Magical Dining At Home with Taverna Opa

By Christina Thomas Leave a Comment

Recap of Taverna Opa Magical Dining experience and Tips To Enjoy an Epic Visit Orlando Magical Dining at Home

Recap of Taverna Opa Magical Dining Menu and Tips to Enjoy Visit Orlando Magical Dining Month at Home

Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month kicked off on August 28th with a twist. The program, now in its 15th year, allows diners to experience fine dining at a great value at over 70 restaurants around Orlando.

Tired of cooking at home? The three course menus include gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options as well as additional enhancements. Make reservations as restaurants are operating at reduced capacity. Dine in or get takeout (new this year!) while showing support for local businesses and helping to feed others in need.

For 38 days including six weekends, we get to experience some of Orlando’s best restaurants. The program ends on October 4th, 2020. And you don’t want to miss out.

Taverna Opa invited me to experience their Magical Dining menu and we had a wonderful travel inspired experience with Magical Dining at home. I’m under no obligation to provide this review and all opinions are my own. As always, I only share experiences I love to inspire you to go #MakeSomedayHappen one delicious bite, sip and trip at a time. 

Check out my tips for an epic Magical Dining at home experience and recap of Taverna Opa Magical Dining Menu ahead.

What’s new with Visit Orlando Magical Dining in 2020?

It’s 2020. Like all else, Visit Orlando Magical Dining promotion is different. These days, it’s not magical if it’s not safe. Therefore, we now have Magical Dining with safety in mind.

New additions encourage dining with confidence. Participating restaurants are going above and beyond with new safety measures. Takeout and delivery meal options for in-home dining is the new feature we are most excited about. The website also designates venues that also offer open-air and outdoor dining.

View menus of participating restaurants online and make reservations. Also, check the website often for new restaurant additions.

Taverna Opa Serves the Best Greek Food in Orlando!

Taverna Opa is local owned and operated by husband and wife team Vassilis and Katerina Coumbaros. Located at Pointe Orlando on International Drive, it recently celebrated its 13th anniversary and continues to be a local favorite for authentic Greek cuisine and a fun atmosphere. Nightly belly dancing, high energy dance music and napkins thrown in the air always make it a fun place to celebrate! And, we need fun now more than ever, don’t we? 

Taverna Opa Fun
The mantra to follow at Opa! “You won’t believe the fun you’ll have”

Taverna Opa has implemented extensive health and safety precautions for guests to dine socially distanced in their expansive dining room and covered outdoor patio.

Group reservations are accepted for parties of all sizes to enjoy the Magical Dining menu, however, a max of 10 guests are seated per table to allow proper social distancing.

While I absolutely love the restaurant ambiance, I chose to pick up my order and enjoy a more relaxed experience at home. If you’re concerned about dining out right now, this was a fantastic option. Napkins were provided so I could have a little Opa style fun at home like they do in the restaurant!

Taverna Opa Magical Dining Menu

The Taverna Opa Magical Dining Menu features a choice of their most popular appetizers, entrees and desserts. You can’t go wrong with any item you order. You can also enhance your entree by making it a Surf and Turf. Add a lobster tail for $22! And it wouldn’t be a great meal without wine and cocktails. They’ve offered wine and cocktail flights for $16 to make it a fun evening!  

Close your eyes and let your palate take you on a journey to Greece!

Let’s Start our Opa Magical Dining at Home Experience! 

We chose the Horiatiki “Traditional Greek Salad” with cucumber, vine ripe tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, peppers, and feta tossed with extra virgin olive oil and fresh oregano. It’s my favorite Greek Salad anywhere in Orlando! The quality of the ingredients shines.

Other appetizer options included the Saganaki vlahotiri cheese flamed tableside and the Crispy Calamari with lemon.

Main Course To The Next Level!

The restaurant is offering three fantastic entree options: 10oz Filet Mignon, Lamb Chops and Lavraki Branzino. Tough choice! We decided on the ones we don’t often have at home. It’s not every day we get to enjoy lamb chops and branzino, so those won our vote. 

