Venetian Well

Tucked away from all the chaos of old Corfu town, this beautiful restaurant is a breath of fresh air! The scenery is picturesque and the food is next level! Local ingredients take on a modern twist while the service is old school fine dining at its finest. The tasting menu was amazing! The watermelon crab dish was one of my favorite dishes in Greece!

Excellent experience totally worth the money. We had full tasting menu with the wine pairing. It was not just a food or dinner, but a journey through Greek wines, regions and flavors. We were super impressed by how thoughtfully each wine was selected for the food and how gracefully it actually complimented the dish. Restaurant team was well coordinated and worked like a clock. If I could give them some award, I would right now for both creative cuisine and especially wine pairing in particular. So so so worth it. Would love to come back later.

We had an amazing experience celebrating our three-year anniversary at the restaurant and enjoyed every moment. We chose the tasting menu, which included eight courses each—two starters, three first courses, a main course, a pre-dessert, and a dessert. The dishes were incredibly unique in their flavors and ingredient combinations, though not necessarily the most delicious I’ve ever had. A special highlight was the crab dish, to which we added caviar—it was outstanding! Very unique, with unusual flavor pairings that created an explosion of taste. The dessert was also exceptional, both in presentation and in its flavors and textures. I highly recommend this restaurant! It’s a special experience, well worth enjoying on a meaningful occasion.

The location is absolutely beautiful and romantic – a perfect setting for a special evening. The reservation system can feel a bit demanding, with strict time slots and a required deposit, but given the size of the restaurant and the peak tourist season, it is understandable. The restaurant itself is charming and very pleasant. We opted for the tasting menu, which was excellent – the food was creative, well-prepared, and definitely worth trying. There is a lot of staff, but somehow the energy and atmosphere they aim for with a fine dining concept doesn’t fully come through. It feels like something small is missing to really elevate the experience to the next level. Overall, the food is great and the setting is wonderful. Despite the small drawbacks, Venetian Well is definitely worth visiting if you are in Corfu.

Easily the best restaurant in Corfu. The tasting menu is a must, every course was beautifully balanced and flowed perfectly, making it feel like a real dining experience rather than just a meal. For the wine, do as the Romans do and go Greek. The sommelier recommended a crisp white from Santorini that paired amazingly with the menu and really elevated the food. I have a shellfish allergy and one of the dishes included blue crab, but the staff didn’t miss a beat. Our fantastic waiter immediately offered me a swap from the à la carte menu, and it felt seamless and thoughtful. The pacing was spot on too. Our table was reserved for two hours but we happily stayed for about two and a half (with a digestive to finish) and never once felt rushed or left waiting. If you’re coming here, order the tasting menu. The few negative reviews seem to be from people ordering à la carte, but honestly, you don’t visit a place like this to order three starters: you come for the full journey. And it’s 100% worth it.
