Sabor

Third time at Sabor, and it has never once disappointed me. I had two of the specials tonight and both were outstanding. The seasonal wild mushrooms — maitake and black trumpets, grilled until deeply smoky, served with a raw egg yolk in the middle that you stir through like a sauce. Silky and crispy at the same time, with an incredible depth of flavour. One of the best mushroom dishes I've had anywhere. Then the kokotxas en salsa verde — such a treat to find this in London. Delicate,…

I booked a table for the el Asador a month in advance for my partner’s birthday. We arrived and were seated immediately, tucked away on a bigger table in a more private area of the restaurant. We had ordered the bread and olive oil, prawn croquetas, pulpo, morcilla, aubergine with anchovy cream and 1/4 suckling pig, and the chocolate basque cheesecake which was one of the specials. The flavours were unmatched, the portions big, the experience of it all so memorable. We were looked after so…

I’d been looking forward to trying this well-known Spanish restaurant in London for a long time. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t feel quite as special as I had expected.

The food was absolutely delicious—for us, the standouts were the octopus, the pepper stuffed with braised oxtail, and a fantastic dessert from their daily menu. Excellent food, wine was good, great service, and an overall amazing meal. We loved…

My favorite meal of the year thus far has come from Sabor. Front to back, there were no misses and everything we ate was phenomenal. We ordered the oysters on special, and I’m not even a huge fan of oysters but we saw a few other diners order it and the colors alone made it intriguing. This was by far the best oyster I’ve ever had in my life. Other favorites include the octopus, pan con tomate, and stuffed fried pepper, but again you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The service was…
