The best Spanish in London town
 |
| Grilled scarlet prawn |
My 4th visit to Sabor, and the only Spanish restaurants I have been to more than 2 times in London. Why? The answer is simple as Sabor is easily the best Spanish restaurant in London. The place is always buzzing and lively, the service is rock solid and well above your standard restaurant, but most importantly the food is truly special. If you can't take a trip to Spain, Sabor is the closest thing you will find in London. For seriously foodie, the action comes from upstairs space: El Asador. This is where you will get large sharing plates of classic Spanish dishes, such as the iconic suckling pig. The restaurant also offers a small list of daily special, depending on what is fresh off the market.

Off the special board, I picked the giant scarlet prawn, which was simply grilled with some sea salt and olive oil. As expected, the head was packed with umami explosion from the sea, and the body was so tender and sweet. The grilled brill was another excellent dish, the fish was flaky and the seasoning was perfect with just a small hint of charred taste, it was fish cookery at the highest level. The main event of Galician rib of beef had an inviting woody and smoky aroma, the meat was so moist in texture and really bold in taste. It was cooked on the bone so it absorbed all the rich meaty savory tone, it was exceptional.

My fourth visit at Sabor was the best yet, I especially enjoyed the large sharing dishes, all the dishes were very enjoyable. I would say the Michelin star status is totally deserved and it is so much better than the recent meal I have had in Barrafina, which where the chef-owner and GM of Sabor came from. Sabor is one of those Spanish restaurants best for small groups so you can enjoy a range of dishes together, I would love to return in the near future.
