The best Greek restaurants Corfu

One of Corfu's most traditional restaurants, with a loyal local clientele and fast service. In the old town, behind Liston, this restaurant has been in existence since 1932. Greek and Mediterranean cuisine: hot and cold mezzes, specialties, pasta and desserts. Everything is homemade, everything is very good, the presentation of the dishes is original and the service is meticulous. Not to be outdone, the location exudes a certain elegance and romantic charm in this busy, bustling street. Don't hesitate to talk to Periklis, the owner: what a character!

An excellent fish and seafood restaurant. There's no menu. But if you don't know what to choose, the owner will take you into the kitchen to show you his fresh catch of the day. We really appreciate this typical fish tavern where Corfiotes love to come and sit down, even on weekends during the winter... Facing the sea, in an idyllic setting, the owner is very friendly. Calamari, lobster, mussels, salads and spaghetti with shellfish, among others, are also on the menu. A local address not to be missed!

This Venetian building is perfect for a drink near a small urban beach. But En Plo also offers decent dining services. Fish or grilled meat dishes, tasty salads and a wide range of wines are likely to make your meal unforgettable as the secluded and quiet setting, with the sea in front of you, envelops it in magic. En Plo also serves excellent local wine and cocktails at fair prices.

Going down to the old port, between Donzelot Street and Zavitsianou Street, you will find this lovely tavern sheltered by a large patio. Nothing will disturb a meal that only the boats accompany. The place has a warm atmosphere thanks to the colours of the furniture and the hospitality of the waiters. The Greeks mix with the tourists in one of those cacophonies that one gets used to with a smile. Right in front of the port, with a beautiful view, one goes there rather to have lunch and to watch the maritime life.

We will concede that it is certainly not the restaurant of the corner which has the most taste as regards the decoration. Clearly, we flirt with excess! And yet, the place is honest and above all pleasant to enjoy traditional Greek cuisine, facing the sea, with a beautiful terrace and sheltered by a large patio and the staff makes great efforts to make the moment pleasant. Declared "best restaurant in Gouvia" by the village

An off-the-beaten-track address that never fails to fill up. This tavern has been in existence since 1948, as indicated on the front. It serves traditional Greek and Corfiote dishes, with fresh meat and fish. It's above all the picturesque atmosphere of the establishment, thanks to its proximity to the sea and the Greek families who eat there, that makes it a singular place. A little pricey for a tavern, though. The owner is adorable and speaks a little French. Delicious, typical and affordable dishes. A quiet moment by the sea.

This family-run tavern is the place to go for a meal in the village of Lakones. Like its neighboring establishments, it offers a small terrace with a breathtaking view of the bay and a wide choice of home-cooked dishes. Prices may be a little steep compared with other restaurants in the area, but there's a good selection on offer: stifado, lamb kebabs, the inevitable horiatiki, as well as homemade desserts such as the excellent lemon tart or the moist orange cake. Finally, the service is excellent.

An institution. Here, Chef Dimitris welcomes you and your family! You'll be able to sample all the most traditional Corfu recipes, as well as creative Greek dishes such as lamb cooked in a lemon sauce, Samiotiko (a pork tenderloin with sesame seeds in a Samos wine sauce) and much more. With your feet in the water, you can also sample the catch of the day with a fine quality of fish, ready for grilling. Other options include grilled calamari stuffed with local cheese or small marinated fresh fish.

A great address with good food, a nice atmosphere and a slightly slow service that invites you to relax. Because in season, this little address is very popular! Ideal for families (but not only), it features friendly hammocks and a giant chessboard. On the menu: salads and Greek classics, with rather generous portions. There's a lovely view of the sea and the property is very pleasant. The little extra when we dropped in: sticks of citronella essential oil, perfect for keeping the mosquitoes at bay!

The first customer came in over twenty years ago. The family likes to say they started with a few tables and the business has flourished ever since. On the menu: Mediterranean cuisine with vegetarian and resolutely locavore options (and house wine). A five-minute walk from the sea, you can also order snacks for a picnic on the beach. The tavern also has a grocery store stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables and traditional Greek souvenirs (kumquat, olive soap, tea, local herbs...).

Excellent family restaurant by the sea. Simple, quality cuisine and impeccable service. This place had been recommended to us by locals because the food, we were told, was delicious, with breathtaking sunsets. Very true. We booked a table on the terrace. The homemade tzatziki was fabulous, as was the seafood, which was very tasty. The staff were lovely, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended, with excellent value for money and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere.

Ideally located at the end of the Kanoni peninsula, this Greek-Mediterranean restaurant is one of the culinary addresses to try in Corfu. First for the setting and the breathtaking view of one of the island's must-see spots, the church of Pontikonisi, and the spectacular aircraft landings nearby. Then for the dishes, worked with passion and elegance, on a basis of fresh products oriented towards the sea. Our favorite for a romantic dinner.

Ideal for dining, as the view of the sea and sunset is magnificent. On the small pier perched on the water's edge, a varied menu featuring traditional Greek cuisine, fish and seafood (including grilled squid and sea bream), fresh shellfish and a choice of meat dishes. But above all, ask to see the day's catch, brought in by Nikolakis and Georgotzis, the two local boats. At the end of the meal, we were offered a phenomenal homemade kumquat liqueur. The service is very professional and friendly.
