The present day El Moro has some of the ‘feel’ of the original saloon with bared red brick, tin ceiling, hardwood floors and heavy wooden tables. The menu can be described as ‘modern rustic’. The simple and memorable dishes are designed to blend classic, old world preparations with exciting techniques that have evolved from the modern cuisine movement, such as spherification, which will highlight the qualities of the ingredients.
