One of Venice's most well known restaurants, Osteria Da Fiore is renowned for chef Mara Martin's delectable creations.

Hyped around the world as the best in the canal city, guests here certainly pay for the reputation, as the menu is notoriously expensive.

However, the prices are justified when it comes to the food, which includes a wide choice from the amuse-bouche through to the desserts.

The menu is predominantly fish-based, although there are a number of vegetarian options.

Dishes on offer may include turbot baked in a potato crust, sea bass with balsamic vinegar and the slightly more adventurous fried eel with celery and blueberries.

The home-made desserts have also received acclaim, as have the cheese board and wine list.

Da Fiore, which has been open for around 30 years, achieved fame following the release of its cookbook in 2003.

The restaurant is located near San Polo square, which is the second largest public square in Venice.
