Kalabasa Market is a multicultural food hall at 60–61 Middle Abbey Street, bringing together food and drink inspired by cuisines from around the world. The restaurant describes itself as a place where different cultures meet through food, with a menu that ranges from Brazilian and Latin American cooking to burgers, pizza and other international dishes. It has a lively, informal character that shifts towards more of an entertainment venue in the evening.
The food offering is particularly broad. Brazilian dishes include picanha, feijoada and bife acebolado, while the Latin American section features Mexican favourites such as tacos al pastor, tacos de carnitas, birria and pozole. There are also burgers, including a Kalabasa Signature burger, alongside chicken burgers and other European-style options. The menu also includes vegetarian and vegan choices, including vegan tacos.
Rather than a conventional restaurant with one defined cuisine, Kalabasa's appeal lies in its variety. The menu allows diners to order across different sections, making it particularly useful for groups who want different styles of food. There is also a full bar, with cocktails and other drinks complementing the food offering.
The venue is designed as a social space, with seating for families, friends and solo diners. Its evening offering goes beyond food, with karaoke, live music and private karaoke rooms available for groups. Private events can also be arranged, with dedicated spaces and custom menus for celebrations and corporate gatherings.
Kalabasa Market is open for lunch and dinner, with later hours at the weekend. Takeaway and delivery are also available, while reservations can be made for those planning ahead.
