| Kato Korakiana, Corfu (00 30 26 610 93342). Open daily, April to Oct, dinner only. Greek gourmets make pilgrimages to the inland village of Kato Korakiana to pay homage to Hector Botrini's innovative spin on Ionian cuisine. Daring combinations such as prawns in an egg noodle crust with creamed lettuce and smoked caviar, or grouper in bean coulis garnished with flowers from Corfu are delicious. Botrini's own prosciutto and smoked swordfish is outstanding, and his wife Monica's desserts are superb. Try the delectable green-tea-and-vodka ice cream. Service is equally accomplished, a rarity in rural Greece, and the dreamy courtyard is draped in bougainvillaea. |
