Moro restaurant in London’s Exmouth Market may retain its reputation as one of the hippest restaurants in one of the hippest parts of the capital, but this Clerkenwell restaurant still focuses more on good food than its own image. Moro’s décor with its polished wooden floors, long zinc bar, open view to the kitchen and its charcoal grill and wood-burning oven, is functional and welcoming. Cuisine of the southern Mediterranean, from the Iberian Peninsula into Northern Africa, is the menu’s exclusive province.

    One of the best meals I have had in London and certainly the most fun. The food was outstanding but the real winner was the atmosphere - cosy and intimate whilst also lively and entertaining. London dining at its absolute best

    The food is amazing. A subtle blend of herbs and spices. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. The rose water and cardamon ice cream is the best. Outstanding list of sherry to drink before the meal or to go with each course. Relaxes atmosphere. Best place in London to eat Spanish Moroccan food with a special twist.

    Unique A fantastic experience from start to finish The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday lunchtime on one of the hottest days of the year. Could end the review right there …. We’d travelled from Brighton and Burton on Trent to visit and weren’t disappointed 😀 The menu was really interesting (as per reputation) and all the dishes we ordered were delicious. The service from the staff though really is a stand out also. They clearly believe in this restaurant and were very knowledgeable and passionate about the menu (which is ever changing) and the wines on offer. They were also very warm and welcoming; the epitome of hospitality. Highly recommended

    I cannot recommend this place enough. Food was absolutely brilliant, friendly welcoming staff that provided faultless service and along with drinks offered cannot wait to return. The steak we had was a 800g bone-in sirloin to share and I can’t remember the last time I had a steak that good and it was cooked to perfection. Go along if you get the chance.
