This was my 2nd time at Abaca restaurant. The food there never fails- the service is just as consistent. A must-eat resto for everyone who wants excellent food in Cebu. I think this is the 2nd best resto in the Philippines- not counting the hole in the wall restos, of course, after Sala in Manila.

had breakfast and dinner there in Abaca restaurant as we were staying there. the Ribeye steak was yummy! we also got the shoestring potatoes with truffle as side and it was heavenly! specially when it was first served because it had the right crunch and taste! would definitely eat there again when we go to Cebu next time.

when you want to take a break from the crowds at shangri-la and movenpick, this is your best bet. food was tasty, right size and the decor was beautiful. the service was spot on. the perfect hideaway for romantic getaway as they also have 8 rooms to boast of.

on this visit we went again to Abaca and it was probably our 4th or 5th visit. I wasn't that impressed with the food anymore and the service, while attentive was also slipping a bit. Maybe my expectations were set too high as I had such great meals there in the past. Will give it a try again next time... More

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel. It's mostly western style cuisine and was excellent. High quality, generous portions and a reasonable price. Well worth checking out.

Truly the best restaurant on Cebu Island. A rotating menu, based on seasonal produce. A good wine list. Great atmosphere. We ate here several times during our stay on Cebu Island, and I hope to return in the near future!

Spoil yourself, your family and friends and go to dine in this top restaurant from the Philipinnes. Excellent food and wines in a lovely setting. Everything is top top. Only two rules you have to follow: 1. Make a reservation; 2. Take your platinum credit card with you.
