Named after Chef Francisco’s mother, Ophelia will specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine prepared with a refined, elevated approach.

“Given my strong connection to Mexican cuisine, we saw an opportunity to take advantage of my knowledge and passion and do something truly unique here in Olympic Village,” Higareda explains. “My mother inspired my love of cooking and it will be a true honour to return to my roots and pay homage to her and my country at Ophelia this spring.”

Ophelia will also offer a fully licenced bar serving handcrafted cocktails made with premium tequilas and mezcals, along with local and imported craft beers, and New- and Old-World wines.

    The staff was lovely however the waiter dropped some nachos from our appie dish and we ordered more to finish off our avocado dip. We were charged for extra chips. Overall the food is excellent and the staff is friendly.

    It was a nice restaurant for sure, our server was good but it seemed as though she had more conversation with other tables than ours? I tried to spark talks but never got any further than that. Food was good but ultimately very greasy. Guacamole was delicious though. We caught the very bottom end of happy hour so for a beautiful ambience the restaurant did grow very loud even though it wasn’t very busy. Might’ve been where we were sitting as well as they crammed every table around us. I’d personally give it a 3/5 stars all in all.

    Tasty, fresh and authentic Mexican cuisine. Enjoyed the spicy mango margarita! Chips and dips starter was a nice touch and start to a fun evening food experience. Seafood app to share was fresh and tasty. Mains were flavourful and tasty. Taco trio with 3 different pork fillings in corn tortillas was excellent. Enchiladas were flavourful and chicken in house mole was delicious.

    The food and service was amazing! The only issue I had was that it was so loud that it was difficult to hear the server when we were speaking to each other. Keep in mind it was at 6pm on a Friday though, so I think more noise is to be expected at that time in a busy restaurant.
