Backed by the team behind Duomo Ristorante, Sabòr marks their expansion into Spanish cuisine. The space features a glass-enclosed dining room alongside an open courtyard terrace, designed to shift from relaxed afternoons to energetic evening dinners and sobremesa. 

The menu centers on soulful tapas and robust mains for sharing, with dishes such as Croquetas Spicy Crab, Bikini Sobrasada with Honey and Cheese, Angus Steak with Piquillo Peppers, and Grilled Barramundi with Moho Picón finished over binchotan. Paellas also take center stage, ranging from classic interpretations to richer variations such as Grilled Wagyu Beef and Pork and Scallops. 

The culinary direction is led by Valencian-born Chef-Consultant Javier Vicente Rejas, co-founder of the London Paella School and a familiar presence in Singapore’s Spanish dining scene, including FOC. His approach emphasizes authenticity and technique, with a focus on traditional execution with bold, expressive flavors.

Beyond the kitchen, Sabòralso integrates curated music programming into its dining experience, creating a lively social atmosphere that reflects Spain’s communal dining culture. A dedicated happy hour also runs from 4:30 to 6:30 PM every day. 

Sabòr officially opens on Apr. 1, 2026, at CHIJMES. Book a table through their website, and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for more information and updates. 

Location: 30 Victoria Street, #01-33 CHIJMES, Singapore, 187996
