LONDON - HEDDON STREET

SABOR One Michelin star

Sabor, founded by Nieves Barragan and José Etura, is just off Regent Street in the little foodie enclave of Heddon Street. Sabor means flavour in Spanish. The Restaurant has three distinct areas: The bar and counter on the ground floor and the El Asador on the first floor. The first two are walk-in only, El Asador you need to book. Sabor was awarded One Michelin Star in 2018. We arrived at 7 p.m. on a Saturday evening, and after a short wait, we were given a spot in the bar area. We started with a couple of glasses of Jose Pariente Verdejo 2018. Followed by

Sepia croquetas y hinojo aioli

Cuttlefish croquetas and fennel aioli

Tempura de rape y alioli de mermelada de guindilla

Monkfish tempura and chilli jam alioli

Anchoas, lardo y picos

Anchovies, lard sheets, and mini breadsticks

Txistorra tortilla

A spot became available at the counter at that point, so we moved there. We then chose a Mimetic Garnacha Gallina de Piel 2020 and settled in for some more food,

Vieiras Reina

Queen scallops

Atún sellado, ajo blanco y almendras laminadas

Seared tuna, ajo blanco, and flaked almonds

Pulpo, mojo rojo y patatas

Octopus, mojo rojo, and baby potatoes

Presa Iberica Señorio de Montanera Y mojo verde

Moving on to dessert, we finished with,

Arroz con Léche (rice pudding)

Una selección de turrón Española

A selection of Spanish nougat

The service was very accommodating on a hectic evening, and everything was done with a smile. Every dish we had was top quality. A visit to the El Asador upstairs will, I think, be incoming.
