Starters - 'Prota'
One of the best
ways to enjoy Greek food is to just order a variety of starters 'mezzedakia'
and slowly eat your way round them with a cool glass of local wine.
We have over
30 starters on our menu but here are some of the classics!
Tzatziki
(yogurt and garlic dip),
Taramosalata
(cod roe dip) Keftedes
(small walnut sized morsels made with meat), Tiropitakia (feta cheese
pies), Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves),
Kolokethokeftedes (courgette fritters) Papoutsakia
(stuffed aubergine), Hummus (spiced chickpea dip),
Garides Saganaki (prawns in a tomato
& feta cheese sauce) Kalamarakia (deep fried calamari).
There is of course the famous
Greek salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, feta cheese,
drowned in olive oil and sprinkled with oregano) delicious eaten with
freshly baked bread. |

Greek Dishes - 'Ellinika
Piata'
Moussaka
is probably the best- known Greek dish. Aubergines, minced meat cooked in
herbs and spices covered in béchamel. Best served with a crisp salad and
crusty bread – not to be missed !
Other
traditional Greek dishes which are unique in their own ways are
Kleftiko (Leg of
Lamb cooked in oregano), Corfiot specialities Pastitsada (beef cooked in a red sauce and
served with pasta), Sofrito (speciality of Corfu, beef cooked in
garlic and wine) and Pastitsio (macaroni baked in the oven).
Accompanying
most Greek meals are lots of freshly cut salads and vegetables. In
addition to the famous Greek salad, salads of wild vegetables (horta),
carrot & cabbage and a favourite amongst many Greeks Chefs
salad which combines ham, cheese, egg, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and
lots of mayonnaise dressing! |

Grilled Dishes -
'Psita'
Traditionally
when Greeks go out to eat they love to order lots of dishes and lots of
grilled meat! It doesn't matter if it isn't all eaten, it's just good
to have all the things that they don't necessarily eat everyday at home.
Hence grilled food is very popular and generally ordered by the kilo.
Paidakia
(lamb chops), Hirine Brizola (pork chops), Moscarisio Filleto
(fillet steak), Beeftekia (beefburgers), Loukaniko Horiatiko
(village sausages) Kotopoulo Filleto (chicken breast) Kotopoulo
Souvlas (grilled chicken on the spit).

Fish & Seafood
-
'Psari'
Fresh fish and
seafood are abundantly available on the island and a favourite amongst
Greeks and Italians.

simply grilled on the barbeque with a lemon, olive oil and oregano marinade
or pan fried. Common fishes served are: Tsipoura, Sinagrida
(snapper), Barbouni (red mullet), Solomo (Salmon),
Gavros (whitebait), Sardela (Sardines).
Seafood such as
Garides (Shrimps), Megales Garides (King Prawns),

are cooked in a variety of ways, grilled, pan fried, stuffed combined in
sauces to make
saganaki or pasta dishes or served simply in salads.

Vegetarian - 'Hortofagon'
Although not
commonly found in restaurants and Tavernas around Corfu, vegetarian dishes
are a staple part of the Greek family's diet. Especially in the
village areas many families will have their own plots of land on which they
grow their vegetables and even raise their own livestock!
Although not
strictly vegetarians ourselves, we are very passionate about healthy and
'good for you' food! So as a consequence we make sure that we offer a
good range of seasonally available vegetarian dishes; many of which come
from our own vegetable gardens. Favourites include Fasolakia
(green beans), Tsigarelli (wild vegetables in a spicy sauce),
Horta (wild vegetables), Briam (mixed roasted vegetables),
Papoutsakia (stuffed aubergine). Plus we also cook
Revithia
(chickpea soup), Fakies (lentil soup), Fasolada (bean soup)
and of course vegetarian pasta dishes

Children's -
'Pedion'
We also know that
children can be very fussy eaters, so we have a separate menu that gives
kids exactly what THEY want! no fuss, not too many green bits and of course
smaller portions and cheaper prices than the adult menu.
No surprises that
they can choose between Pizzas, Pastas, smaller Grilled
and Traditional Greek portions and of course kids ice creams with
lots of sparklers!!
If you have
special requests then just let us know.

Desserts -
'Glyca'
One of the
benefits of having an English wife who also happens to be a great cook are
the many mouth-watering desserts she produces! - both Greek and European.
Starting as a
hobby and with lessons from Vassiliki, Teresa now bakes all of our desserts
ranging from the traditional Greek delicacies of Baclava and
Galactoburiko to Apple Crumble, Carrot Cake, her famous
Lemon Cheesecake, Chocolate Brownies plus lots more!
As well as
home-made specials we have over 10 different varieties of Corfiot
ice-creams, all kinds of coffees and teas plus liqueur coffees.
