A Greek meal by the Brisbane River
Opa Bar & Mezze is at Eagle Street Pier, close to the Brisbane River. Its arched windows and booth seating frame the water and city, and the dining room has a polished, contemporary feel. You can come for lunch, dinner or drinks, with a menu that ranges from small plates to larger dishes for sharing.
The setting suits a leisurely meal with friends or a special occasion. If you are dining alone, the bar area is another place to sit. It can be quieter than the main room when the restaurant is busy.
What to order
Start with dips such as hummus or tzatziki and bread, then add a few plates for the table. The menu includes oysters, seafood and Greek-style mezze, along with substantial dishes. Moussaka is a rich, comforting choice; lamb shoulder is suited to sharing, and chicken skewers come with tzatziki.
Seafood saganaki pairs seafood with tomato, feta, herbs and capers, making bread useful for scooping up the sauce. Other menu items include grilled octopus, Greek salad, saganaki and baklava. Cocktails and wine round out the meal.
Booking and dining etiquette
Reserve in advance if you want to dine in the main room, particularly for lunch or dinner. When that area is full, the bar can provide a quieter setting, though it may have a different service arrangement.
Opa’s Greek theme does not mean plates should be smashed at the table. Keep them intact and enjoy the meal; the menu has plenty of seafood and share plates to keep the table busy.
