Francis Ang, who has been at the forefront of the Bay Area’s modern Filipino food scene for years with his pop-up Pinoy Heritage, is opening his first full-blown restaurant this summer in San Francisco.
Billed as a contemporary Filipino-Californian restaurant, Abacá will reside inside the Kimpton Alton Hotel, a new boutique hotel opening in May near Fisherman’s Wharf. Abacá is slated to open after the hotel’s debut, likely in late June or July.
