More Moorish

I am mourning the loss of Moorish.... so this is just show and tell of the Sicilian night from last year. Sorry folks but this restaurant has closed.  And it will be much missed. but you could go to the next venture of the Moorish team ... Scarlett's Garden.  Go to www.scarlettsgarden.co.uk to find out where to go.

Moorish: alas no more

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!
