Morito

Highly recommended. Best spot for a date, drink and light tapas on Exmouth Market, much prefer food here than the larger sister Moro next door. Wine list is small but very well put together, reasonably priced and very tasty, including carafes. We have been here several times and tried everything - do not miss the chorizo, pan con tamate, chickpeas, squid, lamb chops or raisin ice cream.

Had a few tapas for dinner with a friend: asparagus tortilla, slow cooked cauliflower, beetroot borani and deep fried baby squid. Unfortunately I find the food is generally on the salty side. Our favourite is the beetroot borani which is an excellent dip for bread!!

Hands down, MORITO served the best tapas I’ve ever eaten in my life!
That’s saying something coming from this foodie.
It was packed yet maintained a relaxed and lively vibe, with customers enjoying conversations and the servers offering excellent service and well informed selections.
My favorite was the jerusalem artichoke and merinda tomato salad with crickets & cardamom. So fresh, crispy and flavorful.
My partner loved the chicharrones - pork belly, lemon & cumin. Outstanding!
We also savored the gambas al ajillo (shrimp sautéed in garlic).
Walk-ins only, this restaurant is worth a short wait on a busy night.
The orange and pink wines match perfectly!
BRAVO!!

Great food and great service, would definitely return to try more tapas 😋

Had dinner with a friend here last Wednesday. Whilst the tapas are expensive -£9!! or so- and we commiserated how we can get the same items in Spain for less than half of that price, we had to admit the quality was excellent. I had the pumpkin pisto, aubergine with honey and bacalao croquetas and was very impressed with the portion sizes as well, especially the aubergine. My friend also was impressed with the plate size of her patatas bravas. Service was quick and efficient. We sat at the bar. I’m also subtracting a star bc the wine “carafe” was really overpriced. Honestly I’ve seen MUCH bigger carafes in other places- this was barely two glasses a person. For £14! It’s a better deal to get a single glass. Not a bad dry white wine but not the best I’ve had.

A cute little tapas place at the heart of Exmouth market. The food is fresh and delicious, albeit the portion is a bit small. But - it’s tapas and it’s London so I guess it’s to be expected. The food is super delicious though.

Excellent tapas at a great price, packed full of seasonal ingredients.

What a great spot for a Saturday afternoon lunch. We ordered slightly too much, but the menu was just irresistible!

Highlights were the lamb chops

Have been to both Exmouth store and Hackney store. Would definitely prefer Exmouth.

We order the following for our visits (4 people):
1. Padro peppers
2. Sweet Onion tortilla
3. Fried chickpeas
4. Crispy aubergine
5. Deep fried squid
6. Prawns
7. Chicharrones (pork belly)
8. Spiced lamb, aubergine, pomegranate

Everything is delicious, sweet onion tortilla and deep fried squid are very well cooked and delicious. Fried chickpeas, crispy aubergine and spiced lamb are exceptional, creative, and simply excellent. Prawn and pork belley are not bad, but the flavor is a bit too strong (salty).

It has been 8 years since I first visit Morito. I am surprised and exuberant to find some of my favorite dishes are still on the menu (fried chickpeas and spiced lamb).

Now that I know they offer different menu from the one in Hackney, I would definitely visit the store more often.
