The largest of the Greek islands, Corfu has a long history of occupations, most famously by the Venetian Empire, so the cuisine here is varied and unique, with distinct Italian influences.
Most restaurants will feature traditional Corfian dishes such as sofrito – a rich, slow cooked beef dish bursting with garlic and herbs, as well as lots of fresh fish, simply grilled meats and family favourites like pizza. The Greek culture places a huge emphasis on family mealtimes, so you’ll find lots of family friendly restaurants in Corfu where your kids will be welcomed with open arms.
