Abacus

Abacus Bar & Kitchen is a vibrant all-day dining destination in the heart of South Yarra. With its open-plan design, high ceilings, and an abundance of greenery, the space exudes a calming, modern charm that blends natural textures with urban sophistication. The inviting interior—defined by warm timber, concrete finishes, and large windows—creates a tranquil oasis for both relaxed daytime meals and lively evening gatherings.

The menu is driven by a commitment to seasonal produce and bold, contemporary flavours. Breakfast highlights include sweetcorn and halloumi fritters with avocado and cucumber salad, and spanner crab crumpets with pickled kohlrabi and hollandaise. Lunch and dinner selections span from mushroom cavatelli with pecorino to squid ink linguine with prawns and sugo, and a perfectly grilled porterhouse steak with demiglace. Small plates like Sydney rock oysters with yuzu mignonette and confit duck croquettes offer shareable indulgence.

Perfect for brunch dates, casual dinners, or special occasions, Abacus also caters to private events, offering tailored experiences for up to 150 guests.

From its innovative dishes to its laid-back, stylish vibe, Abacus Bar & Kitchen delivers an elevated yet approachable dining experience in one of Melbourne’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
