In Homer's time —
before there were maps,
before there were inns,
before there were names —
YOU OPENED
YOUR DOOR.
Winebefore name.
Foodbefore story.
A roofbefore farewell.
To turn away a stranger
was to turn away
the gods.
Three thousand years on —
the door is still open.
Strangers become friends.
Friends become . . .

Our Story

Sharing Our Culture,
One Table At A Time

"It was never only about the food. It's about sharing where we come from, and showing Echuca how generous, how alive, real Greek cooking can be."

Born from a deep pride in their heritage, Nick & Maria opened Opa to bring a piece of Greece to the Murray: the fire, the feasting and the warm, open-hearted hospitality. Every plate is an invitation to taste the culture they grew up on.

Our Spaces

Room For Every
Occasion

From the buzz of the main room downstairs to a quiet table upstairs and a balcony made for long summer evenings, there's a corner of Opa for every gathering.

The vibrant heart of the venue: clinking glasses, the warm hum of a full room and plates landing in the middle of the table. The best seat for the whole Opa experience.

Upstairs

Upstairs Dining

An intimate room just above the main room, perfect for a quieter dinner and available as a private dining space for your celebration or event.

The Greek Oasis

Oasis Balcony

A stunning white-decked terrace wrapped in cascading bougainvillea & jasmine and strung with warm light, made for balmy summer evenings, sunset spritzes and long, late dinners beneath the stars.

The octopus was the best we've had outside of Greece, and the lamb cutlets off the charcoal were extraordinary. Nick and Maria made us feel like family.

A genuine gem in Echuca. Every share plate was a highlight and the service had that warm, generous Greek spirit. We'll be back every time we're in town.

Booked a work dinner for twelve and they handled it beautifully. The seafood pasta and meat platter disappeared in minutes. Faultless.
