Rex Restaurant

Name: Rex Restaurant
Price range: €€€

Rex has occupied Kapodistriou Street since 1932, with Corfiot paintings inside and pavement tables close to the Liston foot traffic. The menu keeps sofrito, pastitsada and bourdeto beside newer dishes such as a baked potato filled with moussaka.

Our take

Pastitsada by the Liston

Portions run large, while the central address and polished room push prices above a neighborhood taverna. Ask for an outside table when reserving and send back food that arrives lukewarm; 2026 reviews praise the pork skewer and desserts but repeatedly question table allocation, temperature and attention during busy service.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Rex 4.1 from more than 1,350 reviews; 2026 feedback praises regional dishes and portions but flags lukewarm plates, uneven seating decisions and slow drink service.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.

Restaurant

Anthos Restaurant

Anthos sets a short row of tables along Maniarizi Arlioti, a lane where neighboring dining rooms sit almost shoulder to shoulder. The family-run kitchen draws couples toward sea-bass ceviche, grouper, shellfish pasta and risotto rather than a checklist of Corfiot standards.

Restaurant

Fishalida

Fishalida shares ownership with the fish shop next door on Lochagou Vlaikou, so trays of sardines, prawns and whole fish shape the order more than decorative plating. Tables fill a practical room where local lunch traffic mixes with visitors comparing the day's catch.

Restaurant

Rouvas

Rouvas looks like a plain neighborhood dining room near the market: paper cloths, close tables and a counter lined with metal trays. Office workers and shoppers point at what remains in the pots, then eat without waiting for an Old Town performance.
