Ten Things To Do In Exmouth Market List
1. Perhaps the most famous restaurant at Exmouth Market is Moro is, where you’ll find mouth-watering Moorish cuisine from North Africa and Spain. You’ll enjoy the charcoal-grilled lamb with slow-cooked flat beans and the vegetable mezze.
2. Those wanting tapas should head to Morito, where you can share a few small plates with your mates. Delicious dishes include fried chickpeas with pumpkin, tahini and yoghurt. With vegetable, fish and meat options, there is something for everyone. Read my Morito Review.
3. I always enjoy eating Middle Eastern food at the Berber & Q Shawarma Bar. Everything tastes fantastic, from the hummus to the cauliflower shawarma. Rotisserie cooking, cocktails, and wine make for a fun night out. Read my Berber & Q Shawarma Bar Review.
4. Try the tasty tacos at Taqueria filled with steak, plantains or organic shrimps. They also serve quesadillas and tostadas. Check out the Margarita list and cocktails.
5. If you fancy weekend brunch and coffee, then I’d recommend Caravan. Fill up on the fried jalapeño cornbread with black beans and two fried eggs. Alternatively, opt for the baked eggs in a spicy tomato and harissa sauce. Another popular coffee place is Briki which serve Mediterranean deli delights.
6. Those who want craft beer on tap or bottled beef with their weekend brunch or Sunday roast, should try the Mikkeller Brewpub. Pop inside, and you’ll see the microbrewery set up. The food is delicious, and I stopped off for a vegan burger and fries. Visit the Exmouth Arms, which has a great food menu, including a panko chicken sandwich with Katsu curry dressing, if you prefer a Victorian-style pub.
7. Grab takeaway food from the food stalls during the week at lunchtime. It’s a perfect solution for those working in the vicinity, or you want a quick and inexpensive meal. You can tell which stalls are popular by the long queues.
8. Relax with a pot of Korean tea at Be-oom. Try one of their leaf, flower, herbal or powder teas and enjoy it in the back garden. Purchase minimalist teaware and take a bag of tea home.
9. While you are in the area, make sure you pop into the cute shops. Stationery lovers will appreciate Marby and Elm, where you can stock up on cards, notebooks, posters and candles. Treat yourself to a few plants or flowers to brighten your home at the Botanique Workshop. At Space EC1, you can buy gorgeous gifts for your friends and family. There are a couple of jewellery shops to browse, including EC One and McCaul Goldsmiths.
10. The other thing to do here is book yourself a hair appointment. Try Root Hair and Beauty, where you can get a Balayage or cut and blow-dry. The Klinik is the place for colour and more. Barber Streisand is an unpretentious offbeat unisex barbershop.
