moro is great if you live in islington... or if you work for the guardian newspaper... or dance at sadlers wells.. situated, as it is, on exmouth market not far from farringdon road...or roseberry avenue. Less convenient if you live in west london like me...but worth the trek across town I reckon. And its location certainly defines its clientele and lively feel.... Moro was started by Sam Clark and Sam Clarke - man and wife - who used to work at the River Cafe... they have done for rustic Spanish food what Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers did for Italian... And it really works. The food is inventive and care has clearly been taken in the conception of each dish, without it being overly fussy. Much of the meat comes deliciously chargrilled - cooked on the open wood fire at the end of the restaurant. There's something exhilarating about being able to watch your food being prepared with such gusto. Moro is good value, when you consider the high quality ingredients and the expertise and training of the chefs. Its wooden tables and bistro atmosphere mean it's great for a noisy dinner with friends but probably not the place for an intimate evening a deux.
