Taverna Agni

Taverna Agni is a waterside taverna at Gimari on Agni Bay, on the north-east coast of Corfu in the Ionian Islands of Greece. It serves fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes, and it is often described as a family-run waterfront restaurant. The recorded signature items are prawns, fresh fish and traditional Greek dishes, which reflects a classic taverna menu where the day's catch is the focus. Agni Bay is small and sheltered, and the taverna's position at the edge of the water gives it a setting that few restaurants elsewhere on the island can match. One distinctive feature is access: the taverna can be reached by road or by taxi boat, and arriving by sea from other north-east coast bays is a memorable part of the visit. The dining room and terrace are informal, the atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, and the noise level is moderate, with the sound of the bay as a backdrop. There is no dress code, and swimwear with a cover-up is common at lunch. Prices are moderate, at about €25-45 per person (roughly USD 29-52), with fresh fish typically priced by weight, so it is sensible to ask about the cost before ordering. Greek wines and cold drinks accompany the food. Booking is advised in season, since Agni has only a few waterfront tavernas and evening tables are in demand in July and August. Visitors staying in Kalami, Kerasia or Nissaki often come for a long lunch followed by a swim, and the taverna also suits a sunset dinner. If arriving by car, parking near the bay can be limited at peak times, which is another reason to plan ahead.
