If there's a big queue at the barrier, check the wider one because for some reason people often ignore it!
I recommend the little tea shop over the road called theArtOrganisation.co.uk. council owned, so not exactly slick compared to Starbucks...but Way friendlier! A lovely pot of jasmine tea!

Fridge stacked high with endless bottles of very nice prosecco! :) Other than that, pretty average. Nasty sandwiches and annoying wifi login process.

Extensive breakfast menu served late into the day inside an old train car. Cool interior.
Fantastic cocktail menu.. can recommend the Long Island Ice Tea, Mai Tai & Margarita. Shop is filled with really cool & unique merchandise (a la Colette in Paris).
Cute, eclectic environment with nice views. Helpful staff. Recommend the Chicken Caesar Salad.
Pick a spot on the south side of Sunkisses for views of the gay beach (Fondaco Parrino) just to the south. Great if you didn't bring an umbrella (Fondaco has none for rental).

Love this place. Vietnamese crispy pork belly sandwich is a must. Sandwich of the year! :)
The Chicken Cordon Bleu is amazing! Great oysters, too. Warm space with a fantastic atmosphere & friendly staff.
Excellent food. Menu seems simple but each dish is delicious. Oysters & mussels great, spaghetti w/clams fantastic, as was the risotto del mare and house wine. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Nice hotel. Great location. And good value for the money.. But worst Wi-Fi experience I have ever had. Rarely works in the room and slow in the lobby.
