When tradition meets quality, we have an amazing result in the restaurant-taverna of Captain Octopus.
Corfiot cuisine without interference in its purest form.
This is the restaurant-taverna of Captain Octopus in Benitses, Corfu
Captain Octopus Restaurant – taverna
The story begins in 1935, when Grandfather Antonis, a renowned fisherman in the Benitses area, decided to open his restaurant, Kafe, to invite his friends to enjoy fresh fish and a variety of mezedes prepared by his wife, Granny Aspasia, an exceptional cook.
That is how the magical journey began and continues to this day with the third generation of the current Captain Octopus.
Benitses Restaurants and Bars
The Philosophy of the Captain is to cook the same way his grandparents did.
The main ingredient of the captain’s kitchen is virgin olive oil and pure spices, all carefully selected with love.
In our Traditional Corfu-flavored cuisine, the lovely Pastitsada with octopus or beef cheeks is always freshly cooked in our saucepans.
Fish, either wild or farmed, are always carefully selected with criteria for the best quality.
Squid is crispy and soft as the culinary laws stipulate, to accompany the ouzo or the local wine that the captain makes for his guests each year.
The Family Atmosphere is characteristic of Captain Octopus because there are no clients but guests in his home.
The good Greek music and even the dancing are basic components of the atmosphere of the restaurant.
The guests at Captain Octopus Taverna are invited to feel the Greek flavors on their palate and to get to know the Greek hospitality and culture for which the Captain feels proud.
