Sabrosa in Liverpool

Great to see this lovely small cafe reopened with authentic Spanish cuisine, even if its now more limited to morning and lunchtime. All the food is freshly prepared and home made. The bread and Spanish pasties as well as the sweet treats were all delicious. I would highly recommend popping in!

Ordered a take away to pick up as reviews looked really good and is local to where we live. All the food was very salty so much so we couldn't eat it.Cod and potato fish balls tasted just like potatoes croquettes, very dry. .Home made chips were thin and soggy,ribs,chicken ,paella just tasted of salt . Garlic bread looked as though it had been deep fried and rock hard ,all went into the bin . Phoned and the guy was very apologetic and offered to put money back on my card,which he did.

Edwardo, is always polite, helpful and his food is beautful. Would highly reccomend. Take away food is as beautiful as sitting in.

Friendly super quick service, tapas all delicious and good sized portions. Check out their new menu.

The tapas here are amazing, highly recommend the tortilla and the albondigas ( meat balls ) my husband is Spanish and he loved it, he said it is very authentic and tasty. You could bring your own wine and they will open it for you. Staff were super helpful and very pleasant . 5 stars

I could not recommend this enough. The food is out of this world, the prices are good and the staff are so friendly. We have 2-3 Sabrosa’s a month!

Have been recommended to go here by a few people, due to current pandemic only takeaway Ordered day before & collected at exact time.food was delicious,tasty & plentiful. Service was polite & courteous Thoroughly recommend this restaurAnt & will look forward to visiting here when it’s safe to do so. Thankyou sabrosa will definitely be returning.

Most Tapas places in England have about 40 odd dishes and are not authentic at all. Sabrosa is the real deal. Amazing food.

Excellent service, great food an reasonable price. Ordered takeaway of nearly every dish available and couldn’t fault it! Exceptional, especially the friendly staff member who served me (from safe distance). Whole family enjoyed, would give it 100 stars if I could. Highly recommend:)

We’ve been meaning to try this restaurant for a while but never got there. Decided to order a takeaway of garlic bread and chicken paella for my husband and seafood paella for me. Everything was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend this place. Excellent Spanish food.

I am sorry, but this wasn’t good. We literally threw away the majority. I have lived in Spain for many years and this was nothing like real Spanish food. My recommendation. ... Just don’t waste your money. We

Lovely food, friendly service and great prices. Ticks all the boxes. I have been a regular customer for a couple of years and have never had a bad experience.

Went last night with a friend had 5 dishes between us. Friendly, relaxed place with plenty of choice.. No complaints apart from we had no room for pud! the calamari was delicious and the goats cheese with honey and walnut the best I've tasted. Will have to go again soon.

After such great reviews 6 of is lunched here on Saturday. Here I go; 1. Customer service miserable 2. Crougettes needed a steak knife to cut 3. Lamb skewers just on the warm side of cold 4. Paella very dry 6 Chips soggy 7. Calamari chew 8. Battered aubergine oozing oil. Really dissatisfied, very poor quality of food. Would definitely not recommend

Lovely little restaurant and friendly staff. But the food was very dissapointing. In fact probably one of the worst Tapas we have ever had unfortunately. Really disappointed as it's on our doorstep and was really looking forward to the night as it was a Birthday celebration. Food tasted like it was frozen and very bland! Cold garlic bread! Chicken skewers had a funny taste and tiny little prawns! I could go on and on.. .Won't be going again.

Me hablaron muy bien del restaurante, pero cuando fui me quedé en choc! Tienen dos locales uno en frente del río y este que aparece! En el que aparece huele todo el restaurante a comida y huele fatal, la comida es pésima por no decir horrible las bravas son una porquería no se parece en nada a la comida española que nos caracteriza. Precios muy caros para la comida basura que sirve, son muy lentos a la hora de dar el servicio.Los platos son súper cutres y rancios, la tortilla de patatas es para reírse... asquerosa y seca, no tienen nada de creatividad a la hora de presentar los platos... calamares que parecían plástico, no debería llamarse ni calamares.Teneis superte de poder seguir engañando a vuestros clientes y que no se os quejen... toda esta crítica la hago desde la experiencia como cocinero que soy desde hace 13 años!Porfavor cambiar de cocineros o de jefes de cocina, por que es de risa lo que servís.Si alguien duda de mi criterio que vaya a españa y pidan los platos que tienen en sus cartas!

