This is my new favorite restaurant. I don't mean favorite like favorite in Orleans or on the Cape. I mean favorite in Massachusetts. The food-- all of it, and there were seven of us, which is a big party for this small, cozy place-- was excellent. Small plates and bowls, something that made everyone happy from the college vegan-kid to the 79 yo touring (Europe/US) musician. Drinks were also perfect- best caipirinha since Panama. Part of me wanted to keep it a secret, but the better part of me wants the owners to have every success. read more

This place have the cutes decorations ever seen, great atmosphere, great cocktails, a lot of diversion of food. You could go from Peru to Thailand on one bite. Highly recommended. read more

Wow such a great find. Funky, friendly and the food was amazing. We sat outside under the covered deck but inside looked to be just as fun. Food comes out fast and hot and additional items are always encouraged to be tried. There was something for everyone. Hard to pick a favorite as all were very good. Will certainly return. read more

Amazing food and ambiance! The tzatziki and ceviche were scrumptious, with warm pita and tortilla chips. The beef souvlaki was a tad dry, the scallion pancake with curried sweet potato and raisins was DELICIOUS, and the salmon poke was so fresh. The khao soi was spicy but not too much, the bun cha was so delightfully light, the 5 spice tofu was cooked beautifully, the mu ping was "fantastic" with well-seasoned rice. The only lacks were the speed of service (felt like we were rushed a bit), the slightly small portions (maybe include the amount of food for each dish?), and the shoyu ramen was not as good as the other noodle dishes (still not bad). All three rum cakes were delicious, but the favorite was the hummingbird cake! read more

Flavors from around the world. A small restaurant with eclectic furnishings serves not your usual Cape Cod food. Something for everyone: Mediterranean, Mexican, Thai, Jamacian, Creole and other dishes all have their wonderful unique tastes. All erved Tapas style, perfect for sharing. They have veggie options as well. We will be back! read more

Ok, I've been dining out in Orleans for many, many years. I've always been a big fan of local favs like the Land Ho, Yardarm, more recently Rock Harbor Grill and La Bella Vita. Other towns had some good choices as well from Eastham to Brewster, Harwich and Chatham, but I want to talk about Abroad. Holy Smokes was it good! The food is for sure a reflection of the name. Asian, Indian, Caribbean, Polynesian flavors just to name a few. The good: love the Tapas/small plate approach! Everyone gets a taste! The vibe is eclectic and reflects the name as well as the food.... A funky little joint that is well decorated and helps make it feel more spacious inside than it really is. Service was awesome and our server super helpful. We enjoyed the visit by the chef who was checking in on our experience. The food was amazing and the three of us in our party all shared 4 plates and no one left hungry. The Bad: not a thing!! Maybe it would be busy during the summer, but not a single thing last evening! Simply well done!! Thanks for bringing some diverse cuisine to Orleans and I hope you find the success to keep you around for a long time!! Definitely on our restaurant rotation!! read more

I want to give this a higher rating, but just can't. The service and atmosphere were fine, and the tzatziki and papaya salad were terrific. But then it went downhill from there. I had the chicken tikka masala which had pools or oil in it, and the cream was curdled [still edible, not a health threat, so I ate it]. The arroz con pollo arrived with no chicken at all-- so had to give it to the waitress to get chicken put in it, and my friend who ordered it said it tasted like not at all made from scratch but just a processed spice packet put on it. Other friend had a thai noodle dish that she said had no flavor. The prices were way too high for these. Also we reserved outdoor seating (trying to be COVID-conscious) and 'outdoor' was a back room that was not at all outdoors. We really wanted to like this place as the concept is great and the decor and all of the staff were really nice. They comp'd us the arroz con pollo dish as my friend didn't eat any of it, and that was very kind of them. But we would never come back. read more

We went here Wednesday night, the food and service was excellent! We highly recommend it, it's a nice change of food selections. We got several items to share and enjoyed each one. This should definitely be on your list of restaurants to check out. read more

Our first visit to this eclectic restaurant. The food was very good. The atmosphere was fun. It's tapas style so was able to try many dishes and share them together. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic dinner at Abroad! They offer a wonderfully diverse and expertly crafted selection of tapas-sized options to sample, share and explore. The menu is globally diverse, featuring Asian, Latino, Indian, Caribbean, Scandinavian and American dishes - all wonderfully prepared, fresh, and flavorful. The bar and wine list are equally diverse and high quality, with a fun, eclectic decor and an attentive, friendly staff rounding out a terrific, unique experience. We loved it, HIGHLY recommend it, and will return. read more

Off the hook, excellent! It's atypical for Cape Cod as far as I can tell. The food is not giant and there are not french fries and cheese with everything. It's delicious, interesting food via smaller tapas-like plates. I've been 3 times this summer and everyone I brought there enjoyed every dish they had. If you're looking for same old, same old, this is not the place for you. If you want a great interesting restaurant with neat ambiance, I highly recommend it. My favorite drink is the Pisco sour with egg whites! Yum! read more

The food was delicious and we did a pick up order on the way back from the beach and it was ready exactly when they said it would be. Would definitely go again. read more

Great food, cool vibe, excellent service. A very unique menu compared to everything else in the area, definitely worth checking out!

