Captain Octopus: Seafood Restaurant in Benitses Corfu

  Stopped here for early dinner. And ordered the octopus in sauce with pasta which is traditional on the island. The octopus was tender and sauce was deep in flavour. Kids... read more had burgers which were juicy and well seasoned obviously home made although they came with no burger bun which kids expected but they enjoyed them nevertheless. Chips were crunchy and delicious.
We shared lamb chops too and although a little over cooked for my taste they were tasty and fresh. Also sampled the local wine which was a great accompaniment to the meal.
Would recommend and would go back.

  Best calamari on the island. Try the Mix Fish dish it's gorgeous. Lovely service and watch out for the cat called Whisky, she's a cutie !

  Great Food, nice and friendly people, authentic experience. Family run restaurant, strongly recommend it! Seafood is amazing here.

  Absolutely love this restaurant. I visited before when they first opened and have returned a happy customer. The food is the best on the strip, with a large open kitchen... read more so you can trust how your food is being prepared.
I don't eat seafood but saw it being brought in fresh each day so that's also reassuring.
I had cold coffee each morning, and ate here most evenings or lunchtimes. The briam is excellent, and the gemiste too are huge. Betty even got in some vegan friendly desserts for me! If you have a specific diet just ask, they have plenty of options which Betty can tell you.

The owners Betty and Alex (the captain) are really welcoming and the restaurant has a genuine authentic feel with flowers everywhere and traditional music. I would definitely recommend.

  Super fresh and friendly
The seafood was amazing fresh and souvlaki soooooo tasty.We definitely come back. Highly recommended

  Excellent fish food. Everything was fresh and well cooked. Friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommended. Its a must visit place once you visit Corfu. Best fish tavern !!!!

  Had the best seafood of my life here! All of it was soo fresh and cooked to perfection! The hospitality is amazing we came here as recommended by our hotel... read more and the husband and wife that run the restaurant really looked after us! The wine is made by the guy that owns the restaurant and was so good we took 2 bottles back to the hotel with us! I've never been back to a restaurant 2 nights on the run when on holiday but we're going back tomorrow and cannot wait.

  This restaurant is not just a place to eat, it's an experience that will remain with you for years to come; it's a family run restaurant, and I mean proper... read more Greek family spanning 3 generations as well as cousins, aunties, uncles and what not;
All the food on the menu is made fresh and you can watch it being cooked if you want, as they wanted an open kitchen for people to see it with their own eyes;
We ordered a few appetizers like bruschetta, anchovies, dolmadakia, stuffed pepper and they were all fresh out of the oven, simply delicious, the bread still so hot that we had to wait a while for it to cool down;
As mains, we ordered the octopus pastisdada, sardine bourdeto and mousaka, all to die for!
The mousaka started an argument between the missus and my brother: she insisted that the mousaka had to have potatoes in it ( the Irish and their spuds!), while the brother argued that every Greek cookery programme he's ever watched made no mention of potatoes in the mousaka; so we had to resort to mediation by asking the waiter about this all important detail; he said that traditionally the mousaka is not made with potatoes but some families would put potato slices at the bottom of the pan, so he essentially saved my marriage!
If you are in Corfu, don't miss this place

Like to say special thanks to the owner of the restaurant we had a lovely chat with her, and she gave us the in’s and outs of the island. Definitely would go again.

  While I was in Corfu I attended this restaurant twice (the food’s so nice I came back twice). Great if you’re looking for traditional Greek cuisine or fresh seafood. Mussels... read more Saganaki were a highlight for me. Excellent service from a family owned restaurant. The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. The best restaurant I visited in my 7 days on the island!
