A warm and inviting destination for traditional Filipino food, Abé is a celebrated restaurant on Level 3 of SM Megamall, Fashion Hall. Dedicated to the memory of the artist-writer and gourmet Emilio "Abé" Aguilar Cruz, the restaurant serves a mix of classic Kapampangan dishes and gourmet creations inspired by his travels. Its cozy and comfortable setting is the perfect place for friends and family to gather and enjoy a truly authentic meal.

Abé is known for its heartwarming Filipino dishes, with specialties that include the famous Knockout Knuckles and the crispy Pritong Baby Hito. You can also indulge in the "artists' and writers' favorite dishes," which feature signature classics like the Crispy Tadyang "D' Original," a Bistro Remedios original widely copied but never matched. For a more adventurous palate, traditional Kapampangan delicacies like Arobung Kamaru are also available seasonally.

Beyond the beloved classics, Abé offers a comprehensive menu that includes dishes from its Spanish heritage like the tender Pastel de Lengua, and rich stews like Klassik Kare Kare. Don't forget to complete your meal with one of their famous desserts, especially the original and creamy Claude's Dream, ensuring a complete and memorable dining experience.
