Abba

A French-cuisine-trained Israeli chef and a Thai line cook create the fusion cuisine at this popular spot. The mood, with candles in Moroccan tea glasses and colorful pillows, is sophisticated. The flavors found here are found in no other restaurants on Cape Cod. Dishes from North Africa, Spain, Italy and France are joined with Indian curries and Thai spices. It’s an impressive combination. Start with Wellfleet oysters with Thai lemon sauce; move on to a rack of lamb with dried-fruit couscous, and end with the sticky black-rice pudding with fresh pineapple and coconut-pineapple ice cream. It’s a whirlwind trip without leaving the Cape.
