Cavo Barbaro

Corfu


With widescreen views of the beach, and sea breezes wafting through the garden, this pretty and very spacious restaurant makes a charming spot for a leisurely meal of octopus, calamari, saganaki (fried cheese), mousakas (baked layers of eggplant or zucchini, minced meat and potatoes topped with cheese sauce) or swordfish.
