This is a fantastic restaurant right in the downtown area of the city! Great tapas-style dishes, and a fun and fairly casual vibe. The dishes are great to share. I was in a group of 7 and we were able to get a reservation one week ahead which was great (it was a Monday). I wish I had photos of the food but we started eating everything as soon as it got served! A few standouts were the caprese salad, the octopus, the paella, and the pastas! read more

The service was incredible! I have never had this kind of service. Our waiter went over and beyond. A great ambience with a variety of different areas to enjoy your meal. We choose the Come Dine With We did the family style menu where you get to sample a variety of dishes. I highly recommend doing that! Shout out to Cory, Chef Lino and Skippy for an amazing dining experience! read more

Went for our anniversary dinner. It is beautiful and simplistic. Nice atmosphere to dine in. Lots of wood and clean colours. Our server was fantastic. She was prompt and friendly and knowlegeable. We both got some cocktails. They were refreshing however expensive. I wasn't going to order it but it was our anniversary after all. We decided on the Seafood Platter - two 5oz lobster tails, fresh scallops, piri piri prawns, fried calamari, mussels and clams & lobster risotto. Everything was fresh and delicous. The lobster tails were perfectly cook and extremely flavourful and sweet. The scallops were delicately cooked and delicious. The piri piri prawns are spicy and delicous. Mussles and clams were in a beautiful broth. Lobster risotto was fine but matbe our least favourite dish. This is the one we took home. To finish we hat the port cherry cheesecake which is delightful as ususal. read more

We brought my brother and sister in law here on a Friday night to cherish them and to celebrate with them. It was a big success! We made reservations in advance and the restaurant accommodated our being 15 minutes late. The restaurant was very busy and bustling. It had a nice cozy, warming atmosphere. Most people were a little dressed up so you definitely get the sense you're out somewhere a little nicer. We ordered various appetizers and two entrees to share between the four of us. Everything was good but the bruschetta and the mixed paella stood out. We ordered a couple bottles of wine too - one wasn't great but the other was fantastic. I will definitely visit Sabor again. We've been to their sister restaurant Bodega as well. The quality of food at both restaurants is exceptionally high. I highly recommend Sabor if you're looking for somewhere with a classy atmosphere and ambiance as well as quality, tasty food. read more

A small group of us had dinner at Sabor last night. If I could give it a 6 out of 5 I would! Between the breads, the tomato and burrata salad, the lobster risotto, the gnocchi (best I have had in years), the garlic prawns and the scallops.....absolute perfection. Our server Pamela was amazing and recommended the perfect wine and dessert options as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Everything was cooked to perfection, the flavours were amazing. I am in prep for a bodybuilding competition and the waitress was very accommodating to my special meal requests. The mushrooms are a must for any side dish. My boyfriend really enjoyed the pasta, he said the best noodles he has had. The flavour of the lobster and shrimp paired very nicely with the sauce read more

Best seafood dishes!!! Friendly service. Love the piano player on weekends. Classy but casual. I enjoy sabor divino. Dined here by myself, with a significant other, as a large group and every time service is fantastic. Service is quite exceptional. Paced perfectly but not rushed with the privacy to hold a good conversation without being rudely interupted. I prefer the fish dishes as they are seasoned perfectly and are so fresh. The accompaniments are always perfect and have so much flavour. Its definitly farm to table like quality. The steak is great too but I find with large groups the steak is kinda inconsistent. some pieces drastically overcooked and some rare. But when ordered individually they are always perfect. I love how the desserts come in taster sizes too. I find the meals are large but I could never finish an entire dessert so the taster size is just right. I especially fancy the passionfruit cheesecake or the creme brulee. Both are outstanding. If you want to try this place out without breaking the bank...lunch specials are awesome. My fave is the Lobster risotto with black cod!!! Most specials are $21 and come with a choice of soup or salad. The specials change daily and are posted on their website. It sells out quick so best to get there before 1230. read more

