Saba is an award winning Thai and Vietnamese Eatery on Clarendon Street and Baggot Street, Dublin. Tao, is our executive chef in Saba and he brings extensive culinary experience and a distinct passion for traditional Thai and Vietnamese dishes. From the outset, Tao wanted diners to immediately recognise something different in Saba. “Asian restaurants can sometimes compromise authenticity with fusion recipes, while Saba remains true to its Thai and Vietnamese heritage.” Tao’s focus is on fresh, healthy ingredients and rich authentic flavours, but that does not mean that there is not an interesting twist here and there. Working in SABA is like working with one big family.
