Best Brunch Restaurants in Glen Iris

We had a lovely night at Abacus. The ambiance is gorgeous, the surroundings were beautiful and the noise level wasn't as deafening as at some other venues- we could actually each other in conversation. The service from the waiting staff was great, they were very friendly and helpful. The food was nicely presented but my steak had sinews making it difficult to eat. I would give it another try, hopefully, the sinews were just a once-off.

A great place to kick off 2025. The restaurant was packed but the staff were friendly and unflustered. We were asked if we would like to move to a window table that became available - we took up the offer and enjoyed the wonderful view. Great assistance from a staff person in selecting our wine. Generous servings of food that was delicious. Minus 1 star for small portions of seafood in my pasta but aside from that I would highly recommend.

The service was good and the staff was friendly. The food was really nice and the coffee was good as well. Highly recommended, and only a quick stroll to the botanical gardens.

Beautiful setting, exceptional food and attentive staff. Highly recommend James Said Bistro.

We had our work Christmas lunch here, We ordered our food prior to arriving due to work and having a time restraint. The food arrived very soon after we arrived and the food was very good and reasonably priced. We would recommend it.
