    From The moment we walked in the staff made us feel very welcome. We had a nice table tucked in a corner, served by our favourite, Jeff. He is amazing, attentive without being intrusive. He helped us get advice on Portuguese wine, and surprised us with a yummy dessert! We require gluten free options, Sabor handles that without skipping a beat. We love Sabor, we will be back as soon as we can

    We were served a delicious ginger, cranberry white tea sparking TOST beverage upon arrival. What a nice touch 🥂. We ordered the tofu and the Mediterranean bowls for lunch. Both were well prepared and beautifully served. The tofu was spicy which I enjoy. The Bell is one of the nicest, trendy places for lunch downtown with indoor walkways connecting it to multiple buildings - much appreciated on a cold day in Edmonton.
