LONDON - HEDDON STREET - SABOR
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 pm on a Saturday evening and after a short wait, we were given a spot at the bar area. We started with a couple of glasses of Jose Pariente Verdejo 2018. Followed by

On a very busy evening, the service was very accommodating 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.