Sabor has been around for a long time (since 2008) and has generally solidified itself as the best (and only?) name in Spanish, Portuguese and Mediterranean cuisine in Edmonton. If you're craving this type of food, this is where you go. And Sabor knows how to give it to you good. In fact, their name means "flavour" in Portuguese. VUE Weekly voted Sabor #1 Best Portuguese 2018 and the Edmonton Journal names them repeatedly; Best Seafood Restaurant 2020, Best Fine Dining 2021 and Best Seafood Restaurant 2021. Known for their seafood, Sabor will take you on an Iberian coastal journey that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Located in the heart of Downtown (difficult parking is the only problem) on the boardwalk block known for its restaurants, the space itself is massive in size. They're so big that they were even able to turn their lower street-facing area into a secondary restaurant called Bodega that serves much of the same food as the main restaurant but in a more casual and laid-back environment. Meanwhile, Sabor itself is presented as a high-end fine dining experience and you can feel it from the moment that you walk though the door. The building is full of history, one of those places that doesn't need to pretend to be old because it actually is. Huge wooden pillars support the towering ceiling above, while the exposed brick feels like it can tell a story. The rest of the decor is simple because the building itself does so much on its own. Tasteful chandeliers hang throughout and the restaurant is known for its live music atmosphere. (Unfortunately I did not get to experience this as my visit was on a Tuesday evening, when they don't feature live music.) The space does a surprisingly good job of transporting you away to somewhere that feels quite a bit more like Europe. I had made a reservation but because my visit occurred in the middle of the week the restaurant didn't get too busy (although for a Tuesday night they still filled most tables). Seated at a cozy table for two in the vast dining room, there was never a shortage of things to see and surroundings to take in. Our server was an expert at his craft and made sure that we were always well looked after. Starting with the beverage menu I knew that I wanted to drink cava (a Spanish sparkling wine). At first I assumed that I would simply order a glass but why stop there? There were options for cocktails made with cava, including a Cava Sangria (Sparkling wine, brandy, triple sec, juices - $14.00 for a glass) which sounded like the most ideal summer beverage. They've taken the classic Spanish wine cocktail of sangria and have somehow made it even more Spanish by making it with cava. Perfecto! Refreshing and just sweet enough, this sangria was easy to drink and complimented the meal well. I liked the orange slice and green grapes floating within. Sabor also offers two other types of sangria and I should probably try them all. The menu at Sabor is very large and there are many options and types of food journeys that can be taken. Maybe you want drinks and tapas. Maybe you want a family style meal or Sabor's special three course seafood family dinner (I'm totally going to try this next time!). Or maybe you want to create your own perfect feast like I did. The ability to tailor your dining experience to your exact mood is easily achieved at Sabor. For me, I was looking for nostalgia. I have been to Spain and Portugal once each, respectively. As such, my goal was to locate some of the dishes that I'd loved the most on my travels and to taste those delicious flavours once again. We began by building an appetizer round reminiscent of our time in Barcelona. I was very pleased to find Jamon Iberico de Bellota ($32.00) on the menu, because it wouldn't be Spanish food without Iberico. It's expensive but deliciously worthwhile to treat yourself to some of the best ham in the world. Building on this, it made sense to select the world's most famous Spanish cheese; Manchego ($9.00). Both of the aforementioned items are served with bread. To accompany the bread I had to try the Chicken and Smoked Duck Pâté ($5.50). And lastly, from the Tapas section I selected the Grilled Sardine Fillets ($12.00). It was such a delight to luxuriate over a beautiful spread of foods. I excitedly got into the Iberico ham, made from 36+ months of aged black Iberian pork. The thin slices melted in my mouth and I loved the salty cured orchestra of flavours. The quality of this meat is so high, and while it didn't taste as fresh as when it is shaved directly off of the leg in front of you, this exclusive ham experience was very special. It's the best. (And not so readily available in Edmonton). The Manchego, a 12 month aged hard sheep milk cheese, is a classic. Just tender enough, this buttery cheese boasts a subtle sweet and fruity flavour. It went well with everything and was a great way to round out the appetizer course. I was super pleased with the addition of the pâté, ultra read more

Well how can I start. This place was absolutely amazing. The food was so good and so fast and fresh, we went there for my girlfriend birthday and to start they gave her a nice birthday card, the service was amazing and very quick. They pared us with a nice wine as we got the 3 course meal from the chef which as amazing. The seafood was so good and so fresh and the desserts were amazing! I hope to go back there again and enjoy this again read more

Every time they never fail to blow my mind away! I've had several work Christmas parties here in the private dining room at the back and have recently dropped in as a regular customer, and both times the quality of the service and the FOOD (especially the food) never cease to amaze me! The interior décor is delightful and slightly reminiscent of its Portuguese/Spanish origins with its gorgeous stained wooden tables, red brick walls, dim mood lighting, and close seating arrangements. Plus lots of cool plaques and designations as a top tier restaurant! I don't know where to start regarding the food - just flippin amazing! The quality and freshness of the ingredients and incredible cooking methods made these smaller portions even more delightful and delectable! Everything was cooked, seasoned and presented to perfection :D The virgin Sangria with passonfruit was refreshing, the meat & cheese on the crispy toasted baguette was savory-luscious, and the butternut squash soup was divine! I found taking my time really gave me the chance to savor and enjoy every bite, and contemplate the beautiful mix of flavors :P And lastly the customer service was great- being greeted at the door, helping me find my friend in the restaurant, great suggestions for drinks and menu items, very personable and delightful to be served :) I'm going back for more! (need to try me some seafood) read more

