  Great meal, I can highly recommend the whole sea bass! Nice atmosphere, must try the homemade captain octopus wine, best wine I have had the whole holiday, dangerously quaffable!! The... read more restaurant did forget to bring us out our frites but the portions were generous so we did not miss them.. saved the extra calories for the wine instead! My husband had the grilled octopus and really enjoyed that too!

  I was with my girlfriend on the restaurant and at first everything seemed good, little did we know that we had to wait for more than an hour to eat... read more and even when the food arrived it was almost rotten . Also, the prices are very high and we wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody

  Just returned from a great week in Corfu and ate at this wonderful restaurant twice.
The sea bass and octopus were the best I have ever eaten and I even... read more got my non fish eating son to have sea bass.... he loved it !! The wine was fabulous and the husband and wife team made us feel so welcome .I cannot recommend this place enough.

  The long beard of the owner and the smile and kindness of his wife are a warm welcome to their tavern where Greek music is played on the stereo. Relaxing... read more atmosphere. In the menu you can also find grilled Halloumi cheese from Cyprus which is surprisingly good!

  Though they had beautiful table linen the food itself wasn't very good. We threw the octopus for the stray cat that was begging under our table. I'm pretty sure the... read more feline is still chewing on it. Not worth the money.

  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

Would recommend and would go back.