Returned to what was a great restaurant to find warmed up food, no gas in the kitchen, no soft drinks and no sangria. 6pm on a Friday evening. The waitress was rude and told us everyone liked their food never any complaints. Never will we return

Have visited a few times since it opened, staff are excellent and very helpful. The food is excellent, tasty, cooked perfectly, lots of choice with dishes to suit kids and teens too. This will become a regular with us, full marks.

Great addition to Oxton village. House wine good, food authentic and perfectly delivered. Service with a smile. Fab.

Great food, great variety, great service, great atmosphere, great wine and even better sangria! We visited on a Saturday evening and it was busy... book in advance. Will be returning on my next visit to Liverpool.

Firstly, this is the best tapas we have ever eaten.

First time I’ve been here and I will definitely return. Food was lovely and staff friendly too. Menu isn’t massive but the food is really nice. We shared 9 dishes between 3 of us which was plenty. The baby chorizo and the goats cheese were the highlight of the dishes.

Excellent, authentic, Spanish food. Really small place so nice atmosphere. Can take own alcohol so even better. Will definitely return.

I visited the venue with some friends on Saturday July 13th and we had an excellent time. The food was extraordinary and very tasty. The atmosphere was very nice and pleasant and the service was very good. I sincerely recommend this place for any occasion. Well done guys and keep this excellent standard up. Thanks!

Visited Sabrosa on Wednesday night with another couple. Not the first time we’ve been as it’s only a few minutes walk away from our home. Lovely food and a nice atmosphere. It’s also a plus that you can bring your own booze so not being charged inflated prices. Eduardo is also a very nice guy and is on hand to advise what to have if never visited a tapas restaurant before. I don’t normally leave reviews but if you don’t like a place people are quick to leave a negative review so it’s important to balance with a positive experience. Will definitely be back

Thrilled that this lovely, authentic Spanish restaurant is a few minutes walk from our house. The food is outstanding and the staff is friendly and warm. We will definitely revisit this gem many times over I suspect. It's bring your own alcohol, which is quite nice as well. Can't say enough good about this place. Please visit, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic service, and amazing food. The pork with whiskey sauce was as gorgeous as I remembered. The waitress was really friendly and helpful, she mentioned she had made the apple cake, so we ordered some and it was a lovely end to a great meal. Fantastic value and the fact you can bring tour own wine is a bonus

Thought we would try it as friends thought is was good, it was quite good but as a little disapointed with the food and the ambience

We were curious about all the 5 star ratings of a Spanish restaurant on Hunts Cross Avenue so decided to see what the fuss was all about!

Sadly my friend and I were very disappointed with the tapas served to us. The prawns were tasteless and served in the smallest tapas dish I've ever seen, probably due to it being such a an under-sized portion. Considering the garlic bread cost nearly £4, we were served about 5 slices of un-toasted french stick drizzled in garlic oil. A whole french stick only costs about 50p in the supermarket so how about 5 small slices could have cost us nearly £4 at Sabrosa was outrageous! The battered aubergine slices were well over battered, thick, soggy and greasy which drowned out any taste of aubergine. Our wine was brought to our table whilst the waitress was on the telephone! There was only 1 toilet but it was clean. There was wallpaper peeling off the walls where we were sat. Overall very disappointing for us as locals to the restaurant. We hoped that we'd come across a hidden gem within walking distance from our home.

Friendly atmosphere, staff attentive ..food average and not value for money. Tuna was listed under vegetarian options !

Just stumbled on this place by accident it doesn’t look much, but it’s definitely the best tapas I’ve had outside of Spain Delicious 😋

Absolutely superb. Can't fault it. Food was excellent, staff lovely, attentive but not in your face. A real treat of a place to have in the village...lucky to have it 2 minutes walk away. Very reasonably priced too. The lamb skewers were cooked to perfection....the king prawns were succulent and substantial...not always on the menu was the goats cheese salad, but we asked them to do it anyway and they gladly obliged. Best meal I have had in a while. Going back this week and can't wait. Get yourselves there!

