1. Pane e Souvlaki: This Greek restaurant is located in the heart of the old town and serves up delicious home-style cooking. It's a laidback restaurant with pretty seating outside overlooking a beautiful square full of flowers and a church.There is a wide range of options for vegans and vegetarians here - Salads full of flavours and extremely fresh! Their greek salad is delicious, as well as their meat boxes that come with chips, pita breads (my favourite!) and your choice of meat. Everything on their menu is just so so good! Highly recommend.
2. Ninos Restaurant: This restaurant is known for its traditional Greek cuisine.The menu features a range of Greek dishes, such as moussaka, souvlaki, and tzatziki, made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. This is a family-run restaurant and you'll find that it's mostly locals go here. It's a hidden treasure for super greek food for really cheap prices! The moussaka and stuffed tomatoes is a personal favourite here!
3. To Pikandiko: This is more of a must. It's not really a sit down restaurant, it does have a few high chairs and a couple tables at the front but it's more 'fast food'. However, all the greeks know that this place does the BEST pita gyros ever. It's been around for years and it's owned by a Greek woman who's often always in there greeting customers. Their power is their 'secret sauce' which goes into their Pita gyros that just makes it heavenly! it's also only abut 3 euros! so cheap and very worth it.
4. Fishalida: This restaurant is set in Corfu town right by their food markets - which is always fun to explore and get fresh food if you're cooking up a bbq or fancy some delicious tomatoes etc! Fishalida is definitely a gem. It's not set in the most beautiful location however their seafood makes up for it. Their dishes always look and taste amazing. for Corfu, I would say this is quite and upmarket restaurant and their prices aren't as cheap as other restaurants but their food is the freshest it can be and done perfectly! They turn simple dishes into something special. The octopus with hummus is the best we've ever had! Their moussaka with prawns was also mouthwatering. Their staff go above and beyond, even giving us free dessert at the end with a variety of different cakes!
5.Taverna Agni: Located in the charming village of Agni, This restaurants perfect for those looking to sample the best of Greek food and culture. a wide range of dishes, made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, including seafood, grilled meats, and vegetables. The restaurant also offers a selection of local and regional wines to complement the food and create a truly authentic Greek dining experience. I've only ever been for lunches but during the day I can vouch for the unreal scenery. Their outdoor seating right by the sea is hard to beat. If you're on a boat for the day this is definitely the place to head to for lunch. Their aubergine stuffed rolls are divine!! It's a very homey, relaxing traditional Greek taverna on the beach.
6. Dionysus: Dionysus is a restaurant located in the village of Barbati in the North of Corfu. It's known for their traditional Greek cuisine, served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dionysus has been serving locals and visitors to the area for many years. The quality and pricing of the food here is amazing and really worth it. They also give you a lot of free warm delicious pita breads! I usually tend to get a couple starters here as that's my favourite thing to do. The aubergine dip and Tzatiki tastes sooo good. The restaurant's also got an outside seating area overlooking Barbati beach from the top.
7. Mitsos Taverna: I love this restaurant. It's very close to home for me so it's definitely a special one! Mitsos Taverna is a family-run restaurant that has been serving the local community for many many years. It has such a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's in Nissaki which is the North part of Corfu. The Tzatziki and chicken souvlaki are especially popular, and are made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. It's also known for its beautiful location, right by the crystal blue sea and its lush greenery, cute sofas, and just the panoramic views of the sea surrounding you.

8. Stazei Meli: For the sweet tooth lovers! If you don't know what Loukoumades is a popular Greek dessert made of deep-fried dough balls soaked in honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. But this place has THE BEST. They have a variety of flavours where they stuff the mini donuts with white chocolate, oreo fillings and whatever filling you can think of. it's heavenly. This small cafe is based in Corfu old town in a beautiful square where you can wander around with your Loukomades in hand or have a seat at their cafe - there are only a few tabes as it's on a very small quaint street!
