Where eating and drinking become an experience, for a holiday dedicated to taste
Jesolo, in addition to being one of the most enchanting locations on the Adriatic Riviera, is a true paradise for foodies. While it may be somewhat predictable to discuss its wonderful beaches and opportunities for relaxation, entertainment, and sport, it would indeed be immoral not to linger on the excellent – it is the right thing to say – opportunities to enjoy great cuisine while in the vicinity. Below, we offer you a list of the best bars and restaurants on Jesolo Beach (and not only): buon appetito!
Al Traghetto
Fraction of Cortellazzo, on the border with Eraclea
This restaurant claims its origins from a fishermen’s tavern, and distinctly stands out from the mass of tourist spots, also thanks to its position, among the remnants of the old fishing village. Open since 1964, it continues the tradition of fresh fish from the mouth of the Piave: today, as in the past, it is served fried or roasted, accompanied by hand-shelled corn cobs. The fish arrives fresh daily from the Caorle market, and the kitchen showcases several Venetian specialties, offering some contemporary cuisine gems.
Albamar
Lido di Jesolo
Intimate and minimal chic spaces for this restaurant located within the Albatros Hotel, strongly guided by two chefs who love Italian and Mediterranean cuisine – mostly fish, with unexpected exotic touches. A menu with personality, created from the finest ingredients from the Venetian lagoon, the Adriatic, and the Veneto hinterland. Flawless wine list, wide selection of vodka. Noteworthy is the splendid terrace: a peaceful oasis just steps from the sea.
Al Torcio
Jesolo Promenade
This wonderful restaurant, 500 meters from the promenade, guides diners through a timeless experience within spaces with various rooms of different sizes and a large summer terrace, capable of lending themselves to more intimate dinners as well as convivial tables.

In the dining room, a beautiful wine list accompanies a contemporary and innovative offer, with an eye to evergreens such as crudité and fried foods.

Lido di Jesolo
The 44 Lifestyle hotel hosts Jolà on the ground floor, in a space where sophisticated informality, supported by an original and meticulous choice of raw materials and lots of fusion-style creativity, reigns supreme.

Flora is a contemporary venue characterized by an environment filled with elegance and attention to the smallest detail.
