Amazing! From the moment we arrived the staff were very attentive. They asked us about any food allergies or food issues we might have, and the meal was adapted to incorporate any dislikes we had. The food was absolutely fabulous. We went for the tasting...menu and each dish was an infusion of flavours. The restaurant is situated in a quite square away from the hassle and bussle and is very relaxing. I'd definitely recommend The Venian Wall. They also have an extensive wine list for everyone's taste.More

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing wine. Beautiful place to eat. It was such a pleasant surprise. You go through little allays and then you find this beautiful garden in a square.

What a beautiful venue! Staff super welcoming but service lacks some basic sequence of service as at times it was hit and miss. Food: best cod I ever had in my life, cooked to perfection . Sommelier, an asset and he knows what he’s doing....Owner very charming. I gave 3 stars as the service can be a let down but food was good.More

We came to the Venetian Well on recommendation from our hotel and after a week of Greek (mostly good) Taverna food, this restaurant was a triumph. A little off the centre of Corfu town but everyone is friendly and will direct you, as it’s quite...hard to find. We were met by the greeter as if we were the most important guests to have arrived that evening and shown to our table. You can eat either outside or in and we chose inside. We were immediately attended to, ordered drinks and had the most delicious, freshly baked sourdough delivered, with butter and fish roe as accompaniments. The food and the service is of Michelin starred quality coming complete with an amuse bouche and a pre dessert. All the food was stunningly beautiful to look at and was exquisitely delicious. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and they truly deserve a Michelin Star of their own but at the moment you get that quality food but for normal prices. Fantastic!!!More

We’ve been here for the set up menu with wine pairing and it was amazing. We loved the food, the wine, the waiter, the sommelier and the whole ambiance. We would really recommend this restaurant if you like fine dining! If we ever come back...to Corfu we will definitely come again! Hopefully with a Michelin star in the future! Thank you for this nightMore

This is easily the best restaurant I have ever been to. I consider myself a serious foodie and I’ve been to many nice restaurants in my time, but this takes the pick as my favourite. In fact it was so good the first time I...went me and my girlfriend flew over from England just to try The Fregola and Rossini again. Not only is the food the best I have eaten but service easily matches any Michelin star restaurant I have been to, including Gordon Ramsey’s 3 Michelin star restaurant in London. Massive thanks to the staff for welcoming us back (especially Irene!), they were all so lovely as always. To anyone reading this review, please do not hesitate to come here, it will be the best night of your corfu trip without question!More

I cannot find the words to say how amazing this place is!!! We visited in June and again today in September. The food is incredible and the service is beyond exceptional. We have told all our friends in the UK how wonderful it is and...it was partly the reason why we decided to come back to Corfu. I was going to order the same wine as last time, but a slightly different one was recommended - they remembered what we liked from 4 MONTHS ago! And it was incredible. 4 members of staff remembered us which really added to our experience; which brings me onto Irene. She served us in June and again tonight and truly made our dining experience. She is a delightful girl and chatted to us about our stay here and more. She was the perfect end to our evening and is a true asset to the Venetian Well. We will most certainly be back as soon as possible (for the Fregola, the Rossini and of course, Irene!) thank you to all of the team at the Venetian Well for the most spectacular evening… if anyone has got to the end of my long review, all I can say is RUN THERE! Lots of love xxxxMore

Simply incredible. Beautiful food, fabulous setting. Such a special place for a romantic evening. We were recommended to go here by another bar and they were spot on. If you like fine dining this is the place to go. Alex has a fabulous cellar. The...waitresses were wonderful. Definitely coming back.More

We visited on my husband’s birthday . Apparently there is a two hour time slot for each table, so don’t expect a relaxing evening, you’ll be constantly checking your watch; they can’t seem to get rid of you soon enough. The host desperately tried (...and failed) to act welcoming, it was almost laughable how fake she sounded. The waitresses were super awkward and kept repeating their drill of how we have to choose the dishes from their set menu. The only exception was a sommelier: he was genuinely friendly and professional. Food was ok, nothing special. Finally one tiny detail which made us certain that we won’t return: they were aware that it was my husband’s birthday and didn’t offer anything not even a little drink or small piece of cake.More

All the positive things said below match our own experience. Would add that sommelier recommended an excellent Greek wine well within the medium price range I stipulated. Will definitely return.

the restaurant has a very bad receptionist, due to their dislike. a restaurant with this supposed level, should have as its principle "the good service". however it needs to learn to satisfy the customer, not only with the dishes it presents but also in the...service. I don't recommend it at all!More

A fine dining twist on traditional Greek cuisine. Beautiful setting in a lovely square just off the main touristic streets. Great service and food quality. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is in a courtyard amidst lots of houses - you will need to park on the coast road and or Old Port and walk up - it’s not far but there are steps and it can be tricky to find! But certainly worth it!
