The best restaurants Corfou Chora (Kerkyra)

A must-visit address for Corfiote gastronomy: Franco-Greek Aristotelis Megoulas is one of those meticulous chefs who work tirelessly with only local, seasonal produce, and the results speak for themselves. We were extraordinarily surprised by the finesse of his Greek, French and Italian-inspired "cucina nobile", and by the quality of the dishes served. We can't recommend it highly enough, and happy diners keep coming back. The setting is not to be outdone, on a raised piazza shaded by trees.

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!

This is probably the best place in town to eat fish! In winter or autumn, you can enjoy the divine fish soup here. Otherwise, you'll have plenty of choice and probably want to come back. Fresh cod on the grill with steamed vegetables, spaghetti with prawns, half-cooked tuna served with celery purée, squid carpaccio, not to mention fresh lobster with pasta: everything is delicious! What's more, the decoration and presentation of the dishes are meticulous.

A very good address for Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Giovanni and his team try to keep the dishes authentic, simply prepared but always very tasty. Pizzas, pastas and seafood are on the menu, with a little luck you can try the pasta al nero di seppia, a delicious dish with squid ink. The place is charming at the end of the Spianada square and its large kiosk offering a view of the old fort and the marina below. If you miss the cucina italiana , this is the place to come and eat.

Bread and souvlakis, as its name indicates, but also very good homemade French fries and some salads. Very simple, very good and very cheap. There are also local beers, such as Corfu and Ionian.

Rendezvous in a superb address and its beautiful setting. "Avli" means the small courtyard of the house in Greek. And it is true and well named! This restaurant makes you feel at home, between family cooking and warm atmosphere. Enjoy great seafood, fish, or other local specialties, in a relaxing setting overlooking the sea and the fort, away from the city center.The dishes are delicious (and rather hearty). We recommend you to share them, Greek style!

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.

This welcoming restaurant, with its tables set outside as soon as the weather permits, serves one of the best homemade corfiotes, created here by the respected Marina Beska. In the heart of the old Jewish quarter, a little away from the popular tourist streets, take a sofrito (beef cooked with white wine and garlic), bourdeto fish (cooked in the oven with a spicy tomato sauce)... The pasta with Corfu pancetta and mushrooms is creamy and worth a visit! The owner will also welcome you with friendliness!

Another excellent Italian restaurant in the old town. Despite the moderate prices, the cuisine is fine, with white tablecloths, a romantic setting and very good Greek wines. The food is fresh and perfectly seasoned. You may want to have a beef carpaccio followed by a fresh pasta dish and the sage ravioli is an absolute delight. There is also the penne à la pergola, with truffles. In short, fine food and good wine just a few steps from downtown Corfu. Don't forget to book, especially at weekends.

Housed in a ^17th-century Venetian building, let yourself be stunned by a sophisticated combination of flavors, colors and textures for a gastronomy of the highest level. Lamb with eggplant purée, fig chutney and potatoes with marjoram and thyme are among the chef's signature dishes. Alternatively, try his caramelized onion tart or veal cheeks with ginger, lemongrass and honey. Accompany your meal with one of the 700 references of Greek, French and world wines, one of the finest cellars in Greece.

Located above the "walls" (hence the name mouragia) overlooking the sea, praised and frequented mainly by locals, at the exit of the Liston and on the old port of Corfu, this tavern serves the great Corfu classics such as the pastitsada and the sofrito. 10 minutes from downtown, it is an excellent address, very authentic. Don't rely on the "Traditional Greek food" tourist catch sign: apart from the traditionally long service and the old-fashioned furniture, the kitchen is perfect. Mainly Greek customers.

The restaurant's tranquil setting contrasts with the large number of tables on the terrace, which are often packed to capacity. The restaurant has become one of the island's most popular addresses, thanks in part to the variety of dishes on offer, from local cuisine to homemade pizzas. The family-run operation does not detract from the charm of the place, as the staff help to make the meal enjoyable. It's also a ouzerie, where you can try this traditional alcohol.

An excellent address with a small veranda in a quiet street. In an alley in the old town, this family tavern offers typical Corfiote dishes: the cod Bianco, cooked with small vegetables and lemon, is sumptuous! Moussaka, grilled dishes, vegetables cooked in olive oil in the oven, there is something for everyone and the locals love the place even out of season! You must try the traditional dishes as well as the house wine. As for the decor, the kitchen is open and the setting simple and pleasant.

A very nice restaurant, which immediately makes you think of Italy. In the heart of the old town, an Italian chef and his Corfiote wife serve authentic Italian cuisine, inexpensive and quite rich (linguini with seafood, rigatoni in sauce, bruschetta with fresh tomatoes). Some antipasti can be enough as main courses as they are served copiously. Even the salads have enough to keep you going! With the added bonus of a fine wine list and delicious desserts such as the chocolate tart, not to be missed!

A popular address for the youth of Corfu who appreciate its original decoration with old photos of Greek films. A little away from the hustle and bustle, in a quiet alley, it is a simple restaurant, without fuss, with a very good cuisine. Around an ouzo and mezze, the atmosphere is friendly and the welcome is pleasant. On the menu: potatoes cooked in honey, herbs cooked with a home-made tomato sauce, oxtail, grilled mushrooms, the dishes are varied and original! Very good value for money.

Intimate setting on the ground floor of an old house in the centre of Corfu, in a quiet alley. The name of the tavern means "wine and flavours", and it is therefore recommended to match a spirit or wine with different mezzedes. On the menu: octopus salad, fried zucchini, spinach puffs, tzatziki... But you can also have more "robust" traditional Greek dishes: moussaka or meatballs with tomato sauce. In summer, the small establishment is quickly crowded, so it's better to book!

An ideal place, with a possible entrance through Liston, for a quality meal in an elegant atmosphere. On the white tablecloths, Corfiote specialties(sofrito, pastitsada, bourdeto...) cooked to perfection. Excellent lamb kleftiko and a light home-made spanakopita. Flavors from elsewhere will take you to the Cyclades with a fava from Santorini and of course to Italy with beautiful homemade pizzas - even if you don't come for that. In spite of a nice wine list, the house wine remains attractive. As for the service, it is impeccable.

Next to the Mouragia tavern, this seafront terrace boasts a breathtaking view. Despite its spotlight, it nevertheless retains an authentic feel, with a menu that focuses on local specialties(sofrito, pastitsada, stifado...) with an excellent little house wine "by the kilo". You'll soon forget about the road behind and immerse yourself in the dishes and the blue horizon. Ideal for lunch or before sunset. Then grab your coffee or dessert at Flo Café, a little further down the road and even closer to the water.

Locals will tell you that this is one of the few restaurants that remain a constant value on the island. The walls here bear the traces of a long complicity with the island. The menu also plays the card of the tradition with the classic corfiotes(sofrito, pastitsada, bourdeto...). Otherwise, the spaghetti with shrimps is perfect. Good choice of fish according to the arrivals. The service is very professional and the environment is calm. Despite the white tablecloths and the impeccable service, the prices, for the quality proposed, are very reasonable.
