Discover the island’s finest restaurants and cafés

Corfu! One of the most famous destinations to spend Easter! Easter in Corfu is celebrated with special reverence. The locals call it “Lambri” or “Lambria” to express the brilliance of the day. Processions, the Amletos, the kanátia at Liston, and the glowing lanterns create an unparalleled atmosphere of devotion that takes us far away from the everyday city life.

All of this makes Easter in Corfu truly unique! Whether with friends or family, one thing is certain… these experiences will stay with you forever! But where can you enjoy the island’s best traditional dishes, fresh seafood, or drinks? We’ll give you a little tour of the very best!

Vittori All Day Long

Vittori is an all-day bistro bar in the heart of Corfu’s old town. Come and experience an atmosphere where aesthetics meet exquisite flavours. Excellent service. A beautiful spot with an air-conditioned lounge for warm days, outstanding staff, high-quality food and drinks. Wonderful brunch… fresh smoothies, and in the evening… perhaps the best cocktails you’ve ever tasted. An exceptional and extensive selection of drinks.

Mikro Cafe

Since 1996, Mikró Café has built a loyal following for almost three consecutive decades. In its privileged location, you can enjoy aromatic coffee every day, with time seeming to stand still on the same uphill spot in the town. A meeting point for familiar faces from Corfu, students, passersby, and tourists alike, it maintains a unique yet unpretentious style.

Pitonostimies – A family tradition of taste since 1999

There are some places in Corfu where the aroma of perfectly roasted meat and freshly baked pies becomes intertwined with the town’s history. “Pitonostimies” is one such landmark, having successfully balanced, since 1999, the authenticity of the past with the demands of today.

It all began with the vision of Christoforos and Avgerini Mitsialis, who transformed the charming alley of Agios Vassileios into a gastronomic destination. Today, the tradition continues in the hands of Periklis and Tatsis Mitsialis. Beyond the classic grilled dishes, here you can savour authentic Corfiot pastitsada and sofrito, cooked according to the traditional recipes. Handmade, fluffy pies embrace their own handmade gyro and select meats.

Whether you find yourself wandering the narrow streets of the Old Town or in the bustling Spilia area, the experience remains the same: a welcoming atmosphere, fresh ingredients, and a passion for great food.

Tripa Taverna

I don’t think there’s a taverna with a reputation bigger than Tripa in Kynopiastes, or that has hosted so many notable personalities. It was founded by “Barba” Spyros Ifantis, and over the years the place has welcomed Aristotelis Onassis with Jackie, Anthony Quinn and Melina Mercouri, François Mitterrand, and many others. Seasonal salads, a variety of cold cuts and cheeses, sausages, stifado, sofrito, pastitsada, real pan-fried potatoes with grated cheese, roasted pork and lamb… and for dessert, yoghurt with honey or kumquats, as well as countless seasonal fruits. Open daily.
