Agounistra

Corfu, in the Ionian Sea between Greece and Italy, has a cuisine that has taken influences from both countries.

Argyrades, a village in the south of the island, is quiet but delightful.

The village taverna, Agounistra, serves good examples of Greek cooking in a pleasant garden. Everything we tried in this small, friendly place was delicious.

It's a hard place to happen upon, but if you do, walk straight into that lovely garden — you're guaranteed to leave happy.
