Corfu is not just about stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters. It is also an island of rich flavors, culinary traditions, and unique gastronomic experiences that reflect its multicultural heritage. Influenced by Venetian, French, and British cuisine, Corfiot gastronomy offers something far beyond the typical Greek island fare.
For those who seek not just a meal, but an exclusive culinary experience, Corfu is the perfect place to indulge in tailor-made dining, private tastings, and authentic local flavors.
Signature Corfiot Dishes You Must Try
Pastitsada – The Aristocratic Masterpiece
One of Corfu’s most iconic dishes, Pastitsada is a slow-cooked stew of rooster or beef, simmered in a rich tomato and spice sauce, served over thick pasta. The flavors of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg give it an unmistakable aroma, a true reflection of the island’s Venetian influences. For a truly luxurious experience, this dish is best enjoyed at an exclusive private dining setup—whether in a seafront villa, a hidden garden terrace, or onboard a private yacht under the stars.
Bourdeto – The Bold and Spicy Fisherman’s Dish
Bourdeto is a fiery fish dish cooked in a rich red sauce with plenty of paprika and fresh local ingredients. Originally a meal for sailors, it has evolved into a must-try delicacy for those who appreciate bold flavors. The best way to enjoy Bourdeto is in a private seaside taverna, away from the crowds, where the catch of the day is prepared fresh just for you.
Sofrito – The Gentleman’s Dish
A dish that reflects the refined side of Corfiot cuisine, Sofrito is slow-cooked beef, drenched in a delicate white wine, garlic, and parsley sauce. Unlike the heavier meat dishes, this one is elegant and balanced. Pair it with a fine local wine and enjoy it in a private dining setting, where every detail is curated for an elevated experience.

For those who prefer privacy and exclusivity, a private chef experience is the ultimate indulgence. Whether at your villa, on a secluded beach, or aboard a luxury yacht, our private dining services offer a bespoke gastronomic journey, featuring locally sourced ingredients and premium wines.
Luxury Wine & Olive Oil Tasting

A private champagne service on board enhances the moment, while a swim in the warm evening waters adds to the experience. For those who want the ultimate indulgence, a gourmet dining experience can be arranged on board.
