Met

Venice


The Hotel Metropole's Michelin-starred restaurant offers an intriguing proposition: at each stage of its multicourse menu you can order a traditional Venetian dish or a theatrical modern interpretation using the same ingredients. The enthusiastic staff will ably assist you in your decision but, either way, you can't go wrong. Jellyfish-like Murano chandeliers add whimsy to an otherwise formal room.
