Reading the Venice travel guide 16th edition and there are restaurant recommendations for Burano but not Murano. think we might have lunch there before moving on to Burano. These are plans for 3rd week of September. Thanks

I have a trip to Venice coming up. I've built a map showing restaurants for which I've seen recommendations either here or in guidebooks. I haven't been to any of these places, but these are the three I have flagged. I'm not a big spender, so there may be $$$$ places that are highly recommendable that didn't make it onto my list.
Osteria Acquastanca, Fondamenta Manin 48. Old info said it was closed on Sunday and hours varied by day of week.
Ai Vetrai, Fondamenta Manin 29. I have no info recorded on its hours.
Trattoria Ai Frati, Fondamenta Venier Sebastiano 4. No info on hours.
Gelato di Natura has a Murano location at Riva Longa 27. According to my prep notes it is closed on Monday and closes at 6 PM the other days of the week. That seems pretty odd and may be outdated/COVID hours.
The Island has at least two little supermarkets:
Despar, Fondamenta Vetrai 14. My info says closed on Sunday.
Co-op, Riva Longa 26. My info says open every day.

Try Ristorante dalla Mora on Fondamenta Daniel Manin. Lots of locals eat there and it's on a canal. It's easy to find if you use google maps to check it out ahead of time.

Acquastanca and Vetrai are both good.

Burano is famous for its Risotto di Pesce (fish risotto) at a couple different restaurants. You might look into that online, and consider adjusting you schedule for the day. Or, stay in Burano through dinner time, which might be mid-evening, not early.

La Perla Ai Bisatei, in Campo S. Bernardo. This is not on a canal, but is tucked back in a residential neighborhood about four minutes' walk from Murano's Grand Canal. I've eaten there twice and the food - mostly seafood - is SO good! and reasonably priced. It seemed that there were more locals there (for lunch) than tourists! The first time that I ate there I was alone, and so the host seated me at a table with another diner, a single, an older Italian man. I speak very little Italian and he spoke no English, but we had a delightful meal together as he described his work as a glassblower (now retired) and the language differences between Venetian dialect and that of his wife from Bologna. It was an amazing lunch - both food and company - that I'll never forget. And I figure it must be good food by local standards if a retired glassblower was eating there! (It may be closed on Wednesdays.)
