Captain Octopus: Seafood Restaurant in Benitses Corfu

  We have just came back and this restaurant was one of the most visited from us. We loved food. They make very tasty apatizeres and main dishes were amazing. As... read more a vegetarian, it was still plenty to choose from. And owners are amazing. Very helpful and nice people. They even gave us present when we left. I would 100%recommend to visit this restaurant and try their food. As we been told to come back for Easter break, just can't wait to go back and eat again.

  A lovely family run restaurant with lots of personal touches. The owners were very welcoming, and brought us complimentary food with our order. Great atmosphere, with quirky decoration (a lot... read more of it done during lockdown). Really good food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

  I was in Benitses with my friend for a week and on the first day we found this place. The atmosphere is very different than the rest of the places... read more on that area. The crew are very kind and helpful. We had great time there with drinks and food and the crew was a great company. The food is very good and if you are there you must drink ouzo. Also try the Corfu Red beer. I hope I can go back one day.

  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!

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

  We came across this restaurant by accident on the first day we got here, and we have another 13 days to go!! We were walking along the Main Street where... read more the restaurants are and came across Captain Octopus. Well what can I say apart from it was fabulous. Everything from start to finish. Excellent service and extremely attentive. We had Greek salad to start along with feta cheese with honey and then sea bass, and of course some Rose wine to wash it all down with. All delicious. You must try this place you would be foolish not to. We will back for certain.

  Just a lovely friendly family restaurant. It's so good we ate there 3 nights out of 7. The menu choice is very good and the fish choices are excellent.

  100% authentic and honest experience, this is what I call a host, who doesnt only know what hospitality at its best means, who has also the heart at the right... read more place.

We met the owners Alex and his wife, who sat on the table and introduced my girlfriend and me to the little fisher man town Benitses and Corfu. Within a very short time we didnt feel like being in the restaurant with foreign people, we felt like at home. We talked about politics, people life in this village, history in this area, life and work in gastronomie and life visions and pricipals for almost 2 hours.

They both really show you as a guest what matters in life through there love for hospitality and incredible fresh greek seafood and fish. We had a sea bream which was very good and a seafood platter, also delicoious and good value for money. Then we also had an extraordinary wine, which Alex recommended, this is home produced by his friend, very unique and great taste.

All in all a wonderful evening to be remembered in our lifes, we didnt expect to have such rich conversations but this is the beauty of travelling and getting inspired. Alex and wife gave us with this experience some new inspirations and represented the country and people there at its best.

Thank you and see you soon.

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.
