Hummus, Eggplant, Artichoke Yum - Edit
If you are a hummus and eggplant lover - this is the place to go. The restaurant serves also fish and meat but the staff is very helpful in finding vegan options. I can highly recommend the fried artichokes. Some seats outside in the canal are also available.

Nice dinner, loved the artichokes and the eggplant. The hummus was good but definitely not the best I've ever had. Historic restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Not fancy and a relaxed vibe. Wine was horrible though.
Read moreHad the hummus, the artichoke bottoms, eggplant ghetto style, bottle of water and 1 glass of wine. Spent €30 including coperto and tip. So very cheap!
Pros: Cheap , Decent food, Traditional
Cons: Wine was horrible

Best restaurant we went to in Venice! - Edit
This restaurant was great! It filled up fast, so get there early or make a reservation. They had lots of options that were vegan as-is. We shared the Gam-Gam appetizer, which was 9 different small samples of various things like marinated chickpeas, hummus, and Israeli salad. I also opted to get several side dishes instead of a meal to try some different things. I got fries, artichoke bottoms with tomato vinaigrette, and the eggplant ghetto style(made GF). All were delicious and in such large portions that I couldn't finish everything. I highly recommend this as a delicious break from all the pizza and pasta!

You do not need to be Kosher or Jewish - Edit
I had vegetarian pasta and vegan vegetable soup. I like they have house wine by 1/2 litre or litre. Casual, holidays can be crowded. They serve both Italian and Israeli cuisine. Tell them your vegan and they will accommodate. There are many tourist traps in Venice, have to be careful. Gam Gam is the real deal.

Went back for seconds - Edit
Options not clearly labelled on the menu but the waiters were extremely helpful and pointed out everything that is or could be done vegan. You MUST have the eggplant massa’bacha dish, one of the best foods we’ve ever had - we went back for more two days later! Also had the Gam Gam specialty which was lovely and fresh, the pasta of the day was pesto which they did with spaghetti for us, also very tasty. Suggest reserving a table if going during peak lunch/dinner times, lovely to sit outside by the water.

Friendly place with some good options - Edit
Friendly place with some good vegan options. Loved the starter plate - hummus and falafel, which you can also get “off the menu” as we were later told, were outstanding. We also tried Couscous and pasta, which were fine and filling, but tasted rather bland. Prices were okay.

Friendly place - Edit
The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The Starter Plate is fully vegan and features except for Baba Ganoush and features incredibly tasty Hummus among other specialities.
Read moreA whole roasted eggplant, Cous Cous with vegetables as well as Hummus with Falafel are vegan options on the menu. The Papadelle with mushrooms can be made vegan by switching out the pasta to Spaghetti.
The food was not out of this world but solid and good. Definitely worth a try.
Pros: Very friendly staff
Cons: Not too many options

Really delicious and friendly - Edit
We went to Gam Gam on two evenings during our stay in Venice. It is a really nice small Restaurant directly at a canal. There are many vegan options. The Gam Gam Speciality of the House starters plate is amazing. Very tasty Hummus and Falafel. For the main course we choosed Pasta with mushrooms. Instead of Papardelle the waiter recommended us Spaghetti because the Papardelle contains egg. The staff is really helpful and friendly. At the end of our first visit we decided to make directly a reservation for the next evening again.

Amazing Jewish-Italian fusion - Edit
We reserved this place for our last night in Venice, as it was close to our accommodation and I’ve felt intrigued about Jewish cuisine. We absolutely loved every minute of it. The aubergine starter and mushroom humus, alongside the fried artichokes with tahini and couscous made our last dinner In the city memorable. No vegan deserts available on the day, but we went for a cinnamon, mint and ginger tea. I will certainly be trying this combination at home from now on! 😍

Am Shabbat geschlossen - Edit
Das Restaurant Gam Gam bietet koshere Gerichte mit einer Auswahl an veganen Speisen.
Read moreBesonders Highlight war das gemischte Vorspeisenmenü, bei dem man viele kleine Leckerbissen serviert bekommt. Eignet sich hervorragend zum Teilen 😋
Das Lokal bietet sowohl Sitzplätze im Innenbereich und gemütliche Plätze am Kanal.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und wusste sofort, welche Speisen auf der Karte vegan sind.
Leider gibt es kein veganes Dessert auf der Karte, aber pflanzliche Milch zum Kaffee.
Ab 19 Uhr sollte man reservieren, da sich das Lokal zu füllen beginnt.
Achtung, das Lokal hat am Shabbat, also von Freitag Nachmittag bis Samstag Mittag geschlossen!