The hubs and I decided to go here for our wedding anniversary and this restaurant is well suited for the occasion. We reserved seating in advanced because my husband said it books up quickly. It's dim, intimate and classy. There was even a musician playing that evening. There's also a private dining area for larger group reservations too. Food-wise there's a decent selection & includes a couple local sourced options with cheeses. Lobster risotto seems to be the fan fave here. We ordered a 3 boars meal and lobster risotto, and a cheese & bread platter to start. It was quite delicious but a lot of food, which made it good for sharing and we did pack leftovers as did many other patrons here. So I definitely feel like my meal was worth it. Service was polite & attentive, and the pace here is unhurried which is a nice atmosphere for chatting...perfect for a date night. read more

We came out for a bachelorette party dinner, and while the food was very tasty, it was a little expensive. Cocktails were also very expensive, but I also realize that this restaurant is more upscale than your average Italian restaurant. All of our food was delicious and cooked very well, but it did take quite a long time to get everything to our table. Overall we had a lovely dinner and a nice experience. read more

2 words: Grilled Octopus. WOW, would come back anytime for that dish! Catch of the day with the lobster risotto was also a top dish for us, large portion sizes enough that 2 can share. Service was excellent and food came out hot and fresh! The whole vibe of the place is very upscale borderline dinner club which is great because Edmonton does not have many of these. Our server, Rebecca was amazing! She was so soft spoken and efficient! Only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 is because we had the cod fritters and empanadas for starters and they were subpar compared to the mains. For the price, this place is well worth it. One of the best, if not the best, lobster tail in the city! read more

Always excellent. Simply superb service and excellent quality. Never a bad experience.

Our first time at Sabor, decided to come here for a romantic valentines lunch on Feb 14. We had a reservation, and we were contacted day of that we wouldn't have the best seating because they'd be setting up for Valentines dinner. Since we had nothing to compare it to, this seemed fine with us. I have to say the ambience was slightly ruined due to all the running around going on during our lunch. Tables were being hauled, chairs dragged, things dropped as they were moving stuff into what looked like a private room of the restaurant. This was all distracting and took away from the experience. I would suggest a restaurant do this outside of business hours if there's really that much set up they have to do, that it disrupts customers. A little is okay; but this was too much. The service was good. The hostess seemed a little grumpy but she was helpful anyways. (Came back and wiped our table between the mussels and the main entrees). Our waitress was very very nice. She was attentive but didn't bother us too often. The food was very flavourful. The boyfriend and I both opted for items off the daily features. We got mussels to start as well. The food came out quickly; we didn't have to wait long at all. I've heard very good things about Sabor and while we hoped this would be a romantic lunch, it seemed like people who cane for dinner would be the ones who got the nice ambience I've read and heard about... so that was a little bit disappointing. Maybe another time. read more

I love the seafood paella. It is a bit busy on some days so it's better to book your visit

Fantastic food in a beautiful room with great, friendly service. Value for high quality food.

Everything we eat at this restaurant tasted amazing! We came with a party of nine and this was our first meal in Edmonton, Canada. When we sat down we didn't have to wait too long, as it was a Thursday night. We arrived for dinner, and were seated at a table in the back. The restaurant is a lot larger than it might seem from the front. When we sat down the staff introduced the menu to us and give us an introduction on what type of food was served at the restaurant and what specials they currently had. With a large party of nine our staff member did really great and helped us all throughout the night. To begin we ordered many appetizers from the calamari, to the pate, to the truffle butter, to the shrimp as well. All of which are super tasty. Then we each ordered some entrées to have such as the mussels and the paella and the risotto. You ordered a few other things as well. All the food was very flavorful and super tasty. I would highly recommend giving this place a try as well as trying it all of the things on the menu. Additionally we got a bottle of wine to share. read more

