“AVLI” Authentic Greek Cuisine with a Special Touch
Located at the quieter end of the bustling waterfront in Benitses, Corfu, AVLI restaurant is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the area’s standout dining spots.

The Menu
The menu is creative, thoughtful, and rooted in authentic Greek cuisine. What elevates the dishes is the careful attention to the quality of ingredients—everything we tried was beautifully prepared, using fresh, local products that brought out the best of Mediterranean flavors.
Dishes aren’t just tasty; they’re presented with care, reflecting a balance between traditional flavors and modern culinary creativity. Every plate felt intentional, from appetizers to desserts.
Impeccable Service with a Personal Touch
One of the most memorable aspects of dining at AVLI is the warm, impeccable service. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly.
