Good to Know
- One street inland from the seafront, prices drop by roughly one-third; two streets inland, prices drop by about half. Waterfront locations (especially Spianada promenade) carry a view premium unrelated to food quality.
- Gyros from busy, high-turnover shops in Corfu Town backstreets (behind Spianada) are notably superior to those elsewhere—locals queue at these spots.
- Traditional Greek 'fasting food' (vegan by default due to Orthodox Christian practices) appears on menus sporadically and is not a reliable vegan source year-round.
- Corfiot cuisine differs from other Greek islands due to 400+ years of Venetian rule; spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are standard, and pasta dishes are common.
- Restaurants with 'traditional' in English-language signage tend to cater to tourists; genuinely traditional tavernas rarely need translation.
- Busier restaurants, especially popular spots, often have queues or require advance booking—reserve when possible.
