Had high hopes, but ended uo being a bit disappointed to be honest, the night we went they were busy, but they suggested we sat at the bar for a drink while we waited for a table. We said that would be fine, but no-one then asked us what we would like, we sat there for ten minutes before asking different waiter if we could have a drink. We then realised other people, also arriving without reservations, were then being shown to tables, so we had to flag up that we were still waiting, now for half an hour. We then got a table, but had to wait ten minutes for a menu, we asked for another drink which the waitrd then forgot to bring, so ten minutes later we reminded him after our first course had arrived that our drinks hadnt arrived. The food was okay, but really it was the worst service we had during our two weeks in the area. Maybe it was our waiter, but we left feeling it should have been...
Read morePetra Beach Bar delivered a great culinary experience in a laid-back and picturesque beachside setting. We started with a selection of appetizers—opinions were split on the tzatziki, with some of us loving it and others finding the garlic a bit overpowering. But everyone agreed on the calamari: fresh, crispy, and absolutely delicious.
The real highlight here is the seafood. I’d especially recommend the frutti di mare—the octopus I ordered was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Even the side of potatoes, usually a forgettable detail, was nicely prepared and seasoned with care.
The location adds to the experience: you can sit directly on the beach with your feet in the sand or a bit closer to the building if you prefer more shade. Plus, parking was easy and hassle-free, which is always a bonus in Corfu. Overall, Petra is a wonderful choice for a relaxed seaside meal with fresh,...
Read moreExcellent food, one of the best meals I had on a vacation. Sadly we were totally ignored by the staff. Had to wait several minutes to order a second drink, waited 15 minutes with empty plates, no one seemed to care. Had to go to the staff to finally get the dishes removed and pay. We would have stayed for a few more drinks or maybe a dessert, but sadly not like that. There were maybe 3 other tables with people so I really don't know what was going on, maybe just a bad day. Would love to eat here again the next days if the service would be ok. (Or exist at all)
Insane amount of mosquitos btw, but a free spray is provided!
Update 3 days later: Went for a late night pastitsada and wanted to give them a second chance. Service was amazing and super fast. Didn't have to wait a minute for the waiter. Updated from...
