About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Abacá is an airy, atelier-style restaurant with a cool outdoor terrace, whipping up Filipino-Californian cuisine with flair in Fisherman's Wharf. It's the bricks-and-mortar spin off of chef Francis Ang's pop-up Pinoy Heritage. The lively menu is split up into barbecue sticks, noodles and rice, and small to big plates, but its far more nuanced than just that. Flavourful dishes pull from family recipes and are glazed with modern and heritage technique to result in a vibrancy that's hard to come by. It's grounded by local produce. Smoked Bay scallops lead in the seafood pancit, heirloom tomatoes top homemade tinapay bread, chicken skin is glazed in an adobe before hitting the grill and guinea fowl comes slathered with peanut sauce. A truncated list of creative Southeast Asian libations bring it full circle – if you're on the terrace, cool off with the Baguio breeze slushy – a dreamy mix of pandan-infused vodka, coconut and strawberry.

    Food was ok, but no stand outs for the price point important to note there is a mandatory service charge 20% and health fee 5% charged on top of the bill

    So the food here was honestly really good the only issue we experienced was. It seemed like if you weren’t getting tha paubaya they basically would ignore you. The other issue is it felt likw the server we had was trying to force us into getting the paubaya even though we kindly declined at least four times. We also feel like it was overpriced because they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill for basically not so great service.

    My second time for lunch and everything was delicious. Their pastries are a great take on Filipino traditional pastries. Their areoz caldo with lechon was delicious and the waygu silog had a very generous piece of streak. Loved the fresh baked pandesal and the accompanying spreads. And I have to say the service was outstanding. We had a toddler with us and everyone was so sweet and accommodating with him. Rebecca was amazing and brought our experience there to another level.

    We had an awesome experience from beginning to end . The flavors, the originality and the wine pairings were fantastic ( and frankly better than a recent 1 star Michelin for 1/2 the price !). We were treating like family. Also very accommodating ( and creative) for food restrictions . We will be back!!