I've been here about five times since they opened this summer and each time is amazing. The ambiance is super cozy and romantic, but also great for groups and not too loud. The owners and staff are super friendly and make you feel really at home. The decor is eclectic and collected from the owners' travels. The back patio is lovely, covered and breezy (bring an extra layer for cool nights) and the bar is great for just hanging out. Everything in the place feels very intentionally crafted, even the bathrooms are lovely. Now for the food! I've tried almost everything on the menu at this point -- it's always hard to choose between my old favorites and the specials. It's tapas but I've never left feeling hungry or like I broke the bank. I usually go with a couple friends and we get 2-3 dishes per person and share. Dishes range from $8-$15 each. The waitress helped us navigate around some allergies and preferences and the chef made some accommodations for the cilantro-averse. There are plenty of great veg and vegan options too. My favorites so far (but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu): Stuffed scallion pancake: Similar to an empanada but delightfully crisp and chewy dough. Fillings change daily but my favorite so far was a green curry potato pea filling. The curry flavor was so fresh and interesting. Scallop mango ceviche: Doesn't need much more explanation! The scallops were super fresh and flavors melded beautifully. A+ Som tum: If you've never had green papaya salad you need to give this a try. Fresh and perfect combination of savory-tangy-zippy. Nam sod: The chef told me he picked this one up traveling around northern Thailand and it's his favorite thing on the menu. I can totally see why! I don't know what's responsible for this flavor combo but like the som tum, it got something for every tastebud in your mouth. Pork tacos: These are just about as close as you can get to a perfect taco. Savory juicy pork, crunchy tangy slaw, hand made tortilla. Eat them right away when they land on the table. Jamaican jerk chicken: All the skewers on the menu are great but this one is the most succulent. The jerk seasoning is on the milder side which is good for folks who are new to jerk but it was also satisfying for us folks who like the heat. Ramen: It's really hard to find good ramen in most parts of this country but Abroad's is excellent. The broth has great depth of flavor with kombu and pork belly and the soft boiled eggs give it extra umami. And don't forget the drinks! The drink list ranges from some well-balanced tropical classics -- like the pisco sour, daiquiri, Singapore sling -- to some interesting new creations like the Caribbean mule martini (ginger+pineapple+lime = yum!). They don't stiff you on the booze either, which all of us appreciated. Overall this has been a tough year for restaurants and opening a new place during a pandemic has got to be very difficult. But folks at Abroad have always been super warm, organized, and professional, like they've been open for years. Based on the many full tables we saw here even after Labor Day, I'm sure they will make it through with flying colors. A much needed addition to the Cape! read more

Great spot. Interesting menu. Small plates (tapas) but quite generous portions. We enjoyed a delicious meal with very attentive service. Thai salad and bean taco were so delicious. Loved the decor too! Cozy and a little bit kitschy in a wonderful way. read more

The ambience was excellent, the variety of dishes from all around the world were delicious. Nothing failed to please. Their specialty drinks were amazing and I would return here whenever I am back in the area. The kids enjoyed their mock-tails and every dish we tried. The best part was that we got to try most of the menu being that the tapas style is just the right amount. A must try if you are in the area. read more

Eclectic ambiance and fun drinks menu, though the portions are extremely small. I understand this is a tapas restaurant, though the prices are too high for the amount of food that you get. As a group of four, we spent well over $200 after sharing 5 apps and each ordering a noodle bowl as an entree and left unsatisfied. These prices are similar to high end restaurants in Boston, though the food doesn't quite compare. Would recommend if you're looking for a cocktail and a small appetizer. Best of luck to this business, I hope they take this feedback and adjust portions/prices for future customers! read more

This is one of our favorite spots!!! We can't say enough about the food! The chef/owners are so welcoming and accommodating! A hidden gem! read more

Lovely food & drinks but the portions are tapas sized. May be if we knew beforehand, we would have set expectations accordingly

Such a fun and delicious restaurant! Creative dishes and a nice break from the classic options at the Cape. Very much enjoyed the Lomo Salado (a special) and the ceviche! We were able to get a table for two with no reservation around 6pm on a Thursday, but would recommend a reservation if you're going on a weekend, since it did fill up during our meal. Overall, a must visit for an adventurous eater! read more

