24-hour food lifeline in Terminal 1’s public area
In Terminal 1 at Corfu Airport, the simply named 24-hour Restaurant is one of the few spots that keeps serving through the night in the summer season. It sits landside, so you can eat here before check-in opens or after you clear customs and grab bags. Summer-only 24/7 hours matter at CFU, where late-night and very early morning charter flights are common and most other outlets shut down.
The restaurant runs on a basic Greek-airport mix: expect sandwiches, salads, pastries, and simple hot dishes rather than anything fancy. With no clear price tier published, assume typical airport mark-up versus downtown Corfu town cafés. You’re paying for being in Terminal 1 at 02:30, not for a destination meal. If you want a real sit-down dinner in town, eat before heading out, then treat this place as backup fuel.
In peak summer, the 24-hour schedule helps if you land after midnight or check in for 05:00 departures. Out of season, hours can shrink, so don’t bank on round-the-clock food in November or February. Seating is standard plastic-and-metal airport tables, and turnover stays quick when multiple flights check in at once. If your layover is under 60 minutes, this is still easier than walking out and back through security.
There are no standout signature dishes widely mentioned for the 24-hour Restaurant, so order with low expectations: go for whatever looks freshest on the counter and skip anything that’s clearly been under a heat lamp too long. Soft drinks, coffee, and basic beer options usually run cheaper here than buying onboard a low-cost carrier from CFU. Figure on paying a few euros for a coffee and more for any hot plate.
Practical tip: in summer, hit this spot before security if you have kids or a long wait; once you go airside in Terminal 1, food options can be limited or closed outside daytime hours.
