Soulful Filipino cuisine with a few surprises to keep things interesting

 

A meal at Abé is a taste of Filipino heritage. This restaurant, named after artist-writer, gourmet, and bon vivant Emilio “Abe” Aguilar Cruz, is famous for their creative take on traditional dishes. Take, for example, their sinigang sa ube, which marries famous elements from Filipino cuisine in a refreshing new manner. With interesting twists, Abé’s commitment to preserving and presenting authentic Filipino cuisine—especially Kapampangan cuisine—remains paramount to their DNA.
