Captain Octopus: Seafood Restaurant in Benitses Corfu

  Probably the nicest and most helpful restaurant owners we we've ever encountered. The wife explained to us about different local dishes before we sat at the restaurant and at no... read more point we felt pressed to sit down.
We left and came back later as we had had such a pleasant exchange and liked the team has such passion ('meraki' as they say in Greek) for what they do.

The food was exquisite and we were introduced to an off menu dish, a fried cheese called talagani (similar to haloumi but much tastier).

  The food was good, the staff were very polite, great atmoshere. I recommend the sea food and the baklava

  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!

  Really nice (family owned and run) place to visit. We found it by a chance. It was very fortunate for Us. Food was amazingly fresh, prepared just as you order,... read more not in advance. Yes it takes more time to get the food on the table, but it was so worth it.
Authentic Greek flavour of Tzatziki , I recommend Souvlaki( they serve grilled meat combined with lemon which adds lovely acidity ,lovely taste ). Local Corfu fresh, not pasteurised beer is a must.
Seafood was a tempting as the rest.
The owner was very helpful , when asked about local activities , had plenty of tips and ideas for us to try.
I totally recommend this spot.
The hygiene was also very good. The staff were wearing mask all the time, on the table you could find hand sanitiser, . We felt save eating there.

  The owner was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the dishes the restaurant serves. She took time to explain the dishes and even left us with a tablet so we could... read more see pictures of them. The meal my husband, son and I had was beautiful. The staff were attentive and friendly.

  2 days ago i was with my family in this restaurant and i should say that everything was pretty fine until the boss, a woman and a waiter started shouting... read more in the middle of the restaurant in front of all the costumers. The had literally no consideration for anything and it was like they were alone. The woman was pretty loud and i don't care who was right or who was wrong because the entire experience was ruined and we left with an extremely unpleasant feeling.

  Fantastic service. Amazing shrimp spaghetti and great mixed grill kebab. Highly recommend despite the price. It’s a bit pricey but you get more than what you pay for.

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.

  Really enjoyed our meal, beautiful fresh Calamari, and the Slovaki was delicious. The complimentary creme brulee topped off the evening.
