Greek comfort classics in Corfu Old Town with a broad menu and friendly staff praised by many, but expect variable service speeds and value complaints during busy times.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Old Times delivers solid neighborhood dining with charming old-town street seating and reliable grilled seafood and octopus, but inconsistent execution across the menu and frequent long waits at peak service prevent a higher grade. The restaurant excels as a worthwhile local find for seafood lovers willing to navigate variable pacing and tourist-area pricing.
Restaurant Summary
Set among the lanes of Corfu Old Town, Old Times feels cozy and welcoming with shaded street tables and a steady hum of passersby. Guests often describe servers as friendly and attentive, though at busy hours the pace can lag. One diner captured the scene: "We sat under the trees just off the main street and felt tucked away from the bustle." The cooking leans classic Greek with a side of Italian comfort: grilled octopus, pastitsada, gyros, pizzas, and pastas over fuss or flash. Expect straightforward flavors rather than culinary theatrics; seafood platters and octopus draw particular praise, while a few report uneven pasta or heavy bechamel. Pricing reflects the old-town address, so value feels fair to some and high to others. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like pizza, pasta, and gyros. Portions are manageable, and you can round out the table with dips, fries, or a Greek salad. If your crew prefers very plain flavors, steer toward margherita-style pizza, simple pasta, or chicken souvlaki; the grilled seafood suits adventurous eaters.