Staff v welcoming and eager for you to have a good evening there. Perhaps a bit pricey but will definitely go again.

so pleased that this fabulous authentic Spanish tapas restaurant has opened on our doorstep it's exactly what oxton village needs. lovely staff, ambience is typically Spainish. the food is absolutely outstanding, the best I have tasted outside of Spain !!! given the significance of today I would not be at all surprised to find rafa Benitez in here raising a glass to the reds.

Just visited the new Sabrosa in Oxton Village and it was excellent. The best Tapas tasted outside of Spain. Good atmosphere and staff were great. Difficult to book if you aren’t local as the website hadn’t been updated with the details of this new restaurant. Call 0151 652 1555

We had heard through word of mouth that this place was a hidden gem and we weren’t disappointed. Tucked away between a few shops and being the only resturant around we had never noticed it before. We had overheard the young waitress that they were fully booked for the night which is always a good sign. There are only 7-9 tables in the resturant itself and it isn’t very big inside, the decor being quite rustic. We were welcomed by a friendly young waitress who was through out the night single handedly waiting on all of the tables on her own, she didn’t stop! Even though this was the case when the resturant was full we didn’t have a wait for any of our food or drinks and were very impressed by the professional service. We were advised to order around 3 plates each. I ordered the Patatas bravas, goats cheese, Serrano ham croquettes, lamb skewers and the pork medallions to share between myself and my partner. We couldn’t actually say which was our favourite dish because we loved all of them. My father in law said the patatas braves was the best he had ever had.

The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the price is brilliant. We took our own wine and paid a small corkage.

We had a lovely tapas meal here. We had to book a table a week in advance which shows how popular this place is. It is a small little place. Only around 8 tables. The waitress was very attentive considering she was waiting on by herself in a busy restaurant. The food was lovely. A nice touch is that you can bring your own wine for a corkage fee of £3. I order wine from the restaurant and when I ordered a second glass the waitress left the bottle which was well received. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Sabrosa is a little gem in south Liverpool close to woolton village. The food is amazing and even though it’s a small Spanish tapas restaurant the atmosphere is so refreshing and cosy. The staff as well as the food is amazing. Can’t wait for our next visit.

A fab little, friendly restaurant which serves very tasty Spanish food. Definite 5 stars from us :-)

It was a busy Saturday night at Sabrosa and the food and service were both excellent! I was with my mum and sister who have been before, but it was my first visit and I was really missing out. We took our own wine but I think they are actually licensed now (?) The two gentlemen who served us were attentive and just lovely. We ordered ten tapas between the three of us which was a bit ambitious considering the generous portions. Everything was delicious but the prawns deserve a special mention and the goats cheese was just on another level entirely! Can’t wait to come back, thanks for a lovely evening!

Have been to Sabrosa many times now and the food is as good always. Not a big menu but the quality and taste is excellent. Had the creme brulee for dessert, best I've ever tasted.

Family visit to Sabrosa and its perfect as it is only a five minute walk from our house

Found this little gem by accident and don't let the appearance or location put you off.

We didn’t expect the quality of food from the appearance of the restaurant. The food was brilliant, very fresh, tasty and authentic. The waiter was very friendly, the wine good and the food even better. Would recommend without hesitation.

Good quality tapas. Great price, friendly staff, Bring your own wine,pay small corkage.We will return. Thank you.

I’d heard about this place from my work colleague. In celebration of surviving half term with our blended family of 5 children we treated ourselves to a cheeky trip out.

Can't believe I live so close to this restaurant and have only just visited for the first time! The food is so fresh and tasty and the staff genuinely friendly. Can't wait to visit again

We visit this place after reading all of this great reviews.The staff is great. They explained everything to us. Price very reasonable for amazing food. A great experience through and through.I totally recommend visiting it!!

