Found It.....

Today we went into Old Corfu Town, this time with the intention of buying groceries and Baklava, after all it is always good to have something sweet in your kitchen for those munchy times!

So off we went on the old faithful number 6 bus.

Soon we were walking through the great streets of the Old Town looking for a supplier of Baklava....sounds like we are looking for a drug dealer doesn't it, well in our own way I suppose we were...lol!!!

Baklava!!

It was not long before we stumbled across a bakery (I think they call it that) supplying all good Greek sweet and sticky desserts, so we stocked up on Baklava and other sweetly delights and kept exploring the town.

The Lane Ways Of Old Corfu Town

We came across a Supermarket, so we purchased some really nice and fresh Fruits and Vegetables to get us through the next few days...but even better than that, they had a fridge full of the local brewery's beer, Corfu Beer. So being an important part of any healthy diet I had to buy some of their Real Ale and Bitter...my contribution to the well rounded and healthy diet that Lesley was looking for!!

Ziq Down One Lane, Zag Down The Other

A few narrow lanes later we stumbled across a very interesting little restaurant. It was just a few lanes away from some of the tourist areas and really seemed to be undiscovered by them, the only people in the place appeared to be locals as everyone seemed to know everyone elase. We had a look at the menu, it was all fresh local produce, mainly Corfuian, and very reasonable prices...decision made, we are having lunch here! We had found it.....the best little secret in Corfu!

Only The Locals Seem To Be Here
We Intend Working Our Way Through This Menu...Eventually

Lesley was craving for healthier food and found it here...she had the Gavros (marinated anchovies) and one of the best looking Greek Salads we have ever seen.

A Healthy Tasty Lunch

I on the other hand went for the Loukaniko (a beef and pork sausage served with a mustard, cheese, and dill sauce) and of course how could I resist the Moussaka.

A Very Very Tasty Lunch

What made me even happier was the fact that true to the owners claim of only serving fresh and local, he had Corfu Beer...the perfect beverage for my meal selection!!

When In Corfu Drink What The Locals Drink

Lunch lasted a good hour and a half and came to a grand total of under 28 euros....if you are ever in Corfu, you must come here...all we have to do is work out the English translation of the restaurant name. Anyway we will be back and will let you know.
