About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
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.

    Starters were delicious but the main courses were very bland. We expected more for the £38 per dish. Wine was nice, service was good and dining Al fresco is always a treat. But the food was really disappointing.

    Fish was far too salty. Didnt want to send back as a birthday meal so would have spoiled the ambience. Not asked once whether everything was OK.

    I was a little underwhelmed to be honest- the starters were both interesting and excellent, but my main (pork belly) was a bit run of the mill. I had high expectations of Moro from its repuration (I don't live in London and hadn't been before) but while the food was tasty enough it didn't seem to have the Spanish flair that built Moro's reputation. It was just a good bistro style meal for about £75/head incl some drinks which in London isn't too bad. Staff were lovely though and the bread and olive oil were magnificent, so maybe I was just unlucky in my choice of main course.

    I haven’t been back to Moro since 2005 and was delighted that the food and vibe was still as good as I remembered. Lovely

    We visited at the hotest and longest day of the year, sat outside in the buzzy Exmouth Market and had the AMAZING food Moro had on offer with some great service.

    The food was excellent, which has been our experience on previous visits as well. Menu changes in line with seasons. The ambience was great, and there was a good buzz of conversation but not noisy. There is plenty of choice on the wine list, though I feel the red wines are slightly over-priced. Service was the one disappointment. It was functional but no warmth or pleasantries. We didn't experience any real welcome, no recommendations. Just the absolute basics. In our view, for what we were paying, we wanted to feel more of an overall experience, and the rapport and sharing of information with the waitress should be part of that. We certainly weren't made to feel that our custom was appreciated.