Such a well hidden secret in Woolton. It was our first visit this evening. The Tapas were amazing. The wine was lovely. The staff are very friendly. We will definitely be returning next week.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon eating tasty tapas. Choice not huge (which I prefer)but something for everyone. Owner cooked beautiful food and was always keen to please. Would definitely recommend.

A small cosy restaurant off the beaten track. Well worth a visit. Simple but good tapas menu and friendly service. Food was fresh hot and delicious. We shall return!

A voucher from my sister for my husband and I! Absolutely gorgeous night at this hidden gem within walking distance from Halewood. Tapas food at tapas prices. Keep doing what you’re doing guys and we will see you again very soon!!

Another excellent tapas absolutely delicious. We have to book now. Everyone has discovered this little gem. The price of success.We love it

Being a lover of tapas and having read the reviews, thought we would give it a visit. Surroundings are cafe like more than restaurant but this doesn't detract from the visit. Waitress was very pleasant and quick to respond. Only two others present when we entered, but within 20 minutes the place was full. Good sign for a mid week visit. Ordered meatballs, squid, padron peppers, pork with whisky and aubergine with honey. Pork dish could have been warmer but was tasty nevertheless. Alhambra beer was a bonus, rose for the lady. Overall a very pleasant visit and at just over £43 for tapas , 3 beers, and two wines, a enjoyable night on the tapas. Will certainly return.

Visited a few times, food is always delicious with low prices & staff very friendly. Best to book as it’s only a small restaurant

Always like the food here. Good choice of starters, sharing plates and mains. Cocktails available. Easy to park nearby.

Another lovely meal at sabrosa, love this place, just at the top of our road, food authentic and excellent service will be back soon

We are regulars after finding Sabrosa, which in English I have found out translates to delicious, and it truly is. Among my favorite dishes are the seafood paella, chorizo meatballs, and  fried calamari with alioli. Not expensive at all by the way.

From the minute we arrived I loved this restaurant. It is quite small with only a few tables, but a lovely warm friendly welcome. The food was delicious. With tapas there are some dishes that don't quite hit the mark, but every single one was delicious. The staff were fantastic. I had such an amazing evening with my friends here that one even booked our next night out here before we left. So looking forward to it.

This is one of my favourite restaurants to eat at for a straightforward, tasty meal. I have spent time living in Spain and one of the great joys of the country is the food. It's hard to find real, authentic tapas in the UK; but Sabrosa serves exactly this. The food is superb, a real taste of Spain, cooked and served by Spaniards – and all at a very reasonable price. The restaurant is small, so booking is recommended. Service is excellent, and you can BYO bottle or purchase alcohol (Spanish wines and beers) on site.

Hands down the best Spanish food I’ve eaten anywhere outside of Spain, and better than most in Spain too! The food is authentic, fresh and extremely tasty. I couldn’t recommend this place more it also has a fantastic selection of beer and wine and the staff are really friendly. I’ll definitely be back

We were told about this place a few weeks back and booked a table for two.Wow!! the tapas were fantastic and by far the best we have tasted outside of Spain.All the food is fresh and you get great portion sizes.So if you like authentic Spanish tapas, you will not be disappointed if your thinking of booking.Be sure to book first and enjoy.....because we did!

Please never change!! Croquetas :) yummy And pimientos del Padron the best!! Everyhthing here is done with love and passion and its superb!

What a hidden gem, by far the best tapas restaurant we have visited outside of Spain. Delicious authentic tapas, every dish was beautifully cooked and so tasty. Wine is also very good and not expensive. The owner is so welcoming and friendly and very passionate about the food he serves. It’s only a small restaurant so make sure you book.

So glad we found this fantastic place. Very small so be sure to book. You won't be disappointed. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. Absolutely delicious Spanish tapas. All the classic dishes well prepared and very tasty. Amazing goats cheese with honey. Simply divine. I'd also recommend the calamari andalusian style. The wine list was brilliant. He brought over two bottles of red and asked which one we'd like!! Only £16 a bottle for a lovely rioja! I think it's also BYO.

Just been here for the first time. This little local restaurant is an absolute gem! All the tapas was beautiful, garlic prawns, goats cheese with honey and walnuts, chorizo meatballs and the tastiest lamb pinxtos!! Great wines. Everything was lovely. Eduardo the owner is so friendly and passionate about his place. Prices are very reasonable and will be back very soon.

