  The owner was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the dishes the restaurant serves. She took time to explain the dishes and even left us with a tablet so we could... read more see pictures of them. The meal my husband, son and I had was beautiful. The staff were attentive and friendly.

  ....but a friendly, clean taverna with excellent service and charming hosts who were obligingly helpful as I made an arse of myself trying to speak Greek! Lovely experience.

  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.

  Captain octopus’s restaurant is our favourite place to eat in Corfu! We covid yes twice during our week away! The food is amazing!! I’d highly recommend the garlic mushrooms to... read more start and the prawn linguine is out of this world. The most welcoming family restaurant, with a relaxed ambience!! Will definitely visit again when I’m next in Corfu!!!

  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).

  Captain Octopus offers the best of welcome and advice. Good food at good prices. Captain Octopus also has the best beard in Corfu. You can’t go wrong here. Lovely place,... read more lovely people.

  We tried both the grilled octopus and the octopus pastisada and they were delicious. Cooked to be very tender, just the way octopus should be. Betty was very friendly and... read more gave us lots of Corfu recommendations too. It's a wonderful/welcoming restaurant! Stop here on your Corfu trip!

  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

  The food was excellent and the service was more than great.
Very beautiful people and you can order everything you want .
