Al Timon is a lively bar and eatery on the Fondamenta degli Ormesini in Cannaregio, at the heart of one of Venice’s best areas for an evening out. Crowds gather along the canal with glasses of wine and plates of cicchetti, and in warmer months a moored boat serves as extra seating on the water. With regular live music and a young, local atmosphere, it is a favourite spot for a relaxed night beside the canal.
