Opa Bar & Mezze
A lively riverfront Greek restaurant built for sharing.
Overview
Set along the river at Eagle Street Pier, Opa brings bold Greek flavours and big-table energy to Brisbane's CBD waterfront. With uninterrupted views across the Brisbane River and a breezy, open dining room that spills onto the terrace, it's a venue made for long lunches, sunset dinners and celebrations that stretch late into the evening.
The menu centres on mezze-style dining, encouraging guests to order broadly and share generously. Expect fresh seafood, chargrilled meats, vibrant salads and house-made dips, alongside larger plates designed to anchor the table. Traditional Greek techniques meet premium Australian produce, resulting in dishes that feel both familiar and refined. Banquet menus make it easy to lean into the full experience, particularly for group occasions.

The drinks list complements the food's boldness, with a strong selection of Greek wines, classic cocktails and spritz-style aperitifs suited to riverfront afternoons. Service is energetic and polished, matching the restaurant's celebratory mood.
Opa is less about quiet intimacy and more about atmosphere – plates landing, glasses clinking and the river glinting just beyond the terrace.
