"One of the trailblazers of small plates eating with their original restaurant in Exmouth Market, Morito has continued doing what they do best on the Hackney Road. The tapas approach means that you can keep going if you aren’t satisfied, or just have a few bits and bobs. The Spanish and North African-inspired menu changes but it’s hard to go wrong. Roast quail, seafood rice, any croquette and cheese fritters are excellent. Sitting at the counter is perfect for a couple, or bring any friends or family you want to modestly impress. The brunch menu is excellent too." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
