Momo Restaurant Familial, Kemia Bar, Tearoom and Bazaar - Mayfair

THINK: Coolest of Morocco
Momo's combination of French and North African influences combine to create a memorable cultural hybrid- a little slice of Marrakech, via Paris, in the centre of London. Given that the food is never going to be the main attraction in places like this, it was surprisingly good. The really impressive thing about Momo's is that for all it's trendy cache, it's not guilty of resting on it's Laurels.Compare the food here, for instance, to that available at Langan's Brasserie round the corner. The staff have a spring in their step that is the hallmark of a well run restaurant and the service was friendly and efficient. Ultimatly this is a tribute to Mourad Mazouz, a hands on proprietor if ever I saw one.
