Best Dishes at Morito
Deep Fried Rabbit with Rosemary
Small PlatesThe Infatuation calls this a 'definite order' and says it 'should be a regular for everyone'. The rabbit is light and delicate when fried, complemented by aromatic rosemary sauce. This is one of the standout dishes that keeps diners returning. Small plate, but distinctive flavor.
Spiced Lamb and Aubergine
Small PlatesThe Infatuation highlights this as a signature small plate. Crispy lamb (sometimes as chops) is served on smoky roasted aubergine, topped with tart pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts. The interplay of spice, smoke, fruit, and nuts is distinctive for Morito.
Patatas Bravas
Small PlatesThe Infatuation specifically notes this is 'definitely worth ordering'. The Morito version features crispy fried potatoes with a spicy brava sauce and creamy aioli. A Spanish classic executed well. Works as a side or starter.
Cheese Fritters with Cretan Honey
StartersThese cheese fritters (saganaki-style) are golden, crispy, and oozing when broken. Drizzled with Cretan honey for sweetness and salt contrast. A popular starter. Reviewers call this 'super tasty' and it's frequently recommended as a must-order.
Jamón and Chicken Croquetas
Small PlatesGolden-fried croquettes filled with creamy béchamel, shredded jamón ibérico, and chicken. One of the comfort food plates on the menu. Crispy exterior, rich filling inside.
About Morito
Morito is the casual sibling of Moro next door, opened by Sam and Sam Clark in the late 2000s. It's a squeeze — elbow-to-elbow at tiny tables in a corridor-like space that hums with energy and queue culture. The menu changes daily with Spanish, North African, and Mediterranean small plates. Dinner is first-come first-served; if full, they take your name and call when space opens. Plan 3-4 plates per person and go with the flow.

Dinner is first-come, first-served. If we're full when you arrive, give your name and number — we'll call when space opens up. Lunch (12-4pm) accepts bookings, so that's more reliable if you need a guaranteed seat.
Plan for 3-4 small plates per person. Plates are genuinely small and designed for sharing. Don't order one plate per person — you'll be hungry. Bills accumulate quickly but that's the tapas model.
This place is corridor-like and cramped — elbow-to-elbow at tiny tables. It's energetic, not peaceful. If you want quiet, go to Moro next door instead. If you want buzzy and social, Morito is the move.
The menu changes daily. What's available today might not be tomorrow. Ask the staff about highlights and specials — they know what's best and can guide you through the day's offerings.
