CORFU. Where to enjoy the best traditional dishes of the island, or seafood, or a drink? Follow us...

Corfu! One of the most famous destinations to spend Easter! Easter in Corfu is celebrated with special respect. The people of Corfu call it 'Lampri' or 'Lambria' to express the splendour of the day. Processions, Amletos, the pots at Liston, and the dimmed lanterns create an unparalleled atmosphere of reverence that transports us away from the everyday life of the town. All these make Corfu Easter unique! Whether with your friends or your family, one thing is certain... Everything will be unforgettable! But where will you enjoy the best traditional dishes of the island, or seafood, or have a drink? We will give you a little tour of the best spots!

Rex Restaurant

The Rex is located on one of the most picturesque streets in Corfu Town, a location ideal for offering a wonderful atmosphere for lunch or dinner.

The interior of our restaurant is decorated with great attention to detail and enriched with paintings by the Corfiot artist Kentarchos.

All of the above create a warm and pleasant space. Every menu we create is meant to be a gastronomic journey, not just a collection of various dishes. It is created with passion and dedication, and we love to share it with our guests.

Porta Otturata, steak and wine bar

A place for high-quality gastronomic experiences - Porta Otturata, steak and wine bar.

In the former location of Square, you will have the opportunity to enjoy Dry-aged cuts such as Rib Eye or Tomahawk. Among the menu suggestions, the slow-cooked lamb shank braised with caramelised roasted carrots, sweet potato puree, and black garlic & oregano sauce stands out, as well as the exquisite beef carpaccio.

The menu also includes handmade pasta, delicious burgers, creative vegetarian options that highlight the rich flavour of vegetables, as well as various platters of cheeses and cold cuts, with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients.

A special place is also held by the Bourbon fries—golden, crispy fried potatoes with bourbon barbecue sauce, cheese cream, crispy bacon, and aromatic herbs! Wine lovers will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of labels to find the perfect wine to pair with their meal, creating the ultimate combination of flavours (wine pairing).

Chàvez Cafeteria Drinkeria

An all-day spot in the town centre, on the pedestrian street of Evg. Voulgareos. With its unique Renaissance design, it quickly won the hearts of Corfiots of all ages. Its rustic lights decorate the ceiling and create a sense of warmth in the space. A place that takes you to another era, theatrical, unique, expressive. At Chavez, you will enjoy quality coffee and signature cocktails, accompanied by specially selected music, creating the perfect environment for any kind of break, from early morning until late evening. One thing is for sure! Once you pass through the door, you'll become a regular!

Tripas – Taverna

I don’t think there is a taverna with a reputation greater than that of Tripa in Kynopiastes, or one that has hosted so many important personalities. It was created by Uncle Spyros Ifantis, and many notable figures have passed through the place, including Aristotle Onassis with Jackie, Anthony Quinn, Melina Mercouri, Francois Mitterrand, and many others. Seasonal salads, a variety of cold cuts and cheeses, sausages, stifado, sofrito, pastitsada, real fried potatoes with grated cheese, roasted pork, and roasted lamb are all served. For dessert, there is yoghurt with honey or kumquat, and countless seasonal fruits. Open daily.
