The Venetian Well

Overlooking the picturesque Kremasti Square, this restaurant takes its name from the very well that stands as the square’s centrepiece. This is gastronomical fine-dining, combining age-old traditions with modern techniques.

The restaurant provides a romantic experience, ideal for couples looking for the best restaurants in Corfu for a celebration.

We personally like the sound of the Monkfish. Which comes served with vegetable beetroot mouse and a luxurious Bottraga Caviar lime air.

Pomo D’Oro

Another high-end restaurant in Corfu is that of Pomo D’oro, providing diners with a twist of modern Greek cuisine.

Owned by Chef Aristotelis Mengoulas, the restaurant has achieved a lot in a very short space of time. Having achieved both local and international recognition.

An array of intriguing dishes await, including a cockerel pastitsada, wrapped in a pastry Kataifa, normally associated with sweet dishes.

Cavalieri Hotel Roof Garden

The views from the Cavalieri Hotel Roof Garden are worth booking a table for alone. In one direction there’s a skyline of Corfu’s Old Town, while face the other way and you’ll see the fishing boats bringing in the days catch.

It’s worth noting, the restaurant is usually only open during the main holiday season. So if you’re looking for a quiet time, try and book during the first week of June or towards the end of September.

Old Fortress Restaurant

As the name suggests, the Old Fortress Restaurant is in one of Corfu’s main attractions. The ancient monument dates back to the early days of the 15^th century.

Although in modern-times, as well as attracting tourists from an historic perspective, there’s much more to experience. While the café provides a quick stop for a coffee or a lunchtime bite to eat, it’s the restaurant itself that provides very much a traditional menu.

Maistro

You can’t have a more authentic dining experience much closer to the sea than at Maistro. Book a table and you’ll soon benefit from the sea breeze.

There’s a vast selection to choose from on the menu, but we’d recommend sticking to the traditional Greek dishes. As for the best time to visit, how about watching the sunset over the beaches of Acharavi? If you plan your visit for Tuesday nights, then you’ll be entertained by live Greek music and dancing.
