Gardens are always a bonus in Venice, and this restaurant has a lovely one – it would be great to sit under the wisteria on a warm evening.

Just across the bridge from Murano’s extraordinary honey-coloured Duomo, the Osteria that bears its name is a very handy place.

St John Bar & Restaurant
Step back into the Georgian age with some classic British cooking at this wine bar, bakery and restaurant just round the corner from Smithfield Market. No wonder the meat’s good.

Trattoria Capitan Uncino
A dessert trolley full of puddings made on the premises tops off a surprisingly rich experience.

Trattoria Busa alla Torre da Lele
Serving some of the best food on the island, not least whatever the day’s catch happens to be. Spider crab for antipasti?
-
Enoteca Ai Artisti
Tiny but perfectly formed establishment with a menu constructed each day from whatever’s good at the markets.
-
Al Vecio Marangon
Queues attest to a collective hankering for good, simple food in a congenial atmosphere.

Brazilian cuisine – not for slimmers – makes for an atmospheric dining experience in Bethnal Green, with live music on the weekends.

Arbutus
Interesting and innovative cooking that won’t break the bank in Soho from Anthony Demetre and Will Smith.
