We moved to our main course. This time Abè proudly presented to us the Capampangan cuisine, giving us pride that Philippine cuisine are now treated at par in the international food scene. Take a look at the following, or better yet visit any of the Abè branches near your place. Last January 2014, it opened its fourth branch in SM Megamall.

Abè is the Cabalen (fellow Capampangan) word for "friend" 

It is where good friends dine with good and even exotic foods, served gourmet-style.

Though Abè is specializing in Capampangan cuisine, this Filipino restaurant also offered fine foreign drinks and wines. It also modified traditional Pinoy dishes by fusing foreign and local ingredients as a twist then served a la gourmet-style.
