Welcome to Café Venice, located on the Island of Venice in the Historical Downtown District, at 116 West Venice Avenue. Café Venice -- Voted Venice’s “Best Café” three years in a row and counting! People often ask what type of restaurant we are and who we cater to, and our answer is simple. We are a small, intimate bistro-style restaurant, featuring an exquisite menu with a Continental to Polynesian flaire-paired with a fine wine selection. Enjoy the dining experience of white linen table cloths inside, as well as our Florida Casual environment and take pleasure in the best service in town. We have recently added an artistic flare to our outside patio dining area-featuring artwork by one of our own servers, Emily Neuman. Stop by and see the fine artwork on the outside tables and enjoy our intimate atmosphere, as well as outside dining as the weather permits.

Because we are a smaller restaurant, we cater to each and every guest and truly count on you coming back and especially telling your friends. When people find us, we so often hear “You are our new favorite restaurant in town.” You’ll enjoy us knowing your name….Welcome to our Restaurant, enjoy our wonderful food, wine and service—and let us, let you experience one of the best pleasures in town!
