Morito - East London

I have visited this restaurant before, in 2020 and also at the Exmouth location, and I have always enjoyed the food. However, on this recent visit, I felt that the quality has declined. There were some misses in the dishes, and the service was inconsistent. Our group of 7 came here for a friend's birthday. The waitress provided us with suggestions on what to order, which was helpful, so we followed her recommendations. We tried a variety of dishes, some were good such as the labneh with braised winter greens and deep-fried aubergines, while others like the patatas bravas and cuttlefish and prawn black arroz were disappointing. The standout dish was the slow-braised pork with Jerusalem artichoke and confit leeks, it was tender and full of flavor. The dessert, chocolate and olive oil mousse with hazelnuts, was disappointing as it was hard and overly drenched in olive oil. We also ordered 4 bottles of wine, and while the waitress was helpful in guiding us, she seemed a bit pushy. At the end of the meal, she made a comment about tipping extra, which we found off-putting as we were already paying a 12.5% service charge. When we left and I thanked her, she ignored me, which was rude and left a bad impression. Overall, the experience was not up to par, and I don't plan on returning anytime soon.

Absolutely amazing, I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago and had the most delicious food. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find plenty of options available. It was my first visit, but definitely not my last! Sharing a few small dishes between two people left us feeling completely satisfied. The atmosphere was great, with a lovely interior design. The restaurant is also situated in a fantastic location.

The restaurant was mediocre, but not quite to my liking. Out of the three meat and fish dishes we ordered, all required us to debone the food ourselves. These dishes were not meant for sharing as tapas should be. We found it uncomfortable constantly having to use our hands to eat. The service was also lacking, with the server hovering around to clear plates before we were finished. On one occasion, he even took a friend's cocktail without asking, even though there was still some left. The recommended 10 plates for four people was excessive, and we ended up ordering only seven. The bill came to over $40 per person, including cocktails.

This was a great restaurant. It has a great vibe and the food is amazing. I’d particularly recommend the padron peppers and the rabbit. The service is great too. I’d definitely come back here.

This place likely needs no introduction, being part of the London restaurant scene so long it may as well be part of the furniture. A very popular spot, the place is always busy, but they provide ac wonderful stay off plates and have a great wine list which will keep even the most discerning client happy. For a decent, casual, if not cheap meal. Morito is definitely worth a visit.
