Salto Wine Bar & Bistro

Salto Wine Bar & Bistro is a wine bar and bistro in the Old Town of Corfu, in the Ionian Islands of Greece. Its cooking carries Spanish influences, which sets it apart from the Corfiot and Greek tavernas that dominate the surrounding streets. The menu is organised around sharing platters, the dish recorded as its signature, and the format suits groups who want to graze on several small plates while working through a wine list. The emphasis on platters rather than individual main courses gives the evening a social, unhurried rhythm; the style resembles tapas-led eating, with cured and cold items alongside warm plates. No chef lineage or awards are documented, and the appeal rests on the combination of food and drink in a relaxed setting rather than on a tasting-menu ambition. The atmosphere is that of a convivial evening wine bar, with a moderate noise level that rises as the night goes on, and there is no formal dress code. Prices are mid-range, at around €18-35 per person (about USD 21-40), depending on how many platters and glasses are ordered. The beverage programme is the focus, with wine by the glass as the natural way to pair several small dishes. Reservations are recommended for evenings, especially on weekends and through the summer season, when the Old Town fills with visitors. Lunch and early evening are easier for walk-ins. The exact street address is listed only as the Old Town, so a map check before setting out is advisable. For travellers who have eaten Corfiot specialities for several days, it offers a change of flavour while remaining within walking distance of the Liston, the Spianada and the main sights of the historic centre.
