A walk along the Fondamenta dei Vetrai brings you to the large iron bridge spanning Murano's Grand Canal; down to the left, hanging over the Canale degli Angeli, is the attractive terrace of Ai Frati. As elsewhere in Venice, the key word here is fish, prepared any way you want. The risottos are nicely done. If you want to taste a famous dish from Murano and you're lucky enough to be here in November, ask when you book for the bisatto sull'ara, a local variety of fleshy eel traditionally cooked on a bed of bay leaves.
