Etrusco — Restaurant in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

A Culinary Masterpiece in Greece – An Unforgettable Dining Experience**

My recent visit to Etrusco in Corfu was nothing short of spectacular. This restaurant is, without a doubt, one of the finest in Greece, delivering a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed into an atmosphere that blends elegance with creativity, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey.

The menu at Etrusco, especially the renowned Akron menu, is a true celebration of gastronomy. Each dish is meticulously crafted by Chef Ettore Botrini, showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend flavors and textures in ways that surprise and delight the palate. The Akron menu is a multi-course experience that guides you through a series of inventive dishes, each one more exquisite than the last. Highlights include the "Ionian Sea," a dish that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Corfu with its fresh seafood and innovative presentation, and the ""inferno a dessert that offers a delicate balance of sweetness and citrus.

The wine selection at Etrusco is equally impressive, with a carefully curated list that perfectly complements the rich and diverse flavors of the menu. The knowledgeable staff enhance the experience further, offering expert pairings and attentive service throughout the meal.

Etrusco is not just a restaurant; it's an extraordinary experience that every food lover should have on their list. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the art of fine dining, Etrusco promises an evening of pure culinary delight.

For anyone traveling to Corfu or even within Greece, this is a must-visit destination that truly exemplifies the best of what Greek cuisine...

Etrusco isn’t just “a restaurant in Corfu,” it’s the culinary crown of Greece—an intoxicating blend of technique, heart, and island soul that redefines Mediterranean fine dining.

Etrusco reimagines what fine dining in Corfu (or anywhere) can be. This is cuisine that speaks boldly yet sincerely: playful when needed, profound when desired.

Service here isn’t overbearing; it’s finely tuned, anticipating moments and creating a rhythm that enhances rather than interrupts. What some call “rushed,” I experienced as beautifully timed, each dish presented at its moment of peak flavour, without wasting a heartbeat.

This isn’t about awards, but with eleven straight years as Greece’s best restaurant, multiple Golden Chef’s Caps, and four FNL stars, Etrusco’s acclaim is rooted in something real: consistent brilliance.

The food itself? Inventive without drifting into gimmick. You’ll find elegant dishes grounded in heritage, like their cod belly bourdeto or blue lobster with honeyed figs that possess both technical mastery and emotional resonance.

The setting feels elevated—courtyard charm under mulberry trees that exudes refinement without falling into cold opulence. From amuse-bouches that feel like art to a wine list that’s both remarkable and respectful of local varietals, the details all converge beautifully.

Etrusco refuses to play easy, but it delivers wholly. It doesn’t just serve food—it invites you into a gourmet conversation layered with flavour, history, and soul. A visit here isn’t just a meal—it’s both a testament and a statement to where life has delivered you.

Special thanks to the masterful GM/Sommelier/General Good guy, NICK!

More of a hype than quality - far from fine dining experience that we expected.

We chose the à la carte menu, and to be honest, the food was very disappointing. By the end of the meal, we felt uncomfortably full. While the food looked nice on the plate, the taste was lacking and needs a lot of improvement. I was expecting a much better experience overall. As a vegetarian, the choices were very limited. The watermelon carpaccio was the worst dish for me—overly vinegary, with a texture that felt like the watermelon had been sitting out for days.

To make matters worse, despite telling them I was vegetarian, they served me a lobster dish with meat in it. The desserts were the only part of the meal that stood out—they were much better than the savory dishes.

While generally the waiters were kind and the manager was quite nice asking us if we liked the food, one of the waiters really pressured us to buy wine. We first opted for a bottle but not even two minutes after we asked the waiter if he could instead change it to two glasses, he later claimed he had already brought the wine from the cellar (which literally took him one minute) even though he hadn’t opened it and did not allow us to change to two glasses. This felt like a dishonest tactic, which I didn’t expect from a restaurant that claims to offer fine dining. Overall, this was far from the high-quality dining experience they advertise—it doesn’t even come close to...
