Only recently opened, this is already established as one of the island's few top flight restaurants. Located in the cente of the old town, its gifted young chef/proprietor Megoulas Aristoteles developed his skills in Bologna and now creates his exceptional dishes based on traditional Mediterranean recipes using Italian technique. A recent French restaurant guide describes his plats as works of art. No doubt he has inherited some of his flair from his father, a renowned Greek sculptor.

This gem of a hotel is the first of its kind in Corfu. Only nine extremely elegant rooms set in a Venetian town house built in 1823. It was one of the homes of an aristocratic Greek family now owned by one of its scions Luca Metaxas whose grandmother Siorra Victoria occupied it for many years. After a period in New York Luca decided to forego success in the financial world and to supervise and direct a lavish project for the refurbishment and decoration of this place with tremendous style and superb taste. It opened in August 2005. There is an amazing magnolia tree in the garden dating back to 1780.

Virtually impossible to find, this restaurant is in the hamlet of Pythos which lurks off a back road in the north of the island.it is in a converted olive press adjoining the home of its proprietors Ben and Claudia Philo, both top class chefs, who met in the kitchen of Antony Worrall Thompson in London after honing their skills in establishments in various parts of the world..their dishes are largely their own creations based on modern Mediterranean style with a Moroccan influence..absolutely delicious..sadly the restaurant is open only in the winter months and then just on Saturday evenings and Sunday midday..this is because their main business is as caterers for villa parties and private events which keeps them fully occupied during the summer...which is fine for those lounging in their villas but not so wonderful for locals not yet aware of the benefits of calling in superb caterers for that special occasion.

This little piece of Italy is hard to find but it is well worth the effort. A restaurant providing super Italian cuisine is owned and operated by Patrizio Tondi, a great character who came to Corfu from Naples 20 years ago and, after running the islands largest nightclub/disco for most of that time, opened Il Vesuvio in the village of Patamos just to the north of Corfu Town effectively as a hobby and because it still gives him pleasure seeing his customers enjoying dishes from his unique Neopolitan wood ovens.

This is a very special luxury hotel positioned near to the Gouvia Marina favoured by a substantial number of sophisticated guests who return every year as they know there is nowhere in Europe which has better facilities for a beach style holiday. It is most fortunate in having Gannis Ginis as manager.....he has the rare knack of being able to inspire his staff to provide the ultimate in caring service. Though we have unique arrangements with the management, it is recommended you give us notice well ahead of your preferred arrival date as the demand for rooms cannot always be satisfied.

One does not expect to find a really good Chinese establishment on a small Greek island but Spiridon Plaskas is not your typical restauranteur. Born and educated in Corfu, he travelled the world and developed a passion for Chinese cuisine. He opened his first Chinese restaurant here 20 years ago and only employs chefs from Shanghai or Hong Kong. His dishes are authentic and extremely tasty and he insists on fresh produce and no additives such as MSG. He still enjoys meeting new customers particularly those from distant parts. As you can see, he is a handsome and charming man.

Recently subject to a major refurbishment leading to a tremendous improvement in comfort and facilities, this cosy hotel is in the village of Kontokali just 250 yards from the croquet lawns. It is owned and run by the family Filippas who are clearly determined to provide a personal service. Hotel Telesilla is open all year round.
