Captain Octopus: Seafood Restaurant in Benitses Corfu

  Excelent service and very good food with fresh ingredients. We will definitely come back here eat 🙂

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

  Nice family restaurant with cosy atmosphere and good food. Their lemon cake is super tasty. Friendly service and huge portions.

  Visit was really nice. The owners are so cute and frendly, the woman looks the same as Lisbona in La casa de Papel!! So if you are a fan, you... read more have to go! Food was delicious and prices are appropriate. Really nice experience. Greetings from Slovenia

  We were recommended this taverna by the “the locals” and it did not disappoint.

Run by several generations of the same family it’s everything you would hope for... read more on the beautiful Island of Corfu..

The fresh fish prepared by Captain Octopus himself and his beautiful wife and family endure you have the best experience..

Perhaps saving the best until last the owners mother makes a dessert called Orange pie accompanied by vanilla cream.. seriously you he best dessert I have ever had,

Truly a feast worthy of the Gods!

  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).

  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.

  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!

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

  Fantastic family restaurant, really friendly owners and staff, great coffee and food, so good we went there on the way to the Palace and again on the way back. Brilliant... read more thanks.

  Absolutely love this restaurant. I visited before when they first opened and have returned a happy customer. The food is the best on the strip, with a large open kitchen... read more so you can trust how your food is being prepared.
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.

  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.

  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.

  Lovely bar with great food

(Wonderful clean toilets)

Great views of the harbour too we particularly enjoyed the service - very friendly

Owner has an... read more amazing beard

  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!

  Stopped here for early dinner. And ordered the octopus in sauce with pasta which is traditional on the island. The octopus was tender and sauce was deep in flavour. 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.
