For the past 6 years, ABODE has been delighting guests with sophisticated modern Australian eats, crafted using fresh, seasonal local produce.

This spring, the team from ABODE has curated two bespoke menus to celebrate the best produce of the season. If you’re looking to step away from your desk or indulge in a lavish long lunch, ABODE’s spring lunch menu has you covered (available Wednesday to Friday from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm).
Plus, ABODE’s spring dinner menu (available Wednesday to Saturday from 5 pm to 10 pm) offers the perfect chance to explore new flavours and savour timeless classics. Start with smaller plates of squid ink ravioli or house-cured ora king salmon before moving onto substantial mains of spatchcock, saffron linguine, and grain-fed striploin.
