Facing the Frari church for about 20 years, Frary's is the Arab-Greek kitchen Venetian food writers name first when they want something that is not cicchetti: falafel with hummus, dolmades with tzatziki, moussaka and maqluba, the Jordanian rice with almonds and pine nuts. It is also one of the easiest places in the centre for vegetarians and vegans.
