《 Morito 》
What a lush day! The clocks altering final evening made the early begin barely simpler as we arrived at Columbia Highway Flower Marketplace for half 10 this morning. After spending a fortune on flowers we headed to moritohackney on Hackney Highway for a 12 o’clock lunch. ☔

moritotapas is one in every of my favorite eating places in London. Having first skilled their Spanish–North African meals on Exmouth Market (subsequent door to their different restaurant restaurantmoro), I’ve been again to Morito many occasions. It’s good in case you are planning on visiting columbiaroad I extremely suggest going their for lunch. 💐

The tapas menu has a choice of dishes all cooked from the open kitchen within the nook of the restaurant. We began with the bread basket, important for dipping within the labneh which was topped with carrot, sukkah & chilli butter. 🥕

Subsequent up got here padron peppers and deep fried aubergine. I had one pepper and it virtually blew my head off! However I appeared to be the one one who thought they have been scorching so be at liberty to utterly ignore that. I’ve ordered the aubergine many occasions earlier than, it’s served in strips, deep fried and topped with date molasses & whipped feta – yum. 🍆

All of us loved the cheese fritters & thyme honey. Tremendous creamy and candy. The stuffed pumpkin with pine nuts, raisins and seasoned yogurt was one in every of our least fav dishes because it lacked punch. 🎃

Nevertheless the autumn fattoush with figs and grapes was one in every of our favourites! To conclude, we had two greater plates. The seabass which was fantastically chargrilled with fennel, olives and cacik. Lastly we nearly managed a couple of bites of the grilled quail with rocket and pistachio sauce. 🐟

We ordered 9 plates between three which was most likely one too many. Total it was a fab meal and Morito nonetheless earns a spot in my high 5 eating places. 🏆
