Founded by former Barrafina head chef Nieves Barragan and business partner Jose Etura, Sabor is a Michelin-starred tapas bar and grill serving Andalusian-inspired tapas around a horseshoe counter on the ground floor, and larger sharing dishes cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven from Castile in their first floor El Asador.
That latter location is a beautiful space to dine in, with a spiral staircase leading to a boisterous dining room that has you sitting in close proximity with your fellow diners, building a communal, convivial experience.
The menu includes some less familiar tapas such as confit rabbit shoulder and tortilla gallega, or you can go big and order Sabor’s signature Churrasco de Cordero; Iberian lamb ribs roasted in the famous wood ovens of the region.
The main event, though, is without doubt the whole roast suckling pig, which is one hell of a spectacle and one of the finest eating experiences in the capital. Bring a friend or two for this one!
