At Okio, we’ve always believed that food has a deeper purpose. Yes, it should nourish. Yes, it should excite. But more than anything, we believe food should bring people together. That’s why, at the heart of our philosophy, is this simple idea: dining should be shared.

From the way we design our menus to the way we serve our dishes, everything is centred around connection. We want every table to feel alive—conversations flowing, plates moving, flavours discovered together.

Rooted in Culture, Driven by Connection

Both Mediterranean and Asian cuisines share a common thread: food is meant to be passed, discussed, and enjoyed as a group. That cultural truth resonates deeply with us. We’ve taken that idea and woven it into everything we do.

At Okio, there are no first or second courses in the traditional sense. Instead, dishes arrive as they’re ready, meant to be placed in the middle of the table and shared. You’ll find diners leaning in, reaching out, and exchanging reactions. It’s informal, intentional, and exactly how we want you to feel.

What Sharing Looks Like at Okio

Our menu is built for exploration. A table might begin with a vibrant tomato and peach salad dressed in citrus ponzu and mint—bright, light, and refreshing. Alongside it, you might share our grilled squid with sweet soy glaze and roasted peppers, or a bowl of handmade pasta folded with smoked eggplant and miso butter.

From there, the table comes alive with charcoal-grilled fish, slow-cooked lamb with lemongrass and coriander, or our signature risotto made with kefalotyri cheese and shiitake mushrooms. Each dish is designed to contrast and complement the others, creating a rhythm of flavour that unfolds naturally.

The joy is in the mix—earthy next to bright, crisp alongside soft. Everyone gets to experience the menu in their own way, together.

Not Just Food—A Feeling

When plates are shared, something shifts. You engage more, talk more, laugh more. There’s a collective appreciation for the experience that builds throughout the meal. You’re not just tasting something—you’re sharing a moment, and that moment is what stays with you.

At Okio, the Table Is the Centrepiece

Every night, we watch it happen: couples trying a new dish together, friends trading bites across the table, strangers becoming companions through food. These are the experiences that define who we are.

So whether you come to celebrate something big, or simply enjoy a Tuesday night out, we invite you to share. Not just the food—but the conversation, the atmosphere, and the story. Because to us, dining is never just about eating. It’s about feeling something together.
