Best Restaurant in Greece

R	Richard Phillips on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ BRAVO. We had experienced some good family style Greek food in Corfu but wanted a fine dining experience. Venetian Well did not disappoint. The winemaker with us found the wine selection excellent and the sommelier extremely knowledgeable and offered outstanding recommendations that matched the food. We ordered 8 plates to share and each was well composed with excellent flavors. The veal tartar was a wonderful surprise, the pasta from Sardinia with truffles was heaven and they did not skimp on the truffle. The octopus was thinly sliced and cooked perfectly. The Corfu pastitsada was a nice change as it used lasagna noodles and chicken. The veal with foil gras sauce and sweetbreads and lamp were all memorable and the scorpion fish with shrimp stuffed zucchini blossom was something special. We will also always remember the sour dough bread and the fish roe mousse which was to die for. Overall, the price for all 6 guests was less than what we have paid for 1 at a Michelin * restaurant. We will definitely be coming back here the next time we sail out of Corfu. And yes, even with your phone map, it is a challenge to find in the labyrinth of old Corfu Town.
I	Ingrid Wilcox on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The wait staff was extremely kind to me and very attentive even though I was dining alone.
O	Olga B. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food was good, but nothing overly special. Yes the ingredients are fancy but the taste does not hold up to the price tag. 75€ for the tasting menu… the menu lacks a regular 3 course option. The atmosphere was amazing though and the staff is very attentive.
V	Veronika Kotenko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Perfect atmosphere, very intelligent and kind waiters. I would advise you to try the degustation menu out. This is a pure perfection combined with incredible dishes and very good wine combinations . The service was the best that I could wish for. And most importantly try their tartar, delicious ???
O	Olga G. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The setting of the restaurant was beautiful and the food was well made however I thought it was a bit pricey for what it offered. The worst part was the booking experience . The person who picked up the phone wouldn’t tell me what were the time slots that were available and instead I had to ask for each day separately until we found availability . I thought that was bizarre and definitely not very professional.
C	Chloe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My partner and I were desperate to visit the Venetian Well while we were in Corfu for the day. Luckily the staff managed to fit us in despite us not having a reservation. Food was beautiful, great flavours and amazing variety. Complementary starter and desert which was a great touch and staff extremely friendly.
I	Irena Gueorguieva on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible experience which exceeded all my expectations! From the very first moment the hostess Λαμπροθέα made me feel at home, then a flock of extremely kind and helpful waiters and waitresses took very good care of me. The food was excellent, started with nice Gaspatcho- balanced taste and very pleasant sweetness, in the first sip the Greek herbs and olive oil unfolded their character and exploded in my mouth. Then an appetizer - tarama mousse and home made bread with προζύμι, served in its own iron pot, still warm from the oven, steaming and fragrant. The main dish was a veal tartar, beautifully prepared egg yolk, the best choice of a plate to be served and of course very well balanced taste with the notes of acidity and umami in the aftertaste. The sommelier kindly suggested the local rose wine from Τύρναβος to accompany the food. Finally the choice of dessert was the most complicated one(I could pick from pineapple with coconut cream, chocolate and pear mousse, merengue with yogurt and red fruits)but the semolina χαλβάς was irresistible and was served with cumcuat preserve and chocolate mousse and incredible lemon sorbet which gave the fresh finish of the dessert. Limoncello came very well along to finish the dinner. There was a complementary treat as well, mocha mousse with chocolate crumble, also a feast for the palate...Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ! Υπέροχα!
J	Jonathan Emmott on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worthy of a Michelin star! The food was outstanding. The Fish starter that l had was so delicate, the sauce sublime and beautiful to the eye. The sommelier’s pairing of the wine to our taste and choice of food was perfect. The desserts were a work of art - light and flavours so expertly balanced. The staff were attentive, friendly and unobtrusive. Well done everyone. Pollá efcharistó.