Eclectic decor and great variety of tapas. Super friendly service and a chill vibe. I went with 3 friends tonight and we ordered about 6 or 7 different plates and they were ALL good. Even the vegan with us was satisfied with her meal. The patio is covered and nicely lit. We weren't rushed and we're able to enjoy a leisurely meal, a bottle of wine and nice conversation. What a wonderful addition to the lower Cape's dining options. read more

Great selection of food from all over the world. Smaller portions so you can try different dishes. Try some of their specials. Nice selection of cocktails. read more

We went there for dinner unexpectedly and had a really great time. Food was unique and fun. We tried a ton of different tapas off the menu and all were great. Nice cocktails and good wine selection. We wound up staying a while cause it was so cozy and ambiance was great. Definitely recommend for something different on the cape. Staff was very friendly and attentive read more

Excellent food..the tapas style menu makes for many different interesting choices ...and now they even have small and large portions of a few items that allows for the larger parties or the hungriest people to be totally satisfied. Highly recommend if your in Orleans or nearby on the Cape. read more

Great Tapas restaurant with unique international flavor. They had small plates from various cultures each reasonably priced and every one we tried was delicious. The scallion pancakes are a must try. The outdoor dining had a nice covering that made you feel like you were in a little courtyard. You could enjoy the outdoor atmosphere but not sweating in the hot sun. read more

Im not a huge fan of small plates but the food was good. My only complaint was that the atmosphere was too cluttered. It would be nice if a lot of decor/objects laying around were removed to make more open space. read more

Top notch, warm and friendly. Espresso martinis are a must. Pleasant and inviting, you won't want to leave.

Food is very good, love how it's decorated and the staff is extremely nice. My only complaint is you will leave still hungry. For 2 of us the meal was over $120.00. One appetizer, a meal and 2 drinks each. I don't mind paying more, but the portions are very small. I think the prices should be a bit less for the size you get. Drinks were excellent. read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere was great. Tapas style eating. Salmon poke was my favorite

We are so glad we discovered Abroad. Their inventive, creative menu is a welcome find. Our table was able to enjoy Hawaiian poke, Thai khao soi, and Peruvian street food all during the same visit. The service is warm, friendly, and informative. The outdoor seating space is a hidden oasis. What a treat to find this restaurant! read more

Delicious and different then all the other restaurants around this area. If you're looking to change the menu up one night check this place out. If you love Tapas this is a great place. Great service as well. Only thing we wish there was more beef for the amount of rice given in the beef bowl. Will be returning. read more

A small South American gem with plenty of tasty dishes ( from several countries). The bartender is also a jewel. He says he makes the best margaritas ......AND HE'S RIGHT! Our party of four shared the avocado rice bowl, tacos, lamb, beef and chicken skewers and Mu Ping. We loved it all. We're visitors from out of state (Girls Weekend). If we can make it back- we will! read more

Delicious dinner & awesome drinks tonight! Loved eating in a room with all of the windows open and fans nearby. Waitstaff was super attentive. read more

Wow! We had such a delicious dinner tonight and felt like we traveled around the world- to Hawaii, China, Thailand and beyond! We enjoyed ceviche for a starter. The scallops were delicious. The Salmon Poke was fresh and tasty! We tried the scallion pancake which was really different and scrumptious. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. Loved the ambiance. Service could not have been better! Thank you! We will be back. read more

My first visit to Abroad elicits high marks. The atmosphere is something with the feeling of far away and the decor is mesmerizing. The tapas style dishes were so delicious and fun for my daughter and I to share. They nailed it! - erin read more

We ordered takeout from here. The food was incredibly over-priced for the amount of food in the order, and it was cold when we picked it up. Overall, portions were small, there was little to no meat or vegetables in the entree (only rice or noodles), and seasoning or flavor of any kind was scarce. Would not recommend again. read more

If you are heading out Cape Cod way, you have to stop at Abroad in Orleans. The food is fabulous, the staff is amazing and the atmosphere is warm, cozy and welcoming! Eating at Abroad is like taking a world tour, so many yummy cuisines. It's like those nights you can't decide if you want Mexican, Thai or Vietnamese ... well Abroad has them all, with a bit of Greek and Middle Eastern ... and every dish is delicious. Chef Mike has outdone himself with this amazing menu and co-owner Molly has created an eclectic atmosphere you just don't want to leave. Bar tender Mike makes you feel right like an old friend. Can't say enough about Abroad ... if you are on the Cape it is a must!!! read more
