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.

    We were running incredibly late due to traffic and they held our table and didn’t give us any grief when we arrived, which was so appreciated. Service was amazing and food was great as always - unique combinations of flavors and always incredible preparation & presentation. This is one of our go-to’s for a reason!

    Our dining experience was absolutely phenomenal! We had the chef’s tasting menu, and every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It’s truly inspiring to see Filipino cuisine elevated to a fine dining experience while still honoring its rich, traditional flavors. The restaurant also excelled in accommodating dietary preferences, offering an impressive array of delicious vegan options. On top of that, the service was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about every detail of the menu. This was an unforgettable meal, and we can’t wait to return!
