The White House restaurant is defined by salt, sea and good food, as much as it is by history, heart warming hospitality and the island of Corfu. Imagine yourself bathing in the sunlight, listening to the waves’ calm melody whilst you awaken your sense of taste with our fresh seafood delicacies and local white wine. The White House Restaurant quite literally sits on the water’s edge overlooking Kalami Bay on the north east coast of Corfu. It is the lower ground level of the world famous White House, the Corfu residence of author, Lawrence Durrell. “We are committed to providing fine dining, we maintain an extensive wine cellar and offer the highest quality service”.
Our philosophy is all about using fresh local produce of the finest quality. This means that our menu is adjusted seasonally. Many of our dishes are based on traditional Corfiot recipes, handed down by the previous generations. Many of The White House dishes were particular favourites of the Durrells, thereby preserving our link with the rich history of the area.“Fish, caught daily from our own boat, seasonal vegetables and locally reared organic meat and poultry form the basis of all our dishes. To these we add expertise and love.”

3 months agoI had the pleasure of dining at The White House Restaurant in Corfu, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The setting is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the sea and lush surroundings that create the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making us feel right at home. Every dish was expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into each dish and every detail of the dining experience. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch or a romantic dinner, The White House offers an exceptional dining experience that’s hard to beat. I can't wait to return next time I'm in Corfu! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch meal in a truly special location. 5 stars all the way!

5 months agoFortunate to arrive by boat which set the tone for a great afternoon, great ambience, superb service and food. Costos who served us was splendidly charming and knowledgeable of the wine and food. Not only was the food packed with great flavours but beautifully presented. Totally recommend this restaurant in enviable location perched next to the sea

6 months agoThe White House is a stunning location situated in a beautiful bay on the east of Corfu island with Albania in sight. We hired a boat for the day and travelled up the coastline, pulling in to a deserted little cove to swim and relax in the boat. We had dinner at the White House on our return, and the food, service, and atmosphere were superb. It is in a higher price range, but well worth it if you are looking for a little indulgence.

7 months agoThis place is so beautiful. The restaurant is very fancy with impeccable service and beautifully plated food. They don't constantly ask you how your meal is/do you need anything, too. We had a crab & avocado appetizer. I had fish of the day in cuttlefish blood sauce and it was delicious. I ordered the Aegean G&T in honor of Louisa. The chef went around and greeted the tables. FYI it's expensive.

5 months agoWe wanted to go as the story of the Durrell's goes back to school reading of Gerald Durrell's" my family and other animals" in the 70s. Long before the tv show. The view is amazing. Other than that, it left us flat. The toilet was not clean. The menu is pretentious, including strawberry soup?. Other dishes are not available like lamb. Quoted as end of season. We can get that anywhere else. Soup came without bread ? Prawns in Risotto burnt. Very expensive and left hungry. It could not have been the day for it as we drove a long way there and back. When we paid, we made it clear about things we're not what we could get at simple tavern elsewhere. I know we travel and learn what is what. Hopefully, another day you can find it ok. They have free starlink WiFi which is very fast
