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.

Moro offers a delightful dining experience with a fusion of Spanish and Moroccan flavors. Guests rave about the "fantastic food and service," with standout dishes like the lamb and sea bass. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a pre-Sadlers Wells meal. While some find it "pricey," the quality and unique flavors make it a "highly recommended" destination for special occasions.

Second visit within one month and did not disappoint
Excellent selection of dishes, all flavoursome and well presented
We ate late (10.15 table booking) and staff very patient and accommodating - did not feel pressured to leave.

It’s been a while since we came away from a restaurant having not felt disappointed. But Moro lived up to what we have experienced in the past. It’s a little pricey but I’d rather pay a bit more and come away feeling that the food and drink were great which they were. Tasty ceviche with a fino sherry followed by Wood Roasted Pork finished off with the staple Malaga Raisin ice cream accompanied by Don Ximenez sherry. Good to know some things don’t change

A typically excellent meal from Moro. The seasonal Chestnut Soup and Sherry Triffle are worth waiting for.
