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.

Food and service were good, but it was exceptionally loud in the small room and we were basically shouting at each other (and the waitress) all evening... given the price of the menu, it would have been far preferable and enjoyable to have calmer and more spacious environment.

The place is very trendy and buzzing. The food was amazing. We eat out a lot but This was one of the most expensive restaurants we have ever been to. £38 for chicken. But tbh it was worth it. The food was amazing. The flavours were devine. The mixture of figs and chestnuts with the chicken and the salad were just wonderful. I’d definitely go back.

Felt very rushed as they needed the table back. Service between starter and main was slow, so didn't have enough time to enjoy the cheese plate at the end. We were moved to the bar and then told they didn't know if they could serve us another drink as the space would be needed. Food was ok, but wasn't outstanding. An expensive meal with little customer service. Won't be returning unfortunately.
