  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!

  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.

  On first impressions this looked like a perfect spot for us to eat and the reviews looked good. We ordered food and drink at the same time. The drinks arrived... read more halfway through the main meal. The food looked like it had been thrown on the plate. They own a cat, as do I, and while I love them I don't let mine paw my lap while I eat. The owners wife came out an apolagised as we were leaving and offered a free fruit salad and then as I was paying the bill said if we could come back we would get a free bottle of her husbands wine. Needless to say we declined all and will not be going back

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.
