Had a fantastic dinner at Opa Bar & Mezze. The atmosphere by the river is great, especially in the evening, and the whole place has a lively Mediterranean vibe. We shared a few mezze plates and everything was fresh and full of flavour.The grilled meats were perfectly cooked and the dips with warm pita were a highlight. The seafood was also excellent. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, and the staff were happy to recommend a few dishes for us to try. It was a really enjoyable dining experience in Brisbane. Great food, great location and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back.
We had a lovely experience at Opa. The Rib Fillet was absolutely delicious and tender - went really well with the jus. This amount was perfect for the 2 of us. The taramasalata here was also some of the best we have ever had. The staff were also kind and very attentive. And all this with a fabulous view of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. We highly recommend this spot!
What an absolutely beautiful dining experience at Opa Bar & Mezze Brisbane. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special — the riverside location creates such a stunning atmosphere, especially with the views right next to the water. It truly sets the perfect scene for a relaxed yet premium dining experience. We ordered the souvlaki (which was incredibly flavourful and perfectly cooked), and had the calamari — tender, fresh and beautifully seasoned. Every dish tasted like authentic, high-quality Greek cuisine made with real care and attention to detail. The cocktails were also beautifully crafted — refreshing, well-balanced and presented elegantly. Even more impressive was the service. While we experienced a slight wait for our food, the staff handled it so professionally and warmly, even offering us an extra drink, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Their hospitality genuinely stood out and made us feel valued. The food quality, the warm service, the drinks and the breathtaking riverside view all came together to create a truly memorable experience. We’ll definitely be returning.
Opa Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the tone for a perfect dining experience warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between lively and relaxed, making it ideal for both special occasions and casual outings. The food was simply amazing. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. Just looking at the pictures is enough to make you want to try everything on the menu and trust me, it tastes even better than it looks! Each bite felt authentic and thoughtfully crafted. What makes the experience even more special is the location. After enjoying a delicious meal, don’t forget to take a stroll along the riverside. It’s the perfect way to end the evening peaceful, scenic, and incredibly refreshing. Opa is definitely a must-try. Great food, stunning ambience, and a memorable overall experience. Highly recommended and do visit your friends n families. You will love it. Dont forget to take a river view seating. Reserve it.
Spent a long and pleasant afternoon with friends at this lovely restaurant on the north bank of the Brisbane River. It bills itself as a Greek restaurant… maybe. In reality, it’s more of a tourist-style dining experience. The food certainly looks like Greek cuisine, but unfortunately it doesn’t really taste like it. Add to that the contemporary fit-out and background music that isn’t Greek (yes, even modern Greek music would have helped), and the overall atmosphere feels disconnected from what it’s trying to represent. The only genuinely Greek touch was a single fresco on the wall. That said, the wait staff were fabulous and attentive, and the riverside location is undeniably attractive. But “Santorini style”? Not really. There are far better and more authentic Greek dining experiences elsewhere in Brisbane. This venue is more about the location and ambience than the food itself—acceptable, but expensive, and clearly aimed at diners unfamiliar with Greek cuisine. Will we go back? No. With so many other waterfront options nearby, there’s nothing compelling enough to draw us back.
