Description

Chef Nieves Barragán has created something authentic and truly joyful with Sabor. There are three distinct areas: on the ground floor is the bar and, opposite, a counter serving dishes from all over Spain including fresh seafood from their in-house fishmonger. Upstairs is El Asador – the only area for which bookings are taken – and here you can enjoy specialities from Galicia and Castile. There are two must-haves: the succulent Segovian suckling pig roasted in the specially built oven and the melt-in-the-mouth octopus cooked in vast copper pans. You’ll be licking your lips for hours.

Review summary

Based on 80 reviews averaging 4.5/5 stars, Sabor in London is praised for its food quality, service, and vibrant atmosphere. Diners highlight authentic tapas, octopus, and suckling pig, enhanced by an open kitchen. However, criticisms focus on value for money, erratic meal pacing, and excessive noise. Negative reviews cite bland or overly oily dishes, poor wine map maintenance, and chaotic service, contrasting with generally positive staff interactions. While the culinary execution and energetic ambiance appeal to many, the inconsistent pacing and high expectations regarding value may disappoint some. It suits those seeking lively, authentic Spanish dining who can tolerate a fast-paced environment.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking a lively atmosphere and authentic Spanish tapas who are flexible with meal pacing.
