Halal Food Restaurants to Try in Venice

TTZ Team

The famous Venice city needs no introduction, situated in Northern Italy. The city is surrounded by more than 13 million tourists yearly because of its spectacular architecture, mild climate, water channels, and romantic hotels. The ultimate attraction of Venice is its 118 islands and the boat ride without which your trip to Venice is incomplete. Venice is a perfect spot for family vacations and offers plenty of attractions for Muslim travelers. Muslim travelers visiting Venice will find several Halal food options and prayer facilities. While you are on your way to hunt for Halal food, make sure to double-check and ask the restaurant staff about their Halal status, you may find several Halal restaurants but some of them do serve alcohol and have a partially Halal menu while some are officially Halal certified. Therefore, asking for the Halal status of the restaurant is recommended.

Interestingly, many immigrants from Afghanistan, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Bangladesh have moved to Venice, running their eateries serving Halal Middle Eastern, Indian, and South Asian food making it easier for Muslim travelers to find Halal food spots. Here’s a list of the top 6 Halal restaurants you must try in Venice;
