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.

  Had an absolutely lovely time there with my family today. the restaurant is extremely accommodating, especially the staff, guiding us to the best spots. Chefs were great, food was gorgeous,... read more and locally sourced. 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.

  We had a wonderful meal last night and Betty and Alex are such a lovely couple. My husband had fresh octopus and I had the sea bream, which was the... read more best I have ever had. It is my favourite fish and if ever I see it on the menu I always choose it. The octopus was also excellent, contrary to one earlier review. We had bruschetta to start, which was also excellent.
We will definitely be going back as we are in Corfu for 2 weeks.
They are such a lovely couple and Betty is so engaging,warm and friendly. She has lots of colourful geraniums outside and I stopped to take a photo and she started chatting about the flowers, which we share a mutual passion. She is a lovely lady and they deserve to make a success of their fledgling business.

  Truly loved the friendly service at Captain's place, they really made you feel welcome like you are family without beeing superficial. You can choose to sit inside or outside, free... read more wifi available if you ask fo it. Food very tasty, service very awake and fast.
