PU-JIE gourmet 3 - Veneza - Harry's Bar





Harry's Bar

Deve começar-se por tomar um drink chamado Bellini, mas eu não tomei!

Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in 1931 with financing from a Bostonian named Harry. Sit at the bar and drink a Bellini, invented here, and then think about the fact that Hemingway probably sat in exactly the same spot and drank exactly the same drink.

Then remind yourself that Hemingway was a real man who wouldn't have been caught dead drinking a sissy drink like peach juice and sparkling wine.

The food at Harry's Bar gets one star (as high as it gets in Venice) from the Michelin Red Guide and it is deserved. Service in the upstairs restaurant is superb.

If you're lucky, none other than Harry Cipriani (Giuseppe's son, born one year after the bar) will come out and ask you how you're enjoying dinner.

Right across from the San Marco vaporetto stop.

Di Francesca e Vincenzo Osteria/Enoteca is a good restaurant halfway between the Accademia and the Ca' Rezzonico, com optima comida italiana e excelentes vinhos!
