Taverna Galini

Corfu


Shaded by vines by day, lit by hurricane lamps by night, this olive-and-cream gem spreads across a partly al fresco seafront terrace. Enjoy stifadho (meat, game or seafood cooked with onions in a tomato puree), kleftiko (slowly oven-baked lamb or goat), souvlaki or fresh local fish.

Unusually, it also has a long and diverse children's menu.

It's located in the northeastern-coast Agios Stefanos (there's another Agios Stefanos on the island's northwestern coast).
