Sabor CHIJMES is now one of the Spanish dining options to know around City Hall, especially if you want tapas, paella and drinks in a heritage setting rather than a mall restaurant. The restaurant’s official site positions it as Sabòr Cocina Y Tapas, with “authentic Spanish flavours” and a modern social-dining mood inside CHIJMES.
The address is 30 Victoria Street, #01-33, which places Sabor in the familiar CHIJMES courtyard cluster. That makes it useful for after-work dinners, theatre-night meals, birthday groups, visitor hosting and late drinks when you want somewhere central but not quite as formal as a hotel restaurant.
Menu Direction
Sabor’s own menu structure is built around classic tapas, verduras, paellas, grill, desserts, wines and cocktails. The restaurant highlights signature paellas, elevated tapas and grilled dishes, with the idea that food is meant to be shared rather than ordered as a strict starter-main-dessert sequence.
That sharing format is the main reason to go in a group of three or more. Two diners can still enjoy the restaurant, but a larger table gives you more room to compare tapas, split a paella and add a grilled dish without over-ordering.
Drinks are part of the experience. Sabor lists a daily happy hour from 4.30pm to 6.30pm, plus wines, cocktails, beers, spirits and after-dinner drinks. If you are going mainly for drinks and snacks, that early window is worth checking before booking.
When To Visit
Opening hours differ by day. The restaurant lists dinner from 4.30pm to midnight from Monday to Thursday, Friday and Saturday lunch from 12pm to 2.30pm followed by dinner from 5pm to midnight, and Sunday lunch from 12pm to 2.30pm followed by dinner from 5pm to 11pm.
For a relaxed first visit, avoid the peak Friday dinner rush unless you want the full CHIJMES energy. A weekday early dinner gives you more time to ask about dishes, compare drinks and settle into the courtyard mood. A weekend lunch works better for visitors who want the CHIJMES setting without a late night.
