Venice
After the success of its first restaurant, specialising in meats, Timon has branched into fish. Stand at the bar for a glass of wine and a selection of cicheti (Venetian tapas) or take a seat and tuck into one of the inventive dishes from the menu, such as gnocchi with black cauliflower and squid or grilled eel and creamy beets.
The atmosphere inside is warm and cosy. In summer months, you can enjoy your meal al fresco in the pretty courtyard.