Great evening with friends at this small Spanish restaurant. Lovely, authentic food at reasonable cost. Friendly service. Spanish wine and lager were available again at a reasonable price and you can also bring your own wine. First time for all of us that we have eaten here in the evening but sure it won't be the last.

We were out for a family birthday and had decided to choose somewhere that would do tapas as some of the party had traveled widely and recently in Spain. We were not disappointed. This is a small establishment, 16 covers, the food was fresh, beautifully presented and hugely tasty. As there were four in our party we managed to choose most of the tapas dishes on offer - we were spoiled for choice. The service was considerate and the sequencing of the arrival of the dishes was excellent. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Great welcome to this lovely cosy restaurant and good friends by the time we left for home. The food was nothing short of amazing - we spend several months in Spain every year and have eaten in many tapas places back home in Leeds but this was the best ever. Absolutely delicious. The Patata Bravas and dipping breads were fabulous plus nine more tapas and every one the best ever. I would recommend this authentic Spanish restaurant to anyone - couple's, families, friends and parties.

Lovely little restaurant with 2 great hosts a smashing couple who work as a team to help there staff deliver a great service. We arrived early not a problem and we didn’t like our table for two position which again was not a problem for the host. We were given help to choose from the menu and the food was fabulous as was the service . Great food respectable price and super service with a smile x Steve & Andrea

Have visited this restaurant many times. It is our 'go to' place to eat out. Fantastic food and great service!

Booked table and was really glad we did .Food was outstanding especially the goat's cheese special with honey!.Lovely little place that will be booked again .

Just returned from a lovely evening at Sabrosa, the owner Edwardo is so passionate about his restaurant and this is reflected in his food and service, if tapas is your thing you need to give this a try, all food freshly prepared from order. You can even bring your own drink with a corking fee of £3.00 or purchase one of the reasonably priced drinks available as he now holds a licence..

Just found the best ever tapas restaurant at the top of our road!! If you like authentic Spanish tapas then a visit to Sabrosa on Hunts Cross Ave is highly recommend!! Lovely atmosphere, brilliant service and the food is the best tapas I’ve had. Fabulous and friendly welcome from Eduardo who explained the menu. The most expensive bottle of wine on the menu is only £15 and bottles of Spanish lager £2.75. Think we’ll be going again soon

Absolutely delish. The taste is still bouncing around in my.moth. Eduardo is sooo nice and the food is wonderful. Everyone should taste a bit of Sabrosa, It really is a slice of Spain in Huntscross Avenue.

Visited this quaint tapas yesterday and was amazed at the quality of food and service! Every dish from the Patatas bravas, to the calamari was delicious! The homemade sangria was also a special treat! This small converted cafe isn’t extravagant but the food and service is second to none! Cannot wait to return. Thank you Eduardo for the brilliant service!

Tried this restaurant with friends, very impressed with the food and service. They have Spanish wine and bottled beer. Again very nice. A big bonus is its not too pricey

Wow! Muy bien! This tapas restaurant is a hidden gem in Liverpool. The authentic Spanish food is delicious and Eduardo, the host, is attentive and informative. We will definitely be recommending this lovely place to friends and family. Muchas Gracias!

Super little restaurant in a row of shops on Hunts Cross Ave. The owner, Eduardo is a lovely guy, friendly and welcoming. You can trust his advice and he doesn't try to sell you more than you need. The patatas bravas are sublime, the best I've ever tasted, full of smokey umami flavours. Likewise the paella and croquetas. The food coming out of this kitchen is absolutely delicious. It's a small restaurant so best to book your table. Eduardo now has a DRINKS LICENCE,so no longer byo. Takeaway food available.

Love this little place, all the food is authentic and the staff make you feel very welcome. Would highly recommend this tapas restaurant looking forward to my next visit. Price very reasonable as well :-)

This place provided one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. Authentic food, and friendly passionate staff.

