Book NowAbout Opa Bar & Mezze
Perched directly on the Eagle Street waterfront, Opa Bar & Mezze frames sweeping river and Story Bridge views with breezy, sunlit dining. Diners gather here for generous Greek share feasts grounded in warm filoxenia. Long tables load up with communal banquets—tender slow-roasted lamb shoulder, crisp lemon potatoes, and deeply comforting moussaka with caramelized edges. Seafood fans gravitate toward the thalasina saganaki, a bubbling skillet of fresh ocean catch swimming in tomato, capers, and crumbled feta made for dipping bread into every last bit. At the bar, citrus-forward margaritas and stirred Old Fashioneds keep the tempo unhurried through late afternoon into dinner.