I was in Edmonton for a work-related matter, and I brought my wife along because it was our anniversary. I had eaten at Sabor on a previous visit, and was very impressed, so I thought my wife might enjoy it as well. I hate it when a restaurant isn't as good the second time you go. Well, no worries in that regard - it was fantastic! Right off the bat, we received a warm welcome when we walked through the door. We were promptly ushered to our table, and the lovely and talented Kim took over as our server. She was great - attentive, but not intrusive, and she really knew her stuff, recommending a nice glass of wine to have with my dinner. We had a couple of cocktails, and started with garlic shrimp and the Portuguese baguette with truffle butter and black olive tapenade. Outstanding! For our mains, I had the three boars - wild boar cheeks, pork belly, and loin, served with mushroom risotto. The cheeks were so tender - I cut them with my fork. My wife had the 10 ounce rib eye cap steak, with asparagus and fries with garlic aioli. The steak was cooked perfectly, and came with a nice chimichurri sauce. The only minor complaint - she found it a bit underseasoned. For dessert, we had the pastel de nata - a Portuguese custard tart. OMFG! Amazing! Crispy chewy pastry, filled with lovely custard, topped with cinnamon. These alone are reason enough to come back again and again. Great food, great service - what else can you ask for. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Edmonton. read more

Calamari to die for! Short notice reservations. Great wine list. Competent, friendly staff. The ambiance is nice. Sometimes there is a guitar player. My stepfather is Portuguese, so I'm a huge fan of Bacalhau à Brás . Cod with potatoes, onions and lots of garlic. Their grilled shrimp is a family favorite. The paella is served non- traditional. Kind of deconstructed. Not great. There is a dish for everyone. Park in the parkade across the street us $5.00. If there is an event at Rogers, they will try to change double. Just say you are not there for the event. read more

We've been to Sabor three times now and although the first time was lacklustre with service, we've had the same server these last two and I have nothing but positive things to say.

The food is top notch and speaks for itself but I really remember service and will recommend Sabor to anyone. read more

I am actually surprised that I haven't written a review for Sabor yet. I come here a few times a month at least because it is one of my favourite restaurants in Edmonton. It gets a 5/5 stars for me because the food is out of this world. I have a few issues (end of review) but not enough to lower my rating. The begin with, the decor is fabulous. I've always loved the upper section where Sabor is. Its stunning and the space is beautifully lit. Even their menu is visually appealing. In terms of food, there is not much on the menu that I don't like. I think my favourite dishes are the Veg Paella and the Piri Piri Prawns - both are definitely to die for. Their seafood choices are also delicious. Honestly, everything on the menu is delicious. There isn't anything that is unappealing. Food comes out quickly as well - you're never waiting too long. I've also come here for my birthday, my friend's birthdays, my partner's birthdays, my parent's birthdays etc. Everyone I know has their birthday here and they always hook you up with cake. Which is awesome! Service is usually really good, but it is completely dependent on who you get. There have been a few times now that I've had to wait for strangely long periods of time for things like drink orders/acknowledgement, debit machines, drink menus etc. Then you have to awkwardly flag down whoever you can which is definitely an exercise in assertiveness. Lastly, there is too much ice in the Negroni and the Old Fashioned for my taste. Wine menu is great - you can tell they've really spent a lot of time looking to offer you the best wine selection. Even the lower end house wines are good if you're looking to go by the glass instead of bottle. One of my favourite bottles that we've gotten was the Baron de ley Gran Reserva (if I remember correctly), which was a very nice wine. Otherwise I will continue to bring people here as often as possible. Love this place! read more

I'm so glad we checked this place out! I have followed them on Instagram for a while now. The outside seems on the smaller side of things but when you walk in it's dark, romantic, and spacious. We ended up doing the family meal with the three starters of peri-peri prawns, scallops, and mussels. They were amazing. The prawns were by far my favourite. We also ordered extra of the breads which were phenomenal. For dinner we had the lobster risotto with halibut and salmon. Which was unbelievable. This is one of our new fav places. Can't wait to go back. read more

Was here quite a few years ago, but most recently for Downtown Dining Week, and the food was just as good as I remembered. I was pleasantly surprised to see such large portion sizes for the promotional menu. The piri piri prawns were flavorful and cooked just right where they were still moist and juicy. The paella was chock full of large chunks of meat and seafood. I was so ridiculously full afterwards, it was definitely a good valued meal. Although our server was quite attentive, I felt like they could have had more staff. We had to wait for our water to be refilled, for our bill to come, and finally, to pay our bill, while each time our server was busy running around serving other tables. I enjoyed having a live pianist playing in the restaurant; it added a touch of sophistication to the night. Since it's located right in the heart of downtown, there is no free parking. You'll have to park on the street, or across from Sabor in the mall parkade. read more
