Venetian Well

We’ve been coming to The Venetian Well every year — it’s always been one of our favorite spots in Corfu for the atmosphere, the beautiful square, and what used to be an elegant, gourmet dining experience. Sadly, this time was very different. We made our reservation a week in advance and were asked to prepay €80, which we found unusual, but we trusted the experience would be worth it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The staff were very kind, but the service was extremely slow. There was a fixed Easter menu, and no one asked about our dietary preferences. Out of five courses, two included mageiritsa (Greek Easter soup made from lamb intestines) — something neither of us can eat or enjoy. In the end, it was our dog who helped finish the plate. We paid €85 per person for a set menu where we genuinely disliked almost half the dishes. To top it off, the card machine wasn’t working, and we had to pay in cash, which caused further delay. It breaks my heart to say this, but something has changed here. What used to be a refined, special dining spot now feels like a forced set-menu place with none of the finesse we loved. After many visits over the years, this was, unfortunately, our last.

Beautiful location, amazing service and food. Dishes are delicious. Very big wine menu.

We had a fantastic dining experience, what a gem in Corfu town!! Fine dining at its best, highly recommended. The food, the presentation of it and staff were exceptional. We will definitely be back ! 👍

Absolutely incredible dining experience. First off, though, the Google maps navigation will send you to the wrong place. Find the restaurant on the map and turn off navigation once you get close. Now, on to the dining experience. WOW is all I can say. From start to finish, everything was delicious. My friend and I tried the Komisa menu and each dish was excellent. I cannot wait to return.

The dinner was exceptional as well as the service. 70 euros for an 8 course tasting menu was all worth it. Best restaurant on our trip. The staff was professional but warm and friendly. We didn’t book in advance and got a table easily at 19:00. The taste, colours, and texture of the food were all perfect. Even the order of the dishes really show the chef knows what he/she is doing. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing would recommend for a date night or people are love food.
