Traditional Greek food at Orlando Pointe

After all the adrenaline-inducing activities we’d participated in early this morning, we were absolutely craving some food. The team at the Orlando CVB had organised for us to visit Taverna Opa, a Greek restaurant at Orlando Pointe. Katie and I were incredibly excited when we heard this... our home city of Melbourne, Australia, has a huge Greek community (the biggest outside of Athens!) so we really love our Greek food and Taverna Opa didn’t disappoint! It maintains the tradition of feeling like you’re sitting in your Greek friend’s kitchen rather than at a restaurant.

The food was authentic Greek fare, really well prepared and cooked so perfectly it made you think you could actually be on the islands of Santorini or Mykonos. Traditional Greek dips like tzatziki and freshly-made-at-the-table (by you!) hummus were quickly devoured before the main share-plates of calamari, grilled vegetables, fish and tender beef filled us up completely. I think that’s one of my favourite things about eating Greek... the food is so tasty, yet healthy, that you can keep eating and eating!

In traditional Greek style, the end of our meal was marked by the waiters throwing napkins while we danced the mighty Zorba around our tables. With the music pumping, you really got to experience the sense of community surrounding a good Greek meal.

If you’re on International Drive looking for somewhere tasty and authentic to eat, make Taverna Opa your next stop!
