Mari Vanna

Mari Vanna är en restaurang och delikatessbutik på Wellington Court i London.

Lace, matryoshka dolls, books, lovely china, candles and a massive beflowered entrance greet you at this old-fashioned eatery, overwhelming you with the kind of cosiness you might feel in your nan's ancestral home – if she moonlighted as a powerful Russian matriarch, of course. With a menu drawing on various former Soviet republics for inspiration, the cosiness soon settles into your stomach as well, letting you sit back contentedly and observe all the bric-a-brac in peace.
