Corfu

It’s always hard to find a good Greek restaurant outside of Greece. However Corfu offers a perfect selection of the Greek specialities which are absolutely delicious thus the service is highly friendly and very welcoming. Better pre-​book a table since it’s very popular and space is limited.

Chicken Soulvaki skewers, which came served with tzatziki sauce and fries — ⁵⁄₅
Moussaka — ⁵⁄₅
Starter — salad — ⁵⁄₅
Dessert — very normal ³⁄₅

Walking (in the rain of course) and saw the sign for the lunch specials. 10 Euros for two courses with wine or soft drinks. Perfect. Only after we were seated did I notice the great reviews. They were correct. Terrific chicken soup with lots of meat. Tasty falafel platter. Good service with a smile. I’d try it for dinner if I were staying for a while.

Fabulous! Food, staff, value, wine… I could go on and on. Don’t pass this place up! You will leave with a full belly and feel like family.

This is a hidden gem. Really nice place, nice atmosphere. We got a very warm welcome. Always. Owners are really carrying and professional people. Food is authentic in a meaning full of feta and other Greek delights. I would recommend CHICKEN SOUVLAKI. They were fresh and nicely cooked.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here during our one night in Dublin. Service was excellent. Food was delicious and authentic. Ambiance of restaurant is also great. Cozy and romantic. The bottle of wine that we ordered was not available so the owner brought us a more expensive bottle but charged us for the price of the less expensive bottle. Overall, great experience.

Sorry but having recently eaten here this place is wanting in many ways: the bread was stale, the waitress didn’t know what the house wine was, the baklava was cold (straight from fridge) and was not fresh oh and the Greek coffee is nothing like true Greek coffee — will not go back…

Stopped in here on a random Thursday night after another lovely (insert eye-​roll) experience at the GNIB. Despite the start to our evening, we were optimistic about Corfu. The place is warm and cozy and the service was excellent.
We decided to each have the three course early bird with the calamari and Greek salads to start, the beef mousaka and kleftiko as the mains, and the tiramisu and galaktobureko to finish. I can’t remember the exact cost of the early bird, but I want to say around € 16 — which is a pretty great deal.
The starters came out quickly and were good but not great. The mains soon followed and similar to the starters, we liked our dishes but wouldn’t come running back. For me, you can’t get much better mousaka than Keshk Café and J’s lamb was nice but there are so many places that serve a tender lamb shank.
The tiramisu was slightly better than the other dishes but was zeroed out with the strange taste of the galaktobureko. The server really talked it up but J didn’t even finish it (which might be a first). Overall this was a really cute place but it’s unlikely that we’ll hurry back.

This was one of the best ethnic meals I’ve had in Dublin in the last 8 weeks of being here. I’ll be back.

I first visited Corfu around 3 or 4 years ago. It had only just opened. The food was great then and it is great now the only difference is that the restaurant has really come into its own. The ambiance has been fine tuned to perfection. The prices are very good value. The staff are exceptional and the quaint feel to the place really impresses. I’m pretty sure that this is the only Greek restaurant in the city centre. I will definitely be back here.

This place was fantastic. We had the 3 course meal for 15 euros and it was more than enough food. The wait staff was incredibly tentative and very helpful. I had the feta cheese appetizer and the salmon entrée. The salmon was incredibly moist and was a very memorable dish. There are many awards hanging outside of the restaurant and they deserve every single one of them!

Excellent early bird menu 3 courses for 15.95. Wonderful menu choices, and very tasty food. I had the mussels to start cooked in a tomato and feta sauce and it was a big bowl of them, over 25 mussels just as a starter. I then had the oven baked salmon on mash potato with came with a few slices of roasted peppers, I could have done with a few more of these and the whole thing was sitting on a lovely lake of tasty Greek olive oil. For dessert I had baklava, which came out in two pieces with a scoop of vanilla ice-​cream and drizzled with honey. Over all this was great value for a three course meal and the staff were so lovely. I would definately go back here again.

If only zeus himself was around to experience the food at this place, i bet he would cry lightning tears of joy.
Corfu had a nice 3 course meal for 15,99 sign outside so why not. We went in sat down, looked around And ordered our food meatballs starter, the most italian greek starter ever and lamb as the main. Meatballs were meh… BUT OH DEAR GOD! As a carnivore you can imagine i love my meat… but…these vegetables cooked with the lamb were… Aaaamaaazziiing, lamb was nice as well. The restaurant was a nice little place makes you think of it as a hidden gem in the dublin restaurant scene.
Great food, great price, great service, just… great only thing missing was gyros i mean cmooon so thats why i cant give it the 5 stars but hey its still awesome

This place is beautiful. Cheap, Cheerful, staff were unbelievably pleasant and helpful, food was delicious, I will defo be here again, and again, I was very pleased… not a huge variety on the menu but other than that it was fantastic ! they do a ten euro lunch deal for a starter, main and a glass of wine !

