Abla's

Carlton VIC 3053
Abla Amad was born in Lebanon and arrived in Australia in 1954 at the age of nineteen. In 1979 at the urging of friends and family she opened Abla's, a restaurant that has become a Melbourne institution.
Ever since it opened, diners have returned time and again to experience her special brand of traditional, homemade Lebanese food.
For Abla it is a cuisine that can only be made from the heart - that's why she is widely regarded as 'the queen of Lebanese cooking'.
In 2001, Abla reached a milestone; she published her first cookbook, The Lebanese Kitchen, which was launched by then Governor of Victoria, the Hon. John Landy.
Abla is a woman who has not once forgotten her Lebanese background, while at the same time she wholeheartedly embraces and loves her adopted country "Anything you do with love, you can never do wrong," are words Abla lives by.
Cooking and sharing have always been her passion and that is why not only is she a consummate chef, she is an inspirational woman.
