Abacá’s culinary master, Chef Francis Ang is all set to delight you with a four-course menu with all the Filipino goodness and in-season Californian ingredients.

“The Chef’s Tasting Menu is our way of showcasing what we think are the best dishes on the menu,” said Chef Ang in an interview.

“We also wanted our guests to leave full but not overly so, we’re excited for our guests to experience this new menu as we feel like it’s a great showcase of what we do,” he added.

Furthermore, their cocktail offerings boast of Filipino-inspired concoctions such as the “Why You Always Laing?” and the restaurant-favorite ube colada.
