The best bars and cafés Corfu

Located in a street adjacent to the Liston, this bar deserves to be known. The terrace is set in the heart of old Corfu. This pleasant café - and less expensive than the palace of the same name in Paris - is pleasant during the day for its jazz or lounge music, then it turns into a lively bar in the evening, literally taken over by Corfu students. The cocktails are delicious: try the very original one made with kumquat liqueur, a specialty of the island! It's called the "kumquat o'clock", and it's a real treat!

Winter and summer alike, this trendy café is a favourite with Corfiotes. As we walked by, we noticed that its outdoor terrace was always busy. And we quickly understand why! The view on the bay and the old fort of Corfu is irresistible. The coffee is very good, and the breakfasts too! Try the feta cheese omelette for example, it's very tasty. The café serves snacks all day, burgers, huge salads and excellent sandwiches. If you are with your family, the children can play in the nearby park.

One of the many cafés along the Liston: this beautiful café has a large terrace overlooking the Spianada, Corfu's large park, which is a very pleasant spot in all seasons. The atmosphere is friendly, and Corfiotes are happy to mingle with tourists for long evenings! It's one of the town's most popular - and often fully booked - places to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine at any time of day. You can sit for hours and watch the crowds go by on their way to and from the beach and the old town.

We're so happy to find a (real) espresso in the old town! Here, a few tables overlook one of Corfu's quietest and most pleasant squares. A small inner courtyard, to the left of the bar, is very pleasant and shady. A relaxing atmosphere, with a little music, and very comfortable seats. A beautiful courtyard, with a huge fan when the heat is on. Coffee and drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly. And if it's too hot, try the iced tea, not bad either...

It bears its name in all simplicity on the eponymous promenade. On this esplanade, which looks like the Rue de Rivoli, the prices are not the same as in Paris, however, and the atmosphere is undoubtedly a little more relaxed. Despite a well-stocked menu, we must admit that we prefer to come here for a drink, to chat and to watch life go by. It's ideal at the end of the evening and practical when waiting for the bus to go to Kanoni or before the taxi to the airport for example. The place is also worth a visit for its breakfasts.

A beautiful place to spend the day. This beach bar with deckchairs and big cosy sofas is beautiful between the sea, the beach and the greenery of a well kept garden. The service is professional and you can have a coffee or a drink in the evening. The quality of the entire offer, from coffee to food to cocktails, contrasts with the rest of the offer on the beach. The establishment also offers excellent dishes: risottos, pastas, salads, burgers... There is also an accessories store (jewelry, ceramics, souvenirs).

A couple of James Bond fans have lined the café with photos from the 007 films. Released in 1981, Nothing But Your Eyes was partly filmed in Corfu, particularly in the Paleokastritsa area. One scene was even filmed at the very location of the café. Connoisseurs will recognize it, or the owners will remind you. Otherwise, Eleni, the owner, prepares excellent lemon and apple cakes. You can also have mezzedes washed down with ouzo. To top it all off, the welcome here is very friendly.

Here's an establishment in the hills that can be reached by car via a very narrow path (although it's also possible to get there on foot). Terrace with a splendid view of the coast of Afionas and the beach of Aghios Georgios, impeccable service, and a real treat on the plate. You can stop off here after a sporty jaunt to Porto Timoni, one of Corfu's most beautiful beaches. The menu is well-stocked with good, hearty dishes. However, the restaurant is a little pricey, so we recommend just having a coffee or dessert!

Faced with yachts and pleasure boats, sipping a cool cocktail in summer is a must! At the Wave Bar, you can choose between excellent cocktails, smoothies, crêpes and desserts. While the drinks menu is well-stocked, you can also come to the Wave Bar for brunch, a burger, pita sandwich or pizza... The staff are friendly, and the DJ keeps the party going all night long! Food and atmosphere. You'll also have the best view of the harbor all the way to Albania.

This wine bar, run by Pavlos Soueref, offers a nice menu for a drink before eating, which you can accompany with a plate of 24-month-old gravel. There is also an elegant dining area with wine-related decorations such as corks and wine crates, as well as an open kitchen, where you may want to linger. Its creative dishes offer Greek cuisine revisited like this delicious octopus casserole with mastic, thyme, caramelised onions and fava

A snack bar ideally located near the Canal d'Amour. In the kitchen, you will be served quality snack food , often accompanied by homemade fries. During the day, you can enjoy a cocktail by the pool and in the evening a beer while playing a game of pool. In season, theme nights are organized and it is here that the festive and joyful atmosphere of the mild Greek summer evenings is established. The service is really nice, the two young brothers who run the place are in a contagious good mood.
