Where to eat inexpensively in Venice

Venice is quite an expensive city. If you want to spend as little money as possible on food and drink while in Venice, read this article carefully. We will offer you several options, and make the choice yourself. Like other major cities in Europe, you can get by relatively cheaply in Venice if you buy groceries from inexpensive supermarkets and cook your meals at home. In addition, you can eat it on the street. A city located on water provides such an opportunity. I will provide you with information on where to have inexpensive breakfast, lunch and dinner in Venice.

Please note that prices are higher in the center. Give preference to cafes and restaurants where locals go - away from attractions and crowded places. Go to establishments with local names: taverns, pizzerias, trattorias (family kitchen).

Food in Venice is quite expensive. If you want to save money, we recommend buying ready-made food in a supermarket, for example Coop, Billa, DESPAR, Punto, Conad, Lidl, Prix, Crai.
