Abacá

Description

Summary: Vibrant Filipino-Californian fusion.

Abacá, nestled in a sunny spot, presents a delightful fusion of Filipino traditions and Californian flavors, offering a unique dining experience with dishes like smoked Bay scallops in seafood pancit, heirloom tomatoes on tinapay bread, and guinea fowl with peanut sauce. This airy atelier-style eatery boasts a cool outdoor terrace where guests can enjoy a selection of creative Southeast Asian drinks, like the pandan-infused vodka slushy. With a menu that features everything from barbecue sticks to noodles and rice, as well as small to big plates, Abacá takes pride in its local sourcing and the use of family recipes enhanced with modern techniques. The space might be sunny and inviting, but it's the food that truly shines, with a focus on traditional flavors and methods that serve as a foundation for inventive and colorful dishes. Pork is a standout, particularly in the form of succulent longganisa skewers with cane vinegar and puffed rice, but the abundance of Northern California produce is also celebrated. Additionally, the venue showcases the pastry expertise of its founders with unique desserts and freshly baked goods available at their in-house panaderia.
