Klassik Kare-Kare 5/5
Beef and tripe were tender and the 'sarsa' is flavorful. My husband loves karekare. So, whenever there is karekare in the restaurant's menu, it will be am automatic order. And as per my husband who tried as much karekare as he can, Abe's is his favorite as of writing. Veggies were blamched, only eggplant and strong beans. I wish they'll add bokchoy next time. The dish is also served with bagoong alamang. Their bagoong has a distinct taste compared with others we've tried.
Sinuteng Baby Squid 3/5
Baby squid in olive oil and garlic. This is a little pricey for the serving, but it was okay. Baby squids are not chewy and cooked just right.

Abe is really where good friends dine as this is a great place to take your balikbayans and foreigner friends! They offer basically your typical kapampangan/filipino fare but they also have food with spanish influence.
We were 11 in our group with 3 Germans and a single french guy. We ordered the pinakbet, Crispy tadyang, Sisig, Bulalo, Baby squid in olive oil, Mutton adobo, binukadkad na plapla and of course, the bamboo rice. Our guests really enjoyed the food and how the bamboo rice was served. All the dishes were flavorful. Texture is spot-on and the richness of the broth was really filling. Serving size is average and prices were a bit on the steep side but worth every penny.
Abe is becoming one of my go to places whenever I crave for Filipino food. The food here is pricey but worth the once in a while splurge. My favorites here are the Gising gising and The Day After. Today we tried their Pritong Baby Hito and it was really good! Service could be improved. The last time we dined here they had more attentive servers despite the restaurant being full.
We always come back here for their Sinuteng Baby Squid and Bamboo Rice. We get particularly entertained with the rythmic tapping of the bamboo before they serve the rice in it. Other dishes are also delish, such as the morcon and sinigang. The only downside is that they serve in small portions. Prices are on the steep end because only a maximum of 2 people can share in one dish.
One of the pillars for Filipino food in metro Manila. The best thing I love here is their crispy pata! Very crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It’s a busy place because it’s really good. This is where I would go for Filipino food. Authentic and just real!
We ordered Karekare and for us that was not the best but still good. Service was also good, stuffs were very accommodating and friendly.

Well known restaurant for classic Filipino dishes over more than a decade.
We had Suam of Fresh Corn (good); Laing with Tinapa (excellent) and Manyamang Beef Asado (very good). Tge last is a Filipino fiesta dish of top quality beef in a lovely asado sauce.
First time to try Abe in BGC. Good comfort food and the servers are very attentive to our needs. I hope they expand in Makati. We are happy with the juice selections too
