  • Pre-Show Gathering Spot

    Conveniently located near the Palais Theatre and the tram 96 terminus, making it an easy drop-in spot before or after nearby performances.

    On a Wednesday night before a show at the Palais in StKilda our group of 3 needed a place to eat. Abbey Road ticked the boxes.

    That PARMI 🤤 (I’m from Adelaide, so I’m saying it correct 😜) was the best one I’ve ever eaten.

  • Potato Rosti

    I had the potato rosti with poached eggs, asparagus and grilled tomatoes and my friend had the eggs benedict with bacon. Highly recommend the potato rosti.
