Sabor

Sabor, on Heddon Street in Mayfair, is chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho and José Etura's Michelin-starred celebration of regional Spanish cooking, split across distinct spaces within the same building. The ground-floor bar and counter serve tapas on a walk-in basis, while the upstairs Asador restaurant takes reservations for a more formal menu centred on whole wood-roasted meats, most notably a whole suckling pig cooked in a wood-burning oven that must be pre-ordered ahead of the visit. Dishes such as Galician octopus with paprika and potato and Iberian ham croquetas showcase the kitchen's grounding in Spanish regional traditions, executed with the technical precision that earned the restaurant its Michelin star. The atmosphere shifts noticeably between floors: the ground-floor bar is lively, loud, and informal, built around counter seating and quick tapas orders, while the Asador upstairs is calmer and more considered, suited to a longer, reservation-based meal. The wine list leans heavily into Spanish regions — Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and sherry — with a by-the-glass programme that supports both the casual bar menu and the more structured Asador offering. À la carte pricing runs £40–£60 per person downstairs, rising for the whole suckling pig experience upstairs at roughly £55 per person. The Heddon Street location sits just off Regent Street, making Sabor an easy stop for a Mayfair evening out, whether a quick counter meal or a full reserved dinner. Because the suckling pig requires advance ordering, diners planning to try it should confirm this when booking rather than expecting it to be available on arrival.
