Pane e Souvlaki

Pane e Souvlaki is a casual souvlaki restaurant in the Old Town of Corfu, in the Ionian Islands of Greece. It is described by one local guide as quite possibly the best souvlaki in Corfu, which has made it a reference point for visitors who want a simple, inexpensive meal rather than a full taverna sit-down. The cuisine is straightforward Greek grill: skewers of grilled meat served with pitta bread, salad and potatoes, which is the combination recorded for the house signature. There is no chef-driven tasting format or elaborate presentation; the appeal lies in fast service, honest portions and low prices. The dining room is informal and relaxed, the noise level is that of an everyday lunch spot, and there is no dress code, so beachwear-and-sandals travellers and day-trippers from cruise ships fit in easily. Prices are among the lowest in the Old Town, at about €6-12 per person (roughly USD 7-14), making it a useful budget option in a town where many restaurants charge considerably more. Beverages are the usual soft drinks, beer and house options rather than a curated wine programme. Reservations are not usually needed, and groups can generally walk in, although the busiest meal times around midday and early evening may bring a short wait. Visitors planning a day of sightseeing around the Old Town, the Liston, the Old Fortress and the narrow lanes of the Campiello quarter often use a stop like this to refuel between sights. Because the exact street address is listed only as the Old Town, it is worth checking a map before heading out. As with many small grill restaurants in Greece, ordering a couple of skewers each and sharing a salad is a typical and economical way to eat.