Super friendly staff and very enjoyable meal. Went here for a quick bite. Fresh and simple and exquisite like all Greek food should be. Lovely welcome and relaxing atmosphere. Great value. Just wish we had some nice Greek sunshine to compliment our meal and it would have been heaven

I went with family to this place on a Friday night; great atmosphere/​service/​food. 3 course meal per head plus wine, about 120 euros. I had yogurt based dips, bread, baklava, veggie moussaka and calamari. great buzz and full house. Awesome location. In the end, complimentary shots of baileys for all of us

Corfu? I think not.
Maybe my expectations of this greek restaurant was the a bit high but still.
Nothing special. Had the lunch special, lamb burger with salad and fries. Nothing you’ve never tasted before in all honesty. For starters I had the feta cheese parcels which was good but come on, it’s feta cheese — how can it not taste delish?
Boring décor all in all.
I will give thumbs up for incredibly cute waiter though. He was very charming, nice and talkative. The two stars go directly to him.

GET ME TO THE GREEK, well get me back to Corfu Greek Restaurant…
Me and the girlfriend, decided on a date night, and since I work in town, I popped into Corfu and I liked the place, plus the staff were friendly.
Met the Girlfriend after and told her about Greek food and she was all for it, mainly for the Baklavas (because her sister had made them)
so the table was booked…
Arriving late as usual good oul me… I even leave where ever I am earlier and give myself that extra 20mins but nope late… The place was busy but relaxed.
Walked in was greeted by the Manager, and shown to our seats. And given our menus… from this point on the Ambience of the place hits you. I loved it… I was transported to a Mediterranean homely place. The dark old wooden floor with the breaks in it, and the white walls with authentic Greek things (I’m going to say things as it’s a cross between paintings and ceramics, and vines), oh and some of the walls were brought back to the brick — I love this style.
SO yeah we spent a good few minutes admiring what the place was like.
The wine ordering…
So she like white, I am definitely a red fan & it wasn’t a kind of date to have a beer, I don’t know why I easily could have. So we settle for a Pinot Grigio Rose — It was really good, I’m not a fan of Rosé but it was goooooooOOOOOOooood.
SO for starter I have chicken and rice soup with bread on the side it was yum however a little too hot, I burnt my tongue… it was all weird feeling-​y for the next few days… I was warned though so I can say anything but my own stupidity.
My friend had bruschetta… I should have had that; it was 5 stars in itself.
Then the chats were had… it seems like I am writing a TV show with the play by play but meh…
I had stifido or something along those lines… basically slow cooked meat with some sauce and rice… the meat was so tender my fork broke it. EPIC MEAL
Av’s went vegetarian… it read in the menu stuffed Tomato and Pepper but all she received was two tomatoes so she wasn’t really happy with it, she ain tomatoes biggest fan unless chopped form I’m the same actually, I just can’t do tomato its odd when by itself. Anyway the stuffing inside it was yum… I even dug into it.
Now though the reason why we came BAKLAVAS (no syllable-​pronounced all as one, and there I was saying bak-lavas…but the staff were chatting with us about this and all.)
So Av’s and I both had Baklavas… wait did we? Ok there was a lot of wine in me by now so I can’t really remember… wait yes we did, then after we were talking with the manager and he brought us up one of his favourite dishes, like a spongy cake pudding thing — the name is gone from my head.
Anyway interesting texture of it, Av’s liked it enough to try it but wouldn’t get it again, I liked it but come on BAKLAVAS…
We had a great date night and were meant to only be there for a while and head over to see The Drums in Whelan’s… yeah that didn’t happen. We really enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn’t care about missing the gig… That says something right?
Anyway yeah we will be definitely going back maybe for a pre theatre meal soon…

Was brought here recently by a friend who is Greek, eager to share a taste of her culture. Clearly she frequented the place alot, as she never stopped talking about it while we were inside. The interior was pleasant enough: the walls were of the typical white wash and stone variety seen in Greek postcards, with plenty of pictures on the walls detailing ancient Athenian temples and sunny coastlines, etc.
She insisted we try the Greek salad, –leaves, onions, cherry tomatoes, olives and feta cheese– which in Greek fashion was to be left on the table and nibbled on throughout the meal. The other two members of our party had the meatballs and little spinnach parcels to start, which were both very tasty, but lacking in presentation.
For main I had the Chicken Soulvaki skewers, which came served with tzatziki sauce. Not being a fan of cucumbers, I thought it tasted wretched and asked for peppercorn sauce instead. Curiously, it took 10 minutes for this replacement sauce to arrive. I occupied myself in the meantime by tasting some of the Moussaka my friends had ordered. It was actually delicious, but extremely heavy, like a shepherd’s pie with lamb and cinnamon. Eventually the waiter remembered my sauce and I got to eating the chicken, which was cooked well, but nothing special.
Our host ordered an assortment of desserts on a plate for us all to try. The star of the show was the Baklava –a little pastry square with an almond filling. Also on the plate was a tiramsu and orange zest cake, as well as a very heavy flan made from milk, which none of us could finish.
Service throughout was friendly, but way too relaxed, we had to gesture for everything. To sum it up it was enjoyable, and though I’m not itching to go back, if someone else wanted to try it I wouldn’t say no.

I ate here again yesterday evening and I have to say it was rather disappointing.
The starter was feta cheese parcels which were very tasty but the presentation was lacking, a smattering of iceberg lettuce and a tomato cut in half.
For main I got the other version of spaghetti which had the meat in it and it was good, nothing amazing but good. My dining partner’s dish looked burnt to me but she insisted it was fine yet she was convinced it was precooked and reheated.
We were given an extra glass of wine on the house which was nice and the service remains very friendly.
I know € 9.95 is great value but if it’s too costly to maintain maybe make the menu smaller again and work on the presentation more.
