Cafe Med - St Johns Street in Islington

Have been going to Morito for over 4 years, pretty regular across both locations as well as Moro and a great fan of Sam & Sam. I believe today’s experience was pretty much the end of the journey. Good produce and service does not come cheap, but hyper-inflation of prices and reduction in portion sizes has made a marked difference in the experience one gets. Kudos to the waiters who were kind enough to understand our frustrations as regulars.

Great atmosphere and fantastic food, we were a large party and Lizzie really looked after us, will definitely come back!

I find it quite unbelievable that, after claiming to be a vegetarian restaurant for years, they’re still selling non-vegetarian Parmesan on their menu - they even mention this on the website (calf rennet is made from dead calves). The Vegetarian Society contacted them about this in 2014, but they don’t appear to have taken it on board. There are so many vegetarian cheeses these days (I don’t mean vegan cheese, I mean dairy cheese made without animal rennet), it’s a shame they couldn’t accept this feedback. I wonder how many unsuspecting people have eaten here believing their food to be vegetarian, when it isn’t.

Updated April 2025. Still great food, beer and wine. Thanks to the team at The Eagle. Friendly, busy pub. Food is simple but delicious and fresh, with a short menu that changes frequently. Highly recommend.

Great service from Kat here. Enjoyed my time very much she’s a great addition to the team! Didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food
