"Nothing says you’re ready for a bit of interpretative dance than a meal of things like grilled squid, lamb fattee (a delicious mound of rice, chickpeas, aubergine, and sauces), and a trifle to finish off. It’s a good thing you’re watching, rather than performing, said dance. Get all of this plus an excellent atmosphere at Moro, a North African-Spanish spot on Exmouth Market." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Full of customers and full of life, with service that is engaging and on-the-ball, Moro remains as popular as ever and is the perfect fit for the increasingly busy Exmouth Market. The Moorish menu is full of interesting, flavour-packed dishes, but the wood-roasted options are the ones to go for. The open kitchen adds to the atmosphere of the animated room, and their next-door tapas bar, Morito, is also worth visiting." - Michelin Inspector
"Moro was one of the first to make using seasonal produce a thing nearly 20 years back, and still today, their regularly changing menu will take you on a mini adventure, combining local meats—like roasted pork belly—with some of the great spices and flavours they encountered on their travels. The Spanish/Moroccan restaurant is on Exmouth Market and feels like you’re at a sophisticated dinner party with your mates—the mates who can name a couple of regions in Italy where wine is grown. Come to Moro with those people." - sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"There are times in life when a decision is beyond you. When you can say yes to going to the pub but there is no way you can decide what to drink. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re hungover. Maybe you’re just incapable of making decisions. In those times you should head to Moro. It’s a classic London establishment where pretty much everything is guaranteed to be tasty. The restaurant’s Mediterranean influence means that pretty much everything is paired with delicious dressed vegetables of some kind, and there’s lots of charcoal grilling or wood roasting as well. If you like good food, it’s hard to go wrong." - jake missing
"If your team is brimming with worldly, highly cultured, and generally overachieving individuals, consider booking your next team dinner at Moro. This restaurant was inspired by the chef’s travels around Spain and North Africa, and you can think of it as a grown-up restaurant for grown-up people, but without being stuffy in the slightest. It’s an excellent setting for discussing why every other department is worse than yours." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, eileen twum, rianne shlebak
