CHEZ TEX

Restaurant · Venice

@infatuation

"There are plenty of good restaurants in Venice. But there aren’t many where you can walk in at 7pm on a Friday night and actually get a seat without being laughed at by a hostess/model. Consider Chez Tex one of them. This casual bistro is small and sparse, with only ten or so tables and a bar. The menu is a rotating list of solid small plates like seafood conservas, charcuterie, and a particularly excellent tahini caesar. This is one of the few restaurants in the area where you’ll want to hang out all night. And then the next night after that." - Brant Cox
