Advantages: None that I can think of. Disadvantages: Large Menu & too many "IS EVERYTHING OK"
Sabastian's Taverna.
This taverna is located at the Top Of the street in Agios Gordios about 50 yards down from the Bus Stop.
It is set on a large terrace that looks down the street towards the Sea but no Sea View.
We only ate there once, please take this into account, but we also met more people who said the same rather than those who had gone back.
The first thing that struck me was that you were not automatically supplied with bread, very un-greek.
You could order "Bread & Butter" or Garlic Bread.
Our meal.
Starters:-
Galic mushrooms, which my wife was pleased with.
I had the Little Banana Peppers stuffed with spicy feta, very good, but felt the two requests "Is everthing OK" during the starters a little over the top.
Mains:-
The lady had SORIFTO, Corfu Speciality, Beef with a wine and garlic sauce ...
Advantages: BEST STAFADO IN THE WHOLE OF GREECE Disadvantages: NOT EATING THERE TONIGHT
By the end of this review you the reader will probably have the idea that this was our favourite place to eat.
We started the Holiday, as you do, intending to eat in a different Taverna each night, that works OK until you fall into a place such as LITHOS.
This is a small place on the One Street of Aghios Gordios, sandwiched between two larger places, Argo and Mermaid.
It has about 10 Tables in the front, with a further 6 in the rear. A small Bar area and the Kitchens.
The Father Demitri is the skill behind the cooking with his son doing the serving, the fact that the Son is a dead ringer for a Young George Cluney has no bearing on the wife's desire to eat here often.
It has a wonderful relaxed feel, with the son never seemimg rushed, just the right number of tables for one to manage.
Starters we tried.
Yigantes ...
Advantages: Amazing, relazing, beautiful. Disadvantages: Some parts are very chavvy and "english"
many peoples idea of heaven, but to me and my family, iy was the complete opposite, and we were so lucky to be staying somewhere that was very Greek, the tavernas sold some "English" food, but were prodominantly Greek, and didn't play on serving English food to tourists, or showing "football", but were real Greek establishments run by real Greek people.
We swiftly left those places, and then found a little place called Old Perithia, I was only around 14 at the time, and so I must admit I wanted to go the beach, and waterparks again, but now looking back, it was possibly the most beautiful place I have ever seen, it was pretty much a ghost town, in the 14th Century, the people of Corfu were scared of been raided by Pirates and so they had moved up to the mountains and Old Perithia and the likes, but then when the threat was no longer ...

Manufacturer's product description
You want authenticity? This is it, right on a corner in the heart of the old town, a block back from the Esplanade. You sit under a grape arbor among your fellow diners, a mixture of locals and tourists, united in their desire for a no-nonsense taverna meal. The specialties of the house tend to be off the spit or grill. Winners include souvlaki (kebab), chicken, pork, and kokoretsia (lambs' intestines roasted on the spit). The cooked vegetables -- green beans, eggplant, and whatever is in season -- are also tasty. Add a glass of the house red and you'll wonder why anyone would want to go to a fancier place.
