Sabor Restaurant
Our Restaurant and Bar opened in Islington, London in 2004, serving Nuevo Latino cuisine – fresh, delectable South American food with a fusion touch. It went on to earn numerous accolades and a regular clientele who returned for the changing menu of South American specialities.
The restaurant at 108 Essex Road closed in 2012 after eight and a half years. However, keep an eye on this website whilst we work on new ways of bringing excellent South American food, drink and hospitality to you. You can still contact us at info@sabor.co.uk.
