My experience at Red Hot Chilli Burgers in Corfu Town was a mix of positives and negatives. The restaurant is conveniently located just a couple of minutes from the main street and offers a beautiful surrounding. However, the small tables with only four seats, meant for a maximum of two people, were a bit cramped.
Upon arriving, the waiter attended to us promptly and handed us the menu. We made our selections, but unfortunately, we had to wait for about 15 minutes before the waiter returned to take our orders. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so the delay was a bit puzzling.
Language barriers made communication a challenge, and we had to go inside and inquire with the chef about the wait. Additionally, drinks were not served promptly, and one of our friends didn't receive her drink until after we had finished our meals. It would have been more considerate to bring the drinks earlier, especially since we were quite thirsty.
When the food finally arrived, we were quite hungry and appreciated that the dishes were served with the drinks. The beef burgers were well-seasoned and tasted good, although some of us felt that the meat could have been cooked a bit less. On the other hand, the "sweet" chicken burger lacked the expected sweetness, and it seemed like they had forgotten to include the sweet sauce.
A significant inconvenience for our group was that we couldn't pay separately. Splitting the bill is a common expectation in most restaurants, so this was a letdown.
In conclusion, Red Hot Chilli Burgers had its positives with its appealing ambiance and decently prepared food. However, there are areas for improvement, especially in terms of service and attention to detail. The language barrier and the delay in service could be addressed to enhance the overall dining experience. Additionally, offering the option to pay separately would be more convenient for larger groups. With these improvements, Red Hot Chilli Burgers could become a more enjoyable dining spot...
Read moreMy wife arrived before me. She asked about having a certain beer which I enjoy, which the waiter said he'd keep aside as they were running low. I arrived, ordered the beer, but they were sold out. No huge issue, I ordered my next favorite beer. The other drinks were all okay. I suppose it was a miscommunication between staff.
We ordered 4 different burgers between us (4 people). Everyone enjoyed their burgers, except for me, as I ordered an Avocado burger (7.90€) and the Avo was inedible as it was so had and unripe. I removed it. The rest of the burger was okay. Honestly, the cooks could get a better sear on the meat, toast the buns, and add some butter. That's sort of the standard of a burger.
We also ordered chicken nuggets and fries. Fries are not included when ordering a burger. The nuggets were over cooked, and dry. The fries were okay.
The service was friendly, pretty attentive and all round acceptable. Cracked a few jokes etc.
The environment is small, slightly cramped, but sociable. The tables are close together. I understand the space constraints, but that's why I deducted 1 star.
My gripe is that I spent 1,50€ extra on 4 very thin slices of avocado, which was not even an option to eat as it was so hard. They're probably out of season, so it would be better to inform the client that it's not available instead of providing it, and the customer not being able to eat it. We all know what we're expecting when we bite into avocado, and it's not a crunchy, dry, tasteless expectation.
Overall, I was not blown away. The food, pretty average on all fronts, the drinks, okay, the setting and seating, what it is. There is room to improve in the...
Read moreDEUTSCH In Korfu Stadt angekommen, einen Parkplatz gefunden und ab zu Red Hot Chili Burger – fußläufig vom Museum für Asiatische Kunst, findet sich dies kleine aber feine „Burger-Schmiede“. Man sieht der Zusammenstellung der Burger bereits an, das hier mit viel Liebe gebrutzelt wird.
Hygiene wird hier großgeschrieben – auf jedem Tisch gibt es imprägnierte Tücher und ein Fläschchen mit Handdesinfektion – besonders gut daran, diese war nur ganz schwach parfümiert – man will ja den Burgertaste nicht beeinträchtigen…😉 Der Service war super nett und engagiert – man merkte das man hier hinter den Produkten steht.
Wir hatten natürlich einen Red Hot Chili Burger – super lecker und wirklich schön scharf, dazu gab es haugemachte Pommes, auch diese waren yummy. Zudem hatten wir einen Cheeseburger und einen The Earth Burger, ebenfalls echte kulinarische Leckerbissen.
Man kann bei Red Hot Chili Burger zwischen zwei Brotsorten wählen, einem klassischen Burger-Bun mit Sesam und einem – sagen wir mal Steinofen Ciabatta – beide schmeckten gut. Das Einzige was wir hier an Optimierungspotenzial sehen würden war der Ketchup, der war uns zu sehr wie der von Heinz – hier braucht es etwas tomatigeres, vielleicht einen kräftigen Bio-Ketchup….
Ich kann dieses Burger-Restaurant in jedem Falle weiterempfehlen viel Freude beim Ausprobieren.

ENGLISH Arrived in Corfu Town, found a parking space and off to Red Hot Chili Burger - within walking distance of the Museum of Asian Art, you will find this small but fine "burger forge". You can tell by the way the burgers are compiled that they are cooked here with a lot of love.
Hygiene is very important here - on every table there are impregnated tissues and a bottle with hand disinfection - especially good, this was only slightly perfumed - you don't want to impair the burger taste...😉 The service was super nice and committed - you could tell that they stand behind the products here.
We had a Red Hot Chili Burger of course - super tasty and really nice and spicy, served with homemade fries, which were also yummy. We also had a cheeseburger and a The Earth Burger, also real culinary treats.
You can choose between two types of bread at Red Hot Chili Burger, a classic burger bun with sesame seeds and a - let's say stone-oven ciabatta - both tasted good. The only thing we would see potential for optimisation here was the ketchup, it was too much like Heinz's for us - something more tasting like tomatos is needed here, perhaps a good organic ketchup....
I can recommend this burger restaurant in any case - have fun trying it out.
