Morito

Absolutely amazing restaurant, food to die for, and fabulous ambience.
If you have a little bit of extra cash to spend, then well worth the trip, as it aint cheap.

However, just a pointer to the Timeout team, this is a truly traditional and innovative Spanish restaurant; not African, not Middle Eastern - SPANISH! ;)

Not often I say this but, absolutely fabulous!.. without the darling. Great food without the pomp, and you can quite easily control the price of your meal, if like me, you are on a budget. Everything I've had at this resaurant has been good, but I have particularly enjoyed the fried chickpeas, ( i dont usually eat chickpeas!) the lamb dishes and the squid, also the pork fillet, ice cream and espresso coffee. Wine is reasonably priced and delicious!... Shame it isn't open on a Sunday though.

A group of us ate at Morito last Saturday and Moro for lunch earlier this week. Morito won hands down (although Moro was by no means poor)! We had great service - every effort was made to keep 9 of us together. It was a bit of a squeeze but what a good atmosphere. We loved the food and thought value for money - although yeah maybe expected more than 1 scallop in the tapas dish :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed the tapas here although would agree with the comments below, thought it was a tad expensive for the size of portions. I have had far better value, equally tasty tapas elsewhere, but it was still delicious in the main. Footnote: ordered a small glass of Rioja, got a carafe, oh well, managed to drink it anyway!

hugely overrated and overpriced. Food was average. There are much better similar places, with more generous portions and tastier food.

Portions very small and not half as nice as I would expect from a Time Out 5 star restaurant. The only real highlight was the potatoes with chilli and coriander, but nothing came close to the standard I've got used to at places like Brindisa. Won't be going back.

I've loved Morito from the start, amazing food and wine, lovely staff and vibe, but took some friends there last night and the portions had shrank to about half their previous size. Was delicious but embarrassing given the price we paid.

The service here is rude, surly and snotty. For a tapas bar with plastic chairs one would expect a more fun laid-back joie-de-vie atmosphere. It is overly tourist oriented and does not care about serving customers so much as having as many seats open to turn around quickly and make a buck. Get over yourselves.

The people here are genuine-cool, just like its location. The food is delicious but like most tapas places, too expensive and too little. I take the view that tapas is a snack food and therefore shouldn't come with a £6 price tag for a couple of prawns. I liked the atmosphere in a kind of dilapidated way but you feel that it should come with Lisbon street food prices. Paying a price to feel authentic is trendy London eating though and this is certainly a very trendy, cool place to have some wine in a tumbler and a plate of expensive nibbles.

I has dinner here yesterday after reading so much about it on timeout & the metro, both really good reviews. It was amazing! The food was the best tapas i've tasted and the place was buzzing! Ideal for a first date as there are lots of talking points: the great menu, the chefs cooking in front of you etc! Throughly enjoyed and throughly deserving of the 5 stars!

Well deserving of Time Out's 5* rating for its wonderfully varied and delicious, but completely spoiled in our view by being LOUD, LOUD, LOUD - just like its parent restaurant next door. We scooted out of the front door just as soon as we were able and sadly won't be returning for this one, but overwhelming reason.
No doubt the management will totally ignore these comments since by 8 pm there was already a hefty queue of 18-30 year olds waiting for one of the God-awful tacky formica-style orange tables with hyper uncomfortable stools.
Overall we rated it 4/10.
