The Restaurants

Sabor

Founded by Nieves Barragan, Sabor (meaning flavour in Spanish) takes you on a journey from the tapas bars of Andalucía, through to the asadors of Castile and the seafood restaurants of Galicia. Sabor focuses on capturing the flavour of Spain as well as showcasing the use of traditional ingredients and cooking methods, and a relaxed approach to dining.

The quality of the produce our kitchen enjoys is unparalleled. Upstairs in the Asador, whole suckling pigs are cooked in the wood-fired oven, and octopus are simmered in giant copper pots. Downstairs in the restaurant, a seafood counter sits next to dining bar, where guests can oversee the kitchen in full service.

Sabor was awarded a coveted Michelin Star in 2018

Legado

Legado opened its doors in August 2025 in the heart of Shoreditch, with a clear purpose: to celebrate the breadth and depth of Spain’s regional cooking. A sister restaurant to Sabor, Legado builds on that foundation while carving out its own identity - exploring lesser-known dishes and traditions from across Spain, guided by seasonality, whole-animal butchery and a deep respect for craft and provenance.

From the Taberna - Legado’s tapas and pintxos bar - to the main dining room, the restaurant is defined by thoughtful cooking, precise technique and warm, considered hospitality.

Legado reflects a lifetime of experience rooted in Spanish culinary heritage. Nieves’ cooking is shaped by memory, travel and a commitment to honouring the stories of each region.

Just seven months after opening, Legado was awarded a Michelin Star - a testament to the dedication, talent and collective ambition of the team.
