Verru, 69 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2PH

A Scandinavian restaurant in London. 

That's all. 

...

I kid. Unfortunately for my overworked editors, that's not all. 

Perhaps, slightly more fortunately for you, there will be a tad more information. 

The most important thing to note: Meaties will not want for choice. Vegatables, we get one starter and one main...and an array of puddings, but then who doesn't offer an array of pudding?! Vegetables is a working collective name. I plan on seeing how it sits with me over the next few weeks...chances are it will sit so comfortably that I'll forget that I'm testing it out...I digress...again...but, I haven't admitted my penchant for digression since post one at The Garrison. 

Back to options, or lack thereof: 
To start: Lightly truffley creamy cheese, beetroot, apricot chutney, walnuts and lingonberries
Mains: Roast squash, wild mushrooms, Västerbotten cheese.
Dessert: Elderflower and Strawberry cheesecake.

Verdict: pleasing (and precise) presentation (now that's what I call plosives), well prepared food and perfect service. 
The only downside for Veg Monsters (another working title), one choice per section, so check that the menu sounds agreeable before giving your cash card a work out.


Price: £81.38 for  small glass of white wine, 1 small glass of red wine, 2 x starter, 2 x main, 1 x dessert
Veggie Friendly: 1/5
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Atmosphere: 4/5 (My reason for deducting a mark has nothing to do with the restaurant...it's just...well...as we were enjoying the last precious mouthfuls of cheesecake, another patron let one rip...and I can't erase the subsequent assault on my nostrils from my memory)
