5Corfu: A Taste of Venetian Elegance
Corfu, an Ionian gem, boasts a cuisine influenced by Venetian and British colonial periods. The island’s cuisine features a wide range of dishes, including pastitsada (pasta with meat sauce), bourdeto (spicy fish stew), and sofrito (beef in garlic sauce). Olive oil, citrus fruits, and herbs play a prominent role in Corfiot dishes.
For a true Corfiot experience, visit the Liston in Corfu Town, an elegant esplanade filled with cafes and restaurants, where you can enjoy kumquat liqueur and local sweets like mandolato and pasteli.
