SABOR Restaurant provides a rustic yet elegant atmosphere and a menu rich in European tradition—Portuguese, Spanish, French & Italian—in the heart of Downtown and the ICE District.

Professional staff, a trim but superlative wine list, hand-crafted cocktails, and SABOR’s menu & atmosphere make it the perfect spot—be it in evening wear before the opera, a suit before the big meeting, or in jeans hanging out with friends.

Loved the ambience. Food was delicious. Service was great. Wish there was more vegan options. Surprised there wasn’t bread at the table and charged $10 and it was over toasted.

Great food. I had the beef lasagna and my wife had the carne pizza. We started with a prawn and calamari dish. Spent about $112 for the both of us with a 20% tip. The server, Aaron, was very efficient. Didn’t feel like we were waiting for anything. I’d definitely go back.