Taverna Opa Magical Dining at Home experience

How often do you get to eat high quality, perfectly cooked lamb at home? The 36-hour garlic and fresh herb marinated lamb chops were incredibly flavorful. The restaurant sources domestic, grass fed lamb which renders a less gamey flavor. They even held up well after a quick reheating in the oven at home. Served with Yia Yia’s vegetables and lemon potatoes.

Lamb Chops To Go…

Lamb Chops Magical Dining at Home!

Whole Lavraki Branzino with fresh lemon and olive oil was my absolute favorite. Mediterranean sea bass is flown in fresh from Greece on a weekly basis. Char-broiled on the grill, it was incredibly flaky, meaty and flavorful. An additional squeeze of grilled lemon put it over the top. Watch out for bones, but we ate it all, even the skin.  Served with wild greens and spinach rice. Portions were so plentiful we had leftovers for lunch the next day.

End Magical Dining at Home on a Sweet Note! 

For dessert we chose the Baklava and Loukoumades. This was not your ordinary baklava! A giant portion with walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and honey.

Tasty Desserts and Wine pairing part of Taverna Opa Magical Dining at Home experience

Who could say no to donuts? The Loukoumades, Greek style donuts with honey syrup were scrumptious! Topped with chopped walnuts and I drizzled a bit more honey at home after popping them under the broiler for 2 minutes to warm them up.

Fun Cocktail Flight To Go!

Cocktails and wine to go are the best thing to come out of this pandemic. I highly recommend adding this enhancement for only $16 per flight.

Cocktail Flight is part of Taverna Opa Magical Dining at Home experience
Cocktail Flight and Wine Flight To Go is a perfect enhancement for Magical Dining at home!

We started with cocktails by the pool. Hey, it’s not the azure waters of Greece but we can close our eyes and pretend.

Serve your cocktails in rocks glasses, add ice and you’re all set!

“Aphrodite’s Kiss” with Ketel One Grapefruit Rose vodka, Elderflower, Prosecco and orange twist was a lovely aperitif, light and fun.

“Apollo Gives You Wings” with Ketel One cucumber mint vodka, melon liqueur and sweet and sour garnished with mint and fresh cucumber was refreshing.

“Ambrosia Nectar” with Metaxa 7 Star Greek brandy, Carolan’s Irish cream, nutmeg and chocolate was a fun milkshake like dessert cocktail. We topped it with fresh whipped cream at home to spruce it up. It paired perfectly with the Loukoumades Greek donuts.

Wine Pairings Flight

Ga’ia (pronounced Yay-ya) Monograph Moschofilero is a dry white wine with notes of rose petal and spice from the Mantinia region of Peloponnese in Greece. It’s bright acidity and floral bouquet paired nicely with the Greek salad and the Bronzino. 

Ga’ia Monograph Agiorgitiko, a smooth red wine with a fruity finish from the Nemea wine region of Greece was perfect with the lamb chops. 

For dessert, Pappagiannakos Melias was fantastic all on its own. Melia, which is Greek for “honey”, was luscious. Tastes of ripe fruit, sweet but not cloying. We alternated sips of the wine with the baklava for a yummy nutty honey and sweet combination.

Magical Dining For A Good Cause

As if eating and drinking at a value from the best restaurants in Orlando is not fantastic enough, the best part of this program is that one dollar from each meal will be donated to Feed the Need to support hunger relief in the community.

“Visit Orlando originally started this program 15 years ago to support local restaurants during the off-season, and this year is literally the most significant and longest off season these businesses have ever faced,” said George Aguel, president and CEO of Visit Orlando. “Supporting this program is a positive benefit for all – residents get to enjoy fine dining at a value, local businesses can put employees to work, and Central Florida residents in need will receive meals through this year’s charity recipient, Feed the Need.”

Recognizing the significant impact of the pandemic on the local economy, this year’s charity provides food for local residents in need. The beneficiary, Feed the Need Florida, is feeding those who are struggling to access food during the COVID-19 crisis. Since the program launched in late March, over 1 million meals have been served, and funds raised through Magical Dining will help feed thousands more. The effort is led by Orlando nonprofit 4Roots, plus public and private partners, to support Florida farmers, preserve and create jobs, and prepare nutritious meals to be served throughout Central Florida.

