I am devastated . This glorious restaurant Moorish is closed. As a sort of memorial here is a quick review of one of there delightful menus from 2013. Alas I can no longer frequent this wonderful restaurant but if you fly by their website www.thisismoorish.co.uk you can find a new outlet to the team... Scarlett's Garden...www.scarlettsgarden.co.uk.
This is a glorious restaurant... Full of the finest food. Moorish in Wiveliscombe serves a sublime combination of North African and Spanish... with some inspired wood fired weekends as well...
The following is just a 'normal' menu....what you get is the best ingredients combined in the best ways! You can tell I love this place. And I have not even started about the decor.. sparse, eclectic, rough around the edges. Such a pleasure to find such a contemporary restaurant. No white table clothes, no fake polish, no crass art just simplicity... I love it.

Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate
I was just blown away by the this dish.... this is how to raise the humble cauliflower to new levels with the addition of pomegranate molasses... I know that I will be delving into the back of my cupboard for this great syrup.

| Hake on a Bed of Spinach and Lentils |
The Spanish influence in full evidence here.... Hake is much underused in this country but is a staple of much Spanish fish cookery. And I can understand why. Simple but effective.

| Chocolate Torte |
Simplicity on a plate... not too sweet.. just right!
