Food Lovers Tips for Corfu?

[ssherie_]

Hey everyone! I’m heading to Corfu soon and would love some recommendations from fellow food lovers. I’m especially interested in authentic local dishes, must-visit tavernas, and any hidden gems where I can enjoy traditional Corfiot cuisine.

What are the absolute must-try foods on the island? I’ve heard about pastitsada and sofrito—any favorite spots to try them? Also, are there any small, family-run tavernas that serve amazing home-cooked meals?

I’d also love suggestions for the best seafood restaurants, bakeries, and markets for fresh local ingredients. Bonus points for places with great views or a cozy atmosphere!

Lastly, any unique food experiences—like olive oil or wine tastings, cooking classes, or farm-to-table dining—would be amazing to check out.

Looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks in advance.

You're in for a treat—Corfu is a food lover’s dream! For pastitsada, head to To Fanari in Paleokastritsa—beautiful views and rich, authentic flavors. Elisabeth’s Taverna in Doukades is a hidden gem for sofrito and traditional Corfiot fare; it’s family-run and feels like dining in someone’s home.

Seafood lovers should check out Taverna Agni in Agni Bay—fresh catch, seafront dining, and a romantic vibe. For bakeries, Starenio in Corfu Town is a must for local pastries. If you’re into markets, the Corfu Town public market is a great spot for fresh produce, herbs, and local cheeses.

Don’t miss the Governor’s Olive Mill for an olive oil tasting—it’s award-winning and very educational. There are also some amazing wine tastings and farm-to-table experiences at Ambelonas Corfu, which also offers cooking classes.
