  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Charcoal Venice is an inviting neighborhood restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef and Owner Josiah Citrin that was inspired by the backyard barbecues he hosts on weekends for his friends and family. As the name suggests, everything is cooked indoors over live fire – whether over charcoal or in the coals. Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style. Whether diving into a platter of smoky grilled chicken wings with a beer or classic cocktail at the bar, or splitting a 48 oz. dry-aged Porterhouse and a bottle of Bandol with friends, Charcoal Venice is an everyday dining spot.

    Excellent well-prepared and delicious food. I've eaten there for years and it's consistently great. Expensive, but remember it's Josiah Citrin from Melisse who is the chef owner. You are going to get what you pay for there. my favs: Cabbage, chicken wings, calamari and green beans. Any of the steaks and get the fries- best in the city. Shrimp, broccolini, carrots. Duck excellent from Liberty Duck Bring some friends and share.

    Overall, this was a good experience. We had the duck and filet mignon, both of which were cooked to our liking. Also had the stuffed baked potato, which was huge. If you’re a carnivore you should add this restaurant to your list.

    Horrible acoustics -- way to loud -- hard to carry on a conversation. Service was slow and spotty. Good food.
