Morito's Sunday Vermouth evenings in June and July

Following on from the huge popularity of our Calcotada evenings, Morito is delighted to announce the launch of four special Sunday Vermouth nights in June and July.

Vermouth has always been an integral part of Morito’s drinks list - a bitter sweet love affair.

MORITO SHERRY FEAST
Moro present their long table feast in their beautiful souk tent on the evening of Thursday 6 August, importing their unique infusion of Spanish, African and Middle Eastern flavours for your delectation before the festival kicks off in earnest.

Each course is paired with a fine sherry, taking you on a journey of world class flavours to savour. Book your place at the feast here.

NEW DATE ADDED - MARCH 1

Morito is continuing the festive spirit into the New Year by celebrating Catalonia’s famous onion festival, the Calçotada!

Bringing the seasonal flavours and party atmosphere of the Gran Festa de la Calçotada to Exmouth Market every Sunday in February, Morito’s set menu will include the ubiquitous charcoal grilled calçots with romesco sauce alongside grilled lamb chops with cumin and paprika, almond tart with a digestivo of Patxaran, and a delicious festive sparkle of Cava and orange granizado.

The calçot is a type of green onion from Catalonia somewhere between a spring onion and a leek. The popularity of the calçot has given rise to the Calçotada - an annual gastronomical event in Valls and beyond, celebrating the harvest of the calçot. True to the Catalonian spirit, it is a great excuse to get together, talk, party and more importantly eat onions! Large bunches, fresh from the earth are grilled over an open fire until charred then wrapped in newspaper to steam through. The calçots are served on terracotta tiles, peeled with bare hands, dunked in rich romesco sauce made from almonds and peppers, and then devoured. Typically served with grilled meats and washed down with plenty of wine and vermouth.

For £25 per head (plus service) Morito diners can experience a taste of the Gran Fiesta de la Calçotada every Sunday in February.
