Food, glorious food (and drink) - Honeymoon style #3

We went to Venice for the final few days of our honeymoon after basically eating all the food in Rome and Malcesine. We'd heard amazing things about the restaurants and street food in Venice so we were very excited about eating ourselves silly for the last few days before going home to diets, the gym and reality.

Without a doubt, we had our best meal of the honeymoon at Ristorante Pensione Wildner in Venice. We went back a second time because we loved it so much, even though we were only in Venice for four nights! There are lots of photos from Ristorante Wildner featured in this post as the presentation was beautiful as well as the flavour.

Get ready to be amazed at how much food I managed to eat in Venice...

Pumpkin soup... out of this world! My starter at Ristorante Wildner

Fancy bread basket at Ristorante Wildner

Best panacotta I've ever tasted in my entire life... again, at Ristorante Wildner

And the best Bellini I've ever tasted!

Lovely chicken pizza

The most perfect macaroni ragu (yes you've guessed it, Ristorante Wildner again)

Beef tagliata... perfection again at Ristorante Wildner!

We thought Venice would be extremely expensive but we were pleasantly surprised. Our lunch from the Rialto Market was generally 3 or 4 euros each for a pizza slice or a huge wrap, and our dinners and drinks were reasonable considering how fantastic they were and how good the service was. Venice was the most expensive place we visited on our honeymoon as Rome and Malcesine were surprisingly cheap, but it was totally worth it. 

Needless to say, I felt the need to go on a diet as soon as we got back home as our honeymoon was so beautifully indulgent. I'm now battling to lose my honeymoon weight so that I can put it all back on when we go on our next holiday... Disneyland Paris in December!
