It was early spring, right before dinner time, and Exmouth Market was jam packed with people enjoying the crisp weather while grabbing a drink outside. Nestled within this energetic and vibrant street sits Moro, a lovely, Moorish restaurant serving homemade flatbread, mezzes, fresh salads, meat dishes, sherry tastings, and much, much more.
I actually visited this place twice. Once for lunch with Bryan, and once for dinner for a business meeting. Both times, the place was packed (you can’t tell from the photo below because I came right when it opened!).
It’s quite clear there are a lot of regulars that come. We saw the owner? give guests hugs and say hello. It’s a happy place full of sunshine during the day and lots of laughter at night. The Michelin Guide has also written about this restaurant in its guide.
Lunch
Mezzes from the Bar
There is a bar menu that has a lot of fun little mezzes (small plates) that are supposedly only available to people sitting at the bar. Our server told us that if we really wanted some stuff she would let us order some.
How fun! We enjoyed the mezzes so much. My dining companions especially enjoyed the patatas bravas. I’ve always been a huge fan of Marcona almonds, and the baba ghanoush was great too. Shishito peppers were solid, similar to ones I’ve had elsewhere.
Dinner
Drinks
Moro Exmouth Market London – Thoughts
It’s rare I go to a restaurant twice during a weeklong trip, but I came to Moro twice. If I were go to back, I would absolutely get the bread, celery salad, mixed vegetable mezze plate, and the chicken! Those were my favorite dishes, but most of the other dishes were quite nice as well. I can certainly see why people love this place. Best part is that you can wander around the Exmouth Market area before or after the meal.
