What motivated Hungarian chef Attila Vanko and his wife Viki to move to England and open a Spanish tapas bar may remain a mystery, but the result of their efforts is the fun and vibrant El Sabio restaurant in Winchester’s Eastgate Street. Always filled with animated diners, this family-run restaurant has live salsa nights on the first Thursday of every month, and the former Mash Tun pub has been successfully converted into a bright and rustic Spanish-themed escape from the hustle and bustle. We love El Sabio’s orange walls, wooden floors, blackboard menus and potted palms, and the space is suitable for events and business dining as well as nights out with friends and family.
