Mezes is the way to start a meal in Corfu, meaning that you get a lot of appetizers to surprise your palate in the most outstanding manner.

Bakalogatos

Everything in this brand-new wine and raki eating house reminds us of its favourite Greek film, while K. Chatzichristos has the leading role, not only in the black and white posters on the walls where he appears, but also in the movie which is screened during the whole day! Old pictures, retro objects, as well as the grocer’s shop dressed with classic style, like we used to know it back in the day, form the imaginative setting that arouses forgotten images of the past. The emphasis, though, apart from the decoration, is given to the food. Creative appetizers all made in here, come to overflow a table with a scent of… Greece.
