"Morito’s location on Hackney Road makes it feel like a neighbourhood restaurant, but once you’re inside, it’s immediately clear that this place would murder the competition anywhere it opened. It’s always busy, and that’s because the food is exceptional. You’ll find a Mediterranean/North African twist on brunch, and it’s a great way to break an eggs royale habit. The scrambled menemen eggs is the dish to get. If it’s on, the bougatsa (a Cretan filo pastry with fresh cheese, sugar, and cinnamon) is worth trying as well." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
