Verru was a small, upmarket restaurant on Marylebone Lane, serving Scandinavian and Baltic food. It has now closed. A [https://twitter.com/ldnfoodaholic/status/403804000963035136 sign in the window] in November 2013 stated that the property was under new ownership and Verru would shortly be replaced with 'a new fine dining restaurant' from [http://www.michael-riemenschneider.com/ Michael Riemenschneider]. This venture didn't last very long and as of August 2014 the premises are vacant. The information below is retained for historical reference. <div class="old_info">A small, upmarket restaurant on Marylebone Lane, serving Scandinavian and Baltic food. The head chef is Estonian, and they serve Estonian beer (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/18046230@N00/8478023709/">photo</a>). There really isn't much space inside, but the elegant decor manages to be avoid it feeling crammed. There is a curtain around the front door to keep the draught out which adds to the cosiness. It can get quite noisy however. [[Kat]] visited on a Friday lunchtime in February 2013 with her parents. We'd booked via Toptable, and it was almost full when we arrived. We were offered a choice of bread: rosemary, and garlic (very garlic-y indeed but quite chewy). Our water glasses were kept topped up throughout the meal. The starters (£7-£9) are mostly fish/seafood based, and the mains focusing on game and meat. Kat's crab starter was fine but unexciting, the main of duck breast with mango and sweet potato puree (around £18) was much more interesting. The duck was excellently cooked, juicy with a decent amount of skin/fat left on it, the mango was fine but I wasn't sure if really worked. The presentation on the plate was lovely though. Other mains of entrecote steak (with chips in a tiny steel bucket) and roe deer went down very well. Best of all however were the puddings (around £5): a really good raspberry cheesecake, a rhubarb crumble and a strawberry meringue were all excellent (if not very seasonal). The bill came to around £40/head including wine and service. Kat's verdict: my parents loved it, I thought the a la carte was a bit overpriced for what we got, but would probably return for the set lunch menu (£12 for two courses) plus an extra pudding for luck. Accessibility: toilets are down a flight of stairs. <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kat]], 15 February 2013. Opening hours taken from the website.</div> </div>
