Verden E5

Surprise steak!
My girlfriend took me out on a surprise date and it turns out it was a surprise steak date, which is the best date there ever is and ever will be. And we came to Verden E5, which is a spot I’d never heard of before and not quite sure why, because it was excellent.
It’s a dark, chic spot that’s pushing out cool. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.
The staff were incredibly friendly, chatty but not annoying, and had great suggestions. Love waiters like this and I can’t recommend them enough.
The food was tasty. The steak night they were doing was a special thing and not an every day thing but a thing worth seeking out all the same. Well priced, well cooked, well seasoned, I enjoyed every bite.
I’ll be back for sure, for a drink, for more food, or just to hang out. It’s that kind of space.

Hands down the best dining experience I’ve had in East London in a long while!
I (and my friends) cannot recommend this place enough! The gorgeous modern interior of this former pub is refreshing in a field of raw brick «finishing» and abandon stripped paint jobs that is the norm for East End eateries these days.
All this would have been very nice indeed but it was the food and drink that completely knocked our socks off! Every single dish prepared of this 3 course pris fixe meal for this large group was presented beautifully, tasted amazing and was so easy to share that the evening was an effortless delight! (In stark contrast to our expense at Oui Monsieur, see review)
I can only imagine how pleasant it would be to share a meal for two in such a well executed environment. I intend to find out soon though!
