Opa Bath

The food

Small plates are the point here. Expect Greek staples such as saganaki, spanakopita, halloumi, calamari and souvlaki alongside bigger dishes like moussaka and lamb kleftiko, plus platters designed for two to share. Vegetarian dishes are marked on the menu, and the kitchen says it draws on dishes from across Greece rather than a fixed set list. Starters and specialities are designed to be mixed, so the easiest approach for a table of four or more is to order several plates and a platter and keep going. Set menus and early-evening meze deals appear from time to time, so check what is running when you book.

The room and the mood

The basement has vaulted ceilings and whitewashed, island-style decor, with terrace seating outside. When larger parties are in, it gets loud and cheerful, with Greek music and, at times, the old tradition of plate smashing. If you want a quiet dinner for two, go early in the evening.

When to go

Opa suits a birthday, a hen or stag meal, or simply a night when you want to order lots and share. It is right by North Parade, so you can walk to the river, Parade Gardens or the Abbey before or after. Book ahead for weekends and bigger groups.
