Gate-side option in Terminal 1 when you just need food fast
Pret A Manger in Corfu’s Terminal 1 sits airside after security, so you can grab something once you’re through checks and watching the single-runway action. It’s one of the few international chains in CFU, which helps when you’re tired and don’t want to guess what a dish is. Expect the usual Pret setup: chilled cabinet, coffee bar, and a small amount of seating that fills quickly on peak summer departures.
Opening times track flight schedules, with the shop generally open from early morning departures through late-evening Ryanair and easyJet waves. Prices land a bit higher than a city Pret, as you’d expect in a Greek island airport, but still below full sit-down restaurant levels in Corfu town. Figure roughly 4–6 EUR for sandwiches and 2–4 EUR for coffee, which is cheaper and quicker than ordering a full meal at a landside restaurant before check-in.
Food is standard Pret: pre-made sandwiches, wraps, salads, pastries, and snacks, all in a grab-and-go fridge. Turnover is decent in high season given the holiday crowds, so sandwiches don’t usually sit all day, but late-night flyers may find limited choice. Coffee quality is consistent with other European Pret locations, so it’s a safer espresso stop than random vending machines scattered through the small terminal.
There are no standout “Corfu-only” items here, so treat it as a known quantity instead of a local food stop. Use it for a quick sandwich, bottled water, and coffee top-up, then head to your gate early; CFU boarding often starts 40 minutes before departure and queues can snake back into the main hall.
