Chef de Partie

Opened in Spring 2024,OMA is a restaurant located in the heart of London’s thriving Borough Market, inspired by the fishing villages and shores of the Greek isles and further Levant.

It is the latest project by the dcco. collective [ SMOKESTAK, manteca ].

A site in the capital’s iconic market has been thoughtfully restored with natural and repurposed materials that echo the raw and wild landscapes of Greece. Central to the kitchen is a wood-burning hearth with all manner of grilled and skewered meats form our in-house butchery, alongside vegetables from flourish farm, youvetsi claypots, and a raw bar serving crudo, ceviche and tartar from day-boat catches in Cornwall.

A 400-bin wine list with a dedicated wine team showcases unique selections from Greece and the wider Mediterranean and mainland Europe. Seating 80 inside with a further 50 on a fully enclosed terrace overlooking the market, this is a unique proposition within the area.

OMA is driven by a passion for showcasing the best of British produce. We work with the most inspiring, sustainability-driven suppliers throughout every aspect of its operations. We are proud to be an independent business grounded in a purely hospitality background. We invite all to sit at the table with us. We promote a culture of learning and development.
