Taverna Leonidas Petriti — Restaurant in Municipality of Southern Corfu

We went there two evenings in a row, without even thinking, that's how good it was! The first time we had the fish for two, we had to wait a little bit because it was Sunday evening and it was quite crowded and people just kept coming. But for us it was not a problem, especially when we saw the huge magnificently grilled sea bream with boiled vegetables coming. It was fantastic! The freshness, the taste, the grilling, everything exquisite. Deserts were also very nice, we had baclava and lemon pie. The second time we went for the shrimp saganaki first (which was one of the best I had in Greece), followed by fried squid and grilled swordfish (the owner invited my boyfriend inside to choose the fish he wanted first). Again, everything was amazing! Fresh, very well cooked, the squid was so tender and tasty, the fish delicious. It is a family business, so they care about their customers and what they put on the plate. We highly appreciated them and recommend their food! Also, the tavern is located in the harbour, so the location, atmosphere and surroundings are very pleasant...

Taverna Leonidas in Petriti is an absolute must-visit if you're in Corfu. This charming, family-run taverna offers an authentic taste of local cuisine that left us both impressed and eager to return.

The food is incredibly delicious, with every dish bursting with fresh, local flavors. Whether it's seafood or traditional Greek dishes, everything we tried was expertly prepared and served piping hot. What truly amazed us was how quickly the food was prepared—despite being so flavorful and well-cooked, there was hardly any wait time.

The service was just as exceptional. The family who runs the taverna is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Their passion for what they do shines through in every aspect of the dining experience, from the food to the hospitality.

If you're looking for a place that combines authentic, mouthwatering food with quick, friendly service, Taverna Leonidas is the place to go. We can't recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back on our next...

We'd heard great things about this restaurant. Came in for lunch around half 12. Fairly empty. Asked if they had breakfast options and the waiter sorted of ushered us in and was a little dismissive, "yes yes we have everything sit down". Well they have limited breakfast options tbh, which we discovered when we sat and read the menu.

My husband had the full English. It's bread not toast, eggs good, sausages the little tinned ones. No veggie option unless they just gave you bread and eggs. Omelette option would have been ideal.

I had tuna salad and chips. The waiter made a point of telling me he'd need to put the chips on the side as otherwise they'd get oil on them in the salad. Obviously. I was ordering a salad and chips, ie two dishes, as advertised.

It all seemed a little rushed and lacking. We waited a bit once done and no-one was around us so had to...
