When Sam and Samantha Clark created this perky tapas bar next door to their emblematic restaurant Moro, it was just what Londoners were dreaming of – an effortlessly cool, Spanish-meets-Moorish cubbyhole with fabulous 1970s styling, a blinding orange bar and a line-up of quick-fire, aromatic morsels. Bookings are taken for lunch, but it's first come, first served in the evening, when diners queue up to sit on the most uncomfortable bar stools around. Luckily, the food and excellent Spanish wines compensate. Choose from the day's menu of grilled plancha dishes and montaditos (mini open ‘sandwiches'), but don't miss the beetroot and yoghurt borani with feta and walnuts or the lamb chops with cumin and paprika. Seafood specials such as puntillitas (baby squid) with sumac are also excellent. Complaints concern noise levels and small portions, which sometimes spoil the fun.

foodstinct.com :: Morito: take your friends
Everything about Morito is perfect for sharing. The tables are close set – so you’ll be sharing space in an intimate way. Come with good friends! The tapas plates are small sized, and arrive quickly. We always order together, eat together then order more if we want. Most often, it’s an intuitive ordering too, a quick glance down the menu, a suggestions from the staff, and then a random firing off of a few dishes, until a knowing glance tells you you’ve ordered enough...

Brunch etc. :: Drinks and tapas at Morito
I visited Morito once before (for a special seafood and sherry tasting event last year), but - despite numerous trips to sister restaurant Moro - I never managed to return to try the standard menu. I finally got my chance a couple of weeks ago, at a relaxed Monday night dinner with my boyfriend and his lovely cousin. Showing up at 7pm, we had no problem getting a table for three, making Morito a great alternative to Moro if you haven't had the chance to book weeks in advance! (although it's still pretty busy later in the week)...

Gingle lists everything :: Morito, 1st December
Stephen has been to Morito so often that I almost felt like I'd been myself. He always speaks highly of it and I have been pestering him to go with me for a while. That day finally came when we decided to celebrate our anniversary with a lunch there. Morito does little plates with a Moorish feel to them. Prices range from 2.50 for an assortment of breads up to about 8.50 for some lamb chops. The place is very fond of cumin...
