Stylish Old Town spot for Corfiot classics with creative touches; excellent seafood and lamb, lively terrace, but prices are high and pace and management demeanor can be uneven.
On a lively street in Corfu’s Old Town, Rex sets a scene of candlelit tables and warm, bustling energy. Servers are friendly and engaged, with many guests praising how attentive and kind the team can be. One diner summed it up: "Beautiful terrace, refined plates, and the kind of place you linger." However, peak times can stretch patience when asking for the bill or extra water. The cooking leans Corfiot and seafood-forward—think bourdetto, bianco, and lemon-bright lamb—prepared with care and plated with finesse. Standouts include scallops and roasted or stuffed squid, while a few dishes (moussaka or an octopus plate) are reported as hit-or-miss. Prices trend above tavernas, but many feel the combination of ingredient quality, technique, and setting delivers solid value if you order wisely. Families do well here thanks to familiar options like burger, omelet, pasta, and simple grilled fish. Portions are generally generous, though not uniformly so. There is no explicit kids menu, but servers can guide toward kid-friendly choices such as pasta or chicken dishes. For seafood lovers, it is easy to build a meal that works for both adults and younger diners.