Located in a small row of shops on Hunts Cross Ave (not obvious at first glance!). The blinds are down in this hot weather to keep the place cool - so dont be fooled into thinking theyre shut. Small and basic inside but hey! its the food that counts...and boy does it count! Excellent tapas menu, reasonably priced, cooked to perfection. Friendly helpfull owner on hand to advise! Not licensed so bring your own drinks, although license has been applied for. We had 7 dishes between us (2 of us) which was perfect. Hard to pick a favourite as they were all excellent...that says it all! IMO the most authentic paella outside Spain. 4 stars as basic decor may not suit all. Looked to be room for about 22. Open half 5 to 10pm. We'll be returning. Recommended

With a group of friends I spent a fabulous probably one of the best ever evenings in this tiny gem of a Spanish tapas bar/restaurant tucked away in South Liverpool , so where do I start ... It was an evening as warm as Spain itself, and upon arriving I thought this is just a spanish cafe in a row of shops ...

A tiny place (it sits around 25) the food is exceptional and at a fair price.

This is in a parade of shops close to our house, not the most obvious spot for a restaurant so we didn't think it would be up to much - we were wrong. Visited on Father's Day and had a fab, relaxed tapas meal with the added bonus of taking our favourite wines as it's bring-your-own. We had 9 dishes between 3 and it was all tasty; our favourites were the garlic prawns, mini paella, the bread/dips and the patatas bravas (I don't normally bother with these but, as other reviewers have said, they are yummy). We will go back soon and my husband is looking forward to trying the morcilla as it was off the menu when we went.

Our first visit on Fri 22nd. Host apologised because he had a waitress and a chef off sick, uh oh we thought....needlessly. Attentive and still relatively quick service, and the food is delicious. Fresh, delicious, authentic Spanish tapas. It’s a basic and simple small cafe/restaurant. Very basic tables and chairs, not much decoration but the bring your own and the lovely food more than make up for it. The attentive host helped to ensure we will definitely be back again.

We had a really lovely meal at Sabrosa, great atmosphere and fab food! Even better was the fact it was half price on the night we went there. Lovely staff , young lady who served us Libby was very attentive and helped us to chose how many tapas to have! Over all a lovely evening will definitely go back and recommend to our friends.

This place is not to be missed. Authentic Spanish tapas in a hidden location. The environment is basic, but everything else is spot on. Warm and welcoming owner enthusiastically talked us through the menu. The quality and value were both incredible.

I really enjoy eating at Sabrosa. Having visited four times, three of which were sitting in, I have yet to be disappointed by any aspect of either food or service. Truly outstanding and well worth a visit. Tapas menu is varied and food is fresh. Highly recommended.

Food was cool and the service excellent. We both enjoyed the Tapas options and the waiter rocked. Bring your own really lowers the price so very economical.

Support this local restaurant! Great food - authentic but local Spanish tapas. All the favourit classic plates and you can take your own drink too.

Love our local tapas! Eduardo creates fabulous tapas and fabulous atmosphere, so friendly and welcoming and the food is authentic, super tasty and very reasonable.

Great atmosphere, brilliant authentic tapas, very well priced and proper portions. The ability to take your own booze it an advantage.

Saborosa is lovely friendly and authentic Valencia’s tapas....Eduardo and Alex are welcoming and friendly .......from a regular xxxx June

Our neighbours recommended a visit to this small local Spanish restaurant near to Woolton village at the bottom of Manor Road. It is a family run business which specialises in tapas made from freshly sourced meat,fish,and vegetables. An added bonus is that you can take your own alcoholic drinks so this reduces the overall cost of your night out. Excellent service and value for money.

Had some lovely tapas, quaint little restaurant, very authentic, and being able to take your own wine is a big bonus, definitely going back its just around the corner, perfect

Read the reviews so popped along to try. Empty on arrival but greeted by a friendly waiter called Alex. He recommended the amount of tapas we should have which was 6 between us. Food was fab with decent size portions. They don t serve alcohol but you can take your own. Really nice and will be back. Started to fill up with people who had booked so it must get busy. Good value for money too.

Little gem. This place tastes as though it’s genuinely authentic, and straight out of Murcia or Valencia. . Excellent food and great staff. Take your own alcohol.
