Staying in one of Venice’s most sophisticated accommodations at the Palladio Suite in the legendary Belmond Hotel Cipriani, one can’t help but feel like royalty. This is all the more so because of the culinary artistry on display at the hotel’s award-winning kitchens, including the Michelin-starred Oro. Here you can experience chef Riccardo Canella’s set menus, where he combines unusual-sounding elements to create unexpected flavors that will leave you wanting more – such as woodruff ice cream with oyster, blue cheese-infused cream and tarragon oil. For a romantic dinner, head to Il Porticciolo to feast on fresh seafood and crudi dishes on an elegant terrace by the water. Elsewhere, Cip’s Club offers the ideal al fresco atmosphere, where Venetian specialties are accompanied by stunning views of the water and St Mark’s Square. The intimate Bar Gabbiano can’t be missed either – make the most of their all-day menu or drop by in the evening for a crafted cocktail while live music plays in the background.
