Regarded as one of the most vibrant and culturally immersive Gree dining destinations in the city, OPA Dubai is housed within the iconic Fairmont Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Trade Centre Area. The restaurant is situated on the first level of the hotel, with direct elevator access available from the valet entrance. Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are reachable within minutes by car and the Dubai World Trade Centre is positioned just moments away, making OPA a natural choice for both celebratory evenings and social gatherings in the heart of the city.
The interiors are styled as a love letter to Greece, with whitewashed walls, cascading bougainvillea overhead, the gentle scent of jasmines and olives and intimate tables set beneath a sky like ceiling that transports diners far beyond Dubai. The atmosphere is lively, warm and deeply communal, reflecting the Greek belief that every table is a place of belonging. Live music, spirited traditional dancing, napkin waving and the iconic plate-smashing ritual are woven into every evening, creating a dining experience that is a theatrical as it is delicious.
The kitchen is helmed by Chef Timothy Newton, whose philosophy is deeply rooted in the traditions and landscape of Greece. Every dish is crafted using authentic techniques like grilling, slow-roasting, marinating, sauteing and baking, to honour the integrity of each ingredient. The menu is built around sharing, with a celebrated section of cold and hot mezzes, stone-oven dishes, mains and desserts. Signature dishes include the slow cooked Kleftiko served with creamy feta mashed-potatoes and mint salad, the Seafood Orzo featuring fresh mussels and shrimp, slowly cooked with coriander and Mediterranean herbs, the Marinated grilled octopus served with chickpeas and harissa and the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio paired with Kefalotyri cheese and carob. Greek cocktails, crafted to bring out the culture of Greece with every sip, are also offered as a part of the dining experience. OPA Dubai is rated 4.74 out of 5 based on over 2,200 reviews and is consistently taken as an ideal destination for couples, groups, and also celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
