Southern Mediterranean restaurant, Moro, on Exmouth Market is an acclaimed, atmospheric and well-placed independent restaurant for central London gatherings with a private dining room for 32 people.
Moro is a small, boutique chain of restaurants in London's North East spanning the original site on the beautiful, bustling Exmouth Market, a smaller tapas spot next door, and a third restaurant in Hackney. It all started in the late nineties when a chef couple came together to explore the flavours of Spain, Morocco and the Sahara, bringing their knowledge and learned recipes back to London. Since then, they've been a stalwart of the city's dining scene.
Private dining at Moro takes place in the exclusive dining room located just off the kitchen's iconic pass. Here, an intimate, atmospheric space is characterised by a custom-built U-shaped dining table, rich, green wall colour and bohemian styling. It's a chic, unfussy space to spend the evening with capacity for 32 people seated or 40 people, if you'd prefer a standing nibbles and drinks affair.
When dining privately, the team ask that guests stick to the three-course format, making it easier to serve everyone to the same rhythm. While dishes change frequently, some much-loved plates have included the likes of Cornish octopus salad with new potatoes, crispy capers, paprika and dill, as well as wood roasted chicken with tabbouleh, grapes, mint, pomegranate and pistachio sauce, and Malaga raisin ice cream with Pedro Ximenez sherry.
It's also possible to take over the whole of Moro for an entire venue takeover, with capacity for up to 110 guests. What's more, if you're planning an event elsewhere, the Moro team are very happy to cater as an external supplier for your event with options across canapes, three-course meals or something entirely bespoke.