“We are honored to be a beneficiary of this year’s Magical Dining program,” said John Rivers, Founder & CEO, 4Roots & 4 Rivers Restaurants. “Although the COVID-19 crisis has shined a light on our efforts to feed those in need, the beautiful families and children we’re feeding today were hungry before COVID-19, and they’ll be hungry after COVID-19. We pray that others will join us in this cause, come beside us, and help make it happen.”

Dine in or Dine out and Help Feed The Need this Magical Dining Month!

Tips for Enjoying an Epic Magical Dining At Home:

1/ Not all restaurants participating in Magical Dining are offering takeout. I suggest calling the restaurant and confirming availability as they may make an exception during certain times.

2/ Order ahead. Call the restaurant with enough notice and let them know what time you will be picking up your order. Avoid the dinner rush of 7pm – 9pm. When you arrive, call the restaurant and have them deliver curbside to your car.

3/ If you have any allergies or special restrictions, be sure to communicate that when you place your order.

4/ Double-check your to go bag to make sure everything is there. Just a quick review can help you avoid an unpleasant surprise when you get home.  

5/ Add wine and cocktails pairings. It’s a great added value that will greatly enhance your Magical Dining at Home experience.

6/ Keep in mind that not all food travels well and to go containers are not always the most spill proof. Be prepared to secure your food properly in your car to avoid spills. 

7/ Bring an insulated bag or cooler to keep your meals warm. Especially if you have a longer drive. 

8/ Set the table and plate your dishes like the pros. Take out dinner can still be fancy. Dressing up is optional!

9/ Be prepared to reheat your food. Set the oven at 200-250F or pop under the broiler for a few minutes. Just don’t walk away. Watch out for it or you will overcook. 

10/ Set the atmosphere. YouTube is a great resource for music videos to set the mood. We searched for “Zorba Greek Dance”, “Greece Vacation” and “Greek Relaxing Music” to set the mood for our Opa dinner. We also played a spotify playlist of Greek Dinner Music. Throwing napkins up in the air and dancing the Zorba added to the fun! 

11/ If you have any concerns or issues with your experience, contact the restaurant immediately. All restaurants are struggling due to the pandemic. They are participating in the Visit Orlando Magical Dining Program by offering a steep discount as a way to market their restaurants and keep their staff employed. Give them the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to correct any mistakes.

12/ If you had a great experience, share it with your friends on social media and help the restaurant spread the word. Don’t forget to tag them and @visitorlando #MagicalDining

Spend a sophisticated evening with a progressive dinner & cocktails at the newly reimagined Grand Bohemian Hotel. 🥂

@grandbohemianorlando - Downtown Orlando’s Luxury Boutique Hotel got a multi-million dollar makeover. From the dining & bar options to the guest rooms & event space, if you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to go back! 💥 You’re going to love the new look. 💥 And you don’t want to miss checking out the artwork throughout the property and exploring the space like we did on a recent visit! 

The food. The drinks. The vibe. Perfect for an evening or a staycation getaway. And only steps away from Dr. Phillips Center and Amway Center. Drinks and dinner before and after shows is a must! 

Here’s what we enjoyed: 

🍸 BÖSENDORFER LOUNGE - start & end your night with cocktails in this gorgeous lounge.

🥂 FRENCH 75 (1st drink)
🍸 ESPRESSO MARTINI (last drink)

🎹 Fun Fact: There were only two Bösendorfer pianos designed by architect Hans Hollein in 1990 in the world! One can be found in the lounge of the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Orlando!

🍽️ BOHEME - fantastic dinner! 

🍤 SHRIMP COCKTAIL
🍅 BURRATA
🥩 WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO - my favorite!

🦚 THE PEACOCK ROOM - Private Dining Room for 24pp available for family style dinners

🥗 FARMER’S GREENS
🥕 BABY ROOTS
🍄 WILD MUSHROOMS
🍞 BRAISED LAMB
⭐️ SCALLOPS - loved this!
🥩 TOMAHAWK EXPERIENCE - WOW! 

