Restaurant Recommendations

Hi
Not long until we go now .  We are staying in Kalami as usual, and for the first time have hired a car so that we can see something of the island.  We love to eat well whilst on holiday, one of our favourites being Agni Taverna where we tend to eat regularly.  So, having the car, has anyone any recommendations?  It would be really helpful to know what you like about the places you recommend and also where to find them!!

Many thanks.

Actually there is an English couple living just along the road from Porta who walk down to swim at Kouloura or Kalami most days....and up again!

If you fancy venturing south try Klimataria in Benitses but ring to book a table as it is small- only evenings and Sunday lunch (2661071201)

Thank you all.
Canarydave - to get to Porto do you turn right onto the main road out of Kalami and then take a left when you find one?
Janmanessi - is this it?  If so, looks lovely  klimataria-restaurant.gr/en_index.htm
Janet - thanks, hopefully someone will know the name

Think Janet meant Ninos- excellent food.  Easiest directions, leave Liston behind you and walk along Boulgareos Street- you can see the National Bank in the distance.  Take the first right and then the second right and Ninos is the first shop on the right hand side of the lane

Yes, you have found the link to Klimataria

We will be driving!!  Thanks.

If i was to recommend only one then it would have to be Rouvas in Corfu town its just round the corner from M&S on the road to the market. They only used to open for lunch, but everything is freshly prepared that day and they cater mainly for local workers. Therefore it is authentic and you will eat rustic dishes you will see in no tourist tavernas. They are very friendly and will show you all the dishes they have available, and their home baked bread is the best. Beware though once the dish is gone its gone. Nothing is re-heated or cooked from frozen, they sell out fast, so get there early. We have been there 3 or 4 times and always order a selection of dishes. Weve had rabbit, a really spicy dogfish stew, pasta dishes, beautiful green beans cooked with tomatoes and garlic. I believe it was one of the places that Rick Stein visited.

From Kalami, it's not too far to drive up to Agios Stephanos (NE), off to the right before you reach Kassiopi.  It's a lovely little village with five tavernas round the little bay - Eucalyptus, Kaparelli, Gallini, To Fagopotion and Cochilli.  From various posts on these message boards, everyone has their favourites, so it may be a little presumptuous to suggest which are ours.  But, there's plenty of choice, so it's worth two minutes' walk round the bay to decide what you fancy.  They're all good Corfu fare and in a great position.  In fact, a lot of people have also recommended the Tavernaki, which is small, just off the main road at Sinies as you turn towards Agios Stephanos (see posts on the Agios Stephanos NE message boards).

Dionysoss in Barbati has to be worth a try they do warm pitta breads instead of or as well as bread which start the meal off very well. Found the White House in Kalami to be good every time we visit. Ninos in town is also good. It is more  a place the locals go to very small but worth a visit.

I think it is called Elani's the one in Nissaki. We once had a Greek Hors Deuve for 6 there, it was close to end of season and he didnt really have a menu he just told us what was available, it was just fantastic. (There were 6 of us we weren't just greedy!)
