Locanda Montin In Venezia

Antica Locanda Montin is, as its name suggests, a historical inn, still offering both accommodation and food. The restaurant and décor are steeped in nostalgia, perhaps to a fault. This review is strictly for the restaurant. The main dining room is dark and very traditional, with paintings covering nearly every wall. It could certainly use a modern refresh. The garden, its best feature, is genuinely lovely and surprisingly spacious, especially by Venetian standards. The service is polite, which in Venice qualifies as a minor miracle. The main issue is the food. The restaurant is rooted in tradition, but unfortunately, also stuck in it. The menu is so firmly anchored in the past, it seems to have missed several culinary movements, including most of the last seven decades. The same tired Venetian classics are trotted out, lovingly untouched by innovation or whim. No seasonal variation, no playful reinterpretation, just the same dishes, again and again. I can’t imagine the existential dread of being a chef here. While most restaurants now respond to the rhythms of nature, shifting menus by the week or even by the day, Antica Locanda Montin remains immovable. Its menu changes not by season, but by era, and the era in question appears to be post-war austerity. Elsewhere, restaurants accommodate dietary needs with grace and creativity. Here, asking for a vegetarian or vegan option feels like you’re getting less, not something different of equal value. It’s a real pity. The place still radiates charm, and its story is tied to great names in the arts. One only wishes they would breathe some fresh air into both the décor and the cuisine ... the place deserves it.

Hidden away, it's hard to find if you don't know it. It's certainly not a "hit and run" place. A historic, very characteristic place. The food is good, and the staff is very professional and friendly. What more can I say? It can't be said more. Prices... directly proportional to the service and quality. 😍

I went to the restaurant. The prices were very reasonable. The dishes weren't very large, but they were very, very tasty. And the garden was incredible. It rained a little, but the plants covered it enough so that you didn't even get any water on you.

A very okay, budget experience. If you have the cash, opt for something a bit less budget and don't go here. The only actual issue was our room's shower head was completely broken, leaking, and had this mechanism where you could move it up and down, but it kept sliding down. AC worked, bed was fine, they had extra pillows and cleaning services. The big con (not necessarily an issue) was that wifi does not work in their rooms - only their common areas - and we had to use data to look up places to go and directions for Venice. Have no idea why they did that, but once again - you're staying at a budget place. Would not stay here again but am not recommending against it if you're alright with these issues or bringing them up with staff.

We Saw the good reviews in Google Maps and as my wife wanted to eat in one of Venice gardens we chose this one on our last day. Good good neither excepcional but well made and plated. A good and polite service (which IS rare in Venice). The portion are not large so recomendable to order anti pasta, first plate and a dessert. My wife enjoyed again tiramisú and I took a cake, which was tasty but a bit dry. First place Venice where my wife could order normal a spanish icecoffee. Best part the shade and view in the garden

My partner and I ate very well. The garden was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. The price (considering the context) was reasonable. We will be back!

This is an excellent restaurant that's off the beaten path. Most tourists don't know it and the clientele is mostly locals and Italians. The food is very good and the outdoor dining area is beautiful. We've been coming to Locanda Montin for more than 25 years and we highly recommend it.

Beautiful venue, great food, and wonderful service.

Durante una gita di un giorno a Venezia in occasione della visita alla nave Amerigo Vespucci lì ormeggiata, abbiamo pranzato in questo ristorante. E’ consigliabile la prenotazione, poiché anche se da fuori non si fa notare, è uno dei locali “storici” della città lagunare ed è molto rinomato e frequentato. Dispone di un’ampia sala interna, molto accogliente e con tavoli ben distanziati: c’è poi una magnifica corte all’aperto, con tavoli sotto un pergolato oppure sotto al porticato. Noi abbiamo preferito la sala all’interno, poiché il clima era mutevole. Abbiamo gustato: - 1 porzione di sarde in Saor - 1 porzione di tris di Saor entrambi buonissimi antipasti; - 1 porzione di sarde fritte ed 1 insalata mista - 1 porzione di seppie in umido freschissime e golose le sarde, accompagnate da tranci di polenta e da rondelle di zucchine in pastella e fritte. Indimenticabili le seppie, morbide come un burro, ricoperte del loro nero ed adagiate su una polentina morbida e fumante. Anche solo per un piatto di questa prelibatezza vale la pena di fare un viaggio a Venezia… Conto finale, comprensivo di pane, coperto, ed una bottiglia d’acqua, €96,00. Accettati contanti e carte di credito. Indirizzo prezioso per rendere perfetta una giornata in una città unica nel mondo.

Ristorante un po' defilato rispetto ai soliti percorsi turistici. Buona atmosfera. All'interno c'è una pergola dove mangiare d'estate molto bella. Personale gentile. Non posso dire di aver mangiato male ma non mi ha emozionato. Buono il baccalà ma sia i primi che i secondi un po' anonimi. Cantina buona anche se un po' caretta, Dopo quello che mi avevano detto i miei amici veneziani,mi aspettavo sinceramente di più.
