Just off Regent Street, in a bustling hive of Spanish activity, Sabor is a model of versatility. On the ground floor is The Counter, now done out in white quartz with comfortable seating facing the chefs in action and a daily changing roster of tapas: from fresh fish on display via scrawled blackboard specials to printed menu placemats offering the likes of pan con tomate, arroz negro, seared tuna with ajo blanco, octopus in mojo rojo, or ‘superb’ tortilla cooked to order. And it’s not just for tapas – they do a handsome steak in chimichurri too. To finish, you might be tempted by goat's cheese ice cream with liquorice sauce, the famed rhubarb tartaleta or a chocolate 'bombas'. Upstairs is El Asador, named after the traditional wood-fired oven on view in the open kitchen, where Galician and Castilian specialities pour forth. Out-of-the-ordinary nibbles include crispy pig ears in quince allioli, worth a flutter with a measure of equally crisp manzanilla. Tortill...

Upstairs is El Asador, named after the traditional wood-fired oven on view in the open kitchen, where Galician and Castilian specialities pour forth. Out-of-the-ordinary nibbles include crispy pig ears in quince allioli, worth a flutter with a measure of equally crisp manzanilla. Tortilla gallega with chorizo and potato makes a good sharer, or there's grilled squid with puntarelle in ink. Meat-eaters are royally served for mains that take in Segovian suckling pig or grilled lamb cutlets with roasted Jerusalem artichokes. A side of spinach with Manchego should complete the picture.

Wherever you choose to eat, the food is matched by a wine list covering the principal regions of Spain; there's a decent slate of cavas too. Also check out La Mesa, a table for 10 that can be used for group bookings, tastings and so on.
