It's all Greek to me

After an exhilarating morning filled with hang gliding, several media interviews, and indoor skydiving it was finally time for lunch. We went to Taverna Opa which is located in Pointe Orlando off of the very popular International drive. Pointe Orlando is where dining, shopping, and entertainment all collide.



Taverna Opa is a Greek "Tapas" restaurant that thrives on "celebrating family, fun, & tradition". It has an amazing atmosphere that includes authentic Greek music, dancing, and the restaurant itself is designed to make you feel as if you're sitting in a Greek courtyard.
The food was exquisite, to say the least. First, we were showered with numerous appetizers including "Horiatiki" (Traditional Greek Salad), "Keftedes" (Greek Meatballs), Calamari, "Dolmades" (grape leaves stuffed with rice), and lightly toasted Pita Bread served with Hummus and their own homemade Tsatsiki sauce. All though every appetizer was mouth-watering my favorite was the "Keftedes". So delicious and almost impossible to have just one.
For the Main course Taverna Opa presented a three meat platter which consisted of Oak Grilled Pork Loin, Chicken, and Beef Tenderloin Kebob.


By far some of the best cooked meats Ive had to date. Each perfectly seasoned, passionately cooked to perfection and all reasonably priced. Right when you think you've eaten more than your fill, Taverna Opa gets you on your feet for some Greek dancing and Napkin tossing. A true taste of Greece in Orlando.
