    Was very impressed with food here and was good for vegetarians which, honestly, surprised me! Nice informal atmosphere, bloody lethal sherries ;) Friendly staff.

    Morito is a small tapas bar with a resolute no-booking policy and a persistent queue. The food here is worth the wait. Read more

    It's just so tasty. Try one of everything and leave with no regrets. The aubergine minced lamb dish is particularly delicious.

    Great vegetarian tapas options. Very rare! And great drinks. But get here early if you want a seat.

    They take reservations during the day, but not at night. Best for singles, couples and smaller groups as it's teeny tiny.

    If you are not eating alone, get a table as the bar is too narrow for your plates and drink.
