Abacus Bar & Kitchen

Very good location and great design of the venue. Staff are friendly and helpful. Love the look of the food and love the taste even more! Recommend the house aged butcher's cut the most as it has a beautiful aroma of the beef, especially when having it with the bone marrow. The lamb rump is served with pumpkin, which smoothed the whole flavour. The drinks they recommended are also lovable. Will definitely share the experience with my friends and come back again.

One of the larger cafes at Chapel Street. I like how the space is all open with lots of natural lighting and filled with plants. Reminds me so much of a cafe in Bali (minus the heat). A wonderful place to hang out and spend the day. The flat white oat coffee I had was just a little more roasted then usual. As for the blue swimmer crab crumpets it was a little too doughy for my liking, wishing there was more crab than crumpets. I must say I liked the side salad very much, which tasted like tart sweet apple slices (heard it’s either raddish/turnip).

Super speedy, lovely and friendly service. I just popped in to get an iced coffee as no other coffee place nearby was open and they got right on it! Love the ambience and the decor, will have to come by to try their food next time. Iced coffee with alternative milk for takeaway was $7.50 which I thought was reasonable for how good it was.

Such a great experience, staff was super friendly and patient and considering how busy it was they still paid attention and would stop if we needed. Food so delicious I am salivating just remembering my dish and cannot wait to go back for more! The place itself the atmosphere is great and well designed.

The place is nice and it looks very trendy from the outside, always with big crowds. But the food is overpriced and doesn't match the expectations of what you're paying for. For the same price you can get a better and bigger brunch with a more diverse menu of options to choose from in any nice brunch place in Melbourne. That tiny little snack/side on the pic is the lobster ceviche, which is ridiculously small and it barely has any lobster, it's mostly avocado puree, and that's $10. The mains don't come with bread so you have to pay extra $2 for 2 slides of bread. This is a restaurant for ambience and appearances only, food wise is not worth it.
