Ngon Ngon - (Near City of London, london)

Chris Berry In 2001 a cookbook was published that totally crystalised my love of Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. Written by husband-and-wife chefs-patrons Sam and Sam Clark, it entirely captured not only the dishes they had encountered in their extensive travels, but also those they served in their beautifully unpretentious restaurant Moro, in Londons Farringdon. My partner and I first dined at Moro in 2010 and loved it, and on a recent weekend trip to London to celebrate my partners birthday we felt a return trip to the restaurant was well overdue. It did on disappoint. From the outset the service was warm, friendly, and efficient. The vibe of the restaurant could be described as "warm-minimalist", being stylish, clean, and uncluttered, but with comfortable furniture and decorated with a colour palate that draws on the places Spanish/Mediterranean focus. However, the absolute star of the show is Moros food - and drink! My starter of beetroot soup with black cumin and dill yoghurt was packed with earthy spicy flavours, perfect for an autumn day. A main of wood roasted pork belly with trinxat, crispy pancetta, fried turnips and sherry vinegar, was beyond delicious, with the richness of the succulent pork being perfectly balanced by the sharp-sweetness of the sherry vinegar. And the dessert of Malaga raisin ice cream with Pedro Ximenez sherry was divine. My partners choices of cuttlefish with chickpeas, wood roasted lamb shoulder with romesco, and rose water and cardamom ice cream were equally delicious. Paired with a couple of aperitifs and an excellent bottle of red wine from Alicante, our lunch was simply splendid. Sure, there a few young pretenders on the block, but there is a reason Moro has been around for a while, because with service, atmosphere, and food this good, its a restaurant that is very hard to beat.

rajiv interesting dive bare type spot with some cool american saloon style decor. came here for the unlimited wings which at £13 was very well priced. youve got two decent options of bbq and buffalo sauce both of which are very nice. The wings arent the biggest but given the amount theyre churning out these, they arent dry at all and are very well cooked, still very tender. we also tried some of their nuclear wings which were okay, not as spicy as i expected. cheap drinks even outside of happy hour

Robert Wenk We were looking for a place to have lunch in between meetings and what we found is this gem. It is a French style bistro that serves different dishes for fair prices. The waitress was friendly, very attentive and efficient. We had meat with fries and salad, nothing too fancy but everything was of good quality. Most people in there had wine and all the other dishes I spotted looked delicious. A charming place with good food for fair prices. Recommend!

Lucy Robson We went for my Moms birthday as she is coeliac. She loved that she didn’t have to worry about what she was eating and the selection of options was great. You couldn’t even tell the food was gluten free. Would definitely go again!

Y M Food was excellent! We had pork escalopes and smoked fish for the main course - absolutely delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was overall so cosy: candlelight, live music, and a very welcoming vibe.

Mike Ortegon This is my second time to eat here for lunch. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and flavourful. The quaint atmosphere, friendly staff and great selection is a perfect place to eat. The Bento boxes are tasty and plentiful. I have had the Katsu chicken and for vegetarian palates try the Pumpkin Croquette Curry! We tried all the starters Salmon Nigiri fresh, and complemented with a variety of Goyza’s. Can’t go wrong with anything Lon the menu. Friendly and attentive staff. I would recommend
