty good value especially as the few places that open use it as an excuse to charge 2 or 3 times the... More

We went to this restaurant for Christmas Eve dinner, in a party of 6. Despite asking for a window table, many months ago, these were all "booked", so we sat at a table a little back from the window which reduced the view but the atmosphere was generally good, albeit a little formal. The welcome was warm nevertheless and we... More

We made a lunch booking as we were celebrating a significant birthday but it was gratifying that they were clearly expecting us and showed us to a prime waterfront seat. Coperto was 6.50 euros but the basket of bread was delicious. Soup only so-so. Very tasty and enriching but not convinced it deserved an 18 Euro price tag. By contrast... More

Great dishes, great presentation, great service. We are sorry that we ate at our Luna Baglioni restaurant and did not find this place sooner.