🍷 Kessler Chardonnay and Kessler Cabernet

🍹ALTIRA ROOFTOP BAR & LOUNGE - brand new poolside bar on 6th floor, and it’s open to the public. Live DJ every evening Wed-Sun. Brunch on Saturdays.
Perfect sunset spot!

Next Level Avocado Toast! 🥑 Do you love to brun Next Level Avocado Toast! 🥑 Do you love to brunch? Here’s a fun & healthy recipe using #FreshFromFlorida veggies! 

I’m totally hooked on using Florida sweet potatoes instead of bread after I made “Everything But The Bagel Sweet Potato Toast with smoked salmon (the recipe on the blog) , I had to make a Sweet Potato Avocado Toast and it was amazing! It’s so good I did not miss the bread! 

Super easy to make! 

1. Thin slice sweet potatoes and bake in 450F oven for 15-20 minutes or use an air-fryer 
2. Top with guacamole or sliced avocado (I did both!) 
3. Top with a variety of fresh toppings: I used pickled radishes, grape tomatoes, arugula, cabbage, sweet peppers, pickled onions, & cilantro all grown in Florida! 
4. I added Kalamata olives and you can also add a fried egg!Have fun with a variety of toppings!

Pro Tip: Set up a Sweet Potato Toast Bar with a variety of toppings and host an easy brunch for friends.

Look for the "Fresh From Florida" label on products in your grocery store or ask your produce department manager for Florida produce.

Homemade Potato Chips for Brunch? Yes, Please! 🥔 

More than 2,000 varieties of potatoes are grown in Florida, so I figured I'd make homemade potato chips with a few different kinds. I used @lmcompanies Gold Potatoes and Blue Sky Farms Purple Potatoes and Red Potatoes (which I actually dug up myself during the #FFVAFarmTour hosted by @flafruitandveg @freshfromflorida & @agcommunicatorsfl @ufifas_solutions & @stjohns_ag 

Fresh always tastes better! Each potato has its own unique flavor and texture which you can appreciate tasting side by side. It was so easy to make potato chips in the oven, you won't go back to the bag of chips! (it's better for you too!) 

1. Scrub the potatoes well and pat dry with a paper towel
2. Thin slice potatoes carefully with a mandolin
3. Lightly toss or spray with avocado oil, sprinkle fresh cracked salt & pepper 
4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet - make sure potato slices are in a single layer and not touching
5. Bake in 400F oven for 20 minutes (turn over halfway through)

Set up your Florida Potato Chips Bar with a variety of dips and #FreshFromFlorida veggies for toppings. Add a poached or sunny-side-up egg and brunch is served! Guaranteed everyone will love creating their own messy pile of Florida potato chips! 

Toppings ideas:
- "Everything But The Bagel" dip (see my previous post for the recipe)
- Guacamole
-  Sweet peppers
- Radishes
- Arugula
- Grape tomatoes 
- Poached or Sunny Side Up Egg
- Flaky Salts (I used Smoked Maldon Salt)

Look for the "Fresh From Florida" label on products in your grocery store or ask your produce department manager for Florida produce. Have some fun exploring all the varieties of potatoes you can find.

Their tasting room and winery in Dundee, Oregon is a Must Visit! Located less than an hour’s drive from Portland, it’s a gorgeous space and a perfect first stop on a day of wine tasting in the heart of Willamette Valley. 

On my last trip, I enjoyed the “Sparkling Selection” Tasting Flight - complimentary as a wine club member ($45 retail)

2019 Estate Reserve Brut Rose, Willamette Valley
2017 Spirit Hill Blanc de Blancs, Eola-Amity
2018 Knudsen Blanc de Blancs, Dundee Hills
2011 Extended Tirage Brut, Willamette Valley
2012 Extended Tirage Brut, Willamette Valley

I’ve been a fan of Argyle for decades and it’s always on my list of places to visit when I return home to Portland and why I’ve been a wine club member for years. I get so excited when we receive a shipment!
