Any holiday resort in Corfu must provide some kind of night entertainment. There are places that never stop to beat with the rhythm of the night. Yet there are also places where music is not so important. Places where people go to really set their minds at ease. Such more peaceful resorts usually boast a whole range of different restaurants that offer dishes either typically Greek, either, quite adversely, from all around the world: there are dishes from Mexican, Chinese, Arabic or Italian cuisine. Each and every visitor will find something that will specifically suit his personal taste.

Corfu cuisine is a true mixture of tastes that reflects all the entanglements of its rough history. Each invader left a mark in the tastes that can be found there: Arabs, Vebetians, Turks, the British. Probably most popular in the Corfian restaurants is lamb, that can be prepared in nearly uncountable ways. Yet it is always well-seasoned with herbs such as : oregano, rosemary, basil, parsley and many more. It is not therefore spicy but just tastes in a way that cannot be met in any other part of the world. Apart from herbs, meat may be marinated, baked, grilled. Nowadays there is a tendency to prepare the meal in a way that best suits particular visitors. That is why so many European dishes are served.
