Restaurant – Fish Taverna Klimataria Benitses
The restaurant – fish taverna Klimataria is a small family business of Nikos and Lily Bellos. The Arbor opened in February 1997 and is open from February to November. Located in the centre of the picturesque village of Benitses, across the new marina, housed on the ground floor of a beautiful, historic building.
The restaurant was born through our love for traditional food, everything is made out of our hands with the best and fresh quality ingredients that Corfu generously offers.
Nick and Lily cook all restaurant dishes daily: Nikos cooks fresh fish and spicy and hot dishes, and Lily the salads and all the fluffy pastries.
Fresh and quality ingredients
In the restaurant-tavern Klimataria, a top priority is the high quality of our food and the freshness of ingredients we use – in this matter we make no compromise!
Menu depended on what is fresh every season
In our menu, we give emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients with which we prepare our food. So the restaurant menu varies according to what’s fresh in the local market of Corfu at the time. Of course, there is always the possibility to pre-order in time the fish you want, or a traditional dish of your choice, to give us the opportunity to look for it and have it ready for you when you visit us.
Indicatively, we recommend:
- zucchini
- octopus
- bianco fish
- marinated anchovies
- bourdeto fish
Because Arbor has only 11 tables (6 inBest Benitses restaurants the courtyard and 5 in the beautiful hall), we recommend that you reserve a table by phone us at 26610-71201 as early as possible so that we can serve you.
