Since 2001, a renovated 1830s barn in Orleans, Massachusetts, has been the stage where Erez Pinhas has conceived and presented some of New England's most inventive cuisine. His extraordinary food, the curated cocktails and wine list, expert service, and warmly intimate dining space make ABBA a perennial favorite of discerning Cape residents and summer visitors.
ABBA's locally sourced, ever-changing, pan-Mediterranean menu is an expression of Israeli-born chef Erez: confident, assured, informed by his own heritage, experience, and training. What you'll find on our menu depends on what's coming in at the fish piers and what's growing in the garden. What diners and the food press say about ABBA, and why we consistently earn top scores from Zagat.

Services
Our place or yours? When you're planning a one-of-a-kind event, ABBA always rises to the occasion. We can come to your home to prepare an extraordinary dinner or party food, leaving you free to enjoy your guests. Or we can make the restaurant available (depending on the season) for a convivial company event or important family gathering.
A "rare amalgam of cuisines" stretching from Israeli to Greek, Italian and Thai "stimulates the taste buds" and provides a "wonderful counterpoint" to the usual seafood at this "consistently excellent, occasionally spectacular". A big-town restaurant in a little house just outside the heart of Orleans.
Your expectations for memorable dining start with perfectly prepared drinks and continue with wines matched to your meal. Enjoyed at your table or at ABBA's cozy bar, our cocktails are mixed with fine, often locally made spirits, fresh-pressed juices, and mad creativity.
Our wine list emphasizes selections from small producers, not found elsewhere, including many organically produced vintages - curated by Manager Christina Bratberg to complement our menu and our customers' preferences.

Sweets after dinner should re-ignite your taste buds but never overwhelm. We typically offer a few from Erez's Israeli heritage, like malabi, a delicate milk custard perfumed with orange blossoms and textured with pistachios. Other desserts celebrate summer fruit, in tarts or sorbets. Or we may combine chocolate and espresso in a frothy fondant.
