Vanilla Pod - Menú

Just an amazing experience. Never fails to delight. Visited for lunch with friends. The food was absolutely delicious. Lovely warm welcome, dietary needs catered for, exquisite food at exceptional value for money. Would highly recommend. You need to book as very popular.

We ate here on Saturday night with friends. The food was amazing! The scallops, the Hake, the duck, the lamb, the jelly surprise…. Just everything. We had the wine pairings too everything was great. Fantastic value and head and shoulders above the Hand and Flowers. Booking is essential

Always a pleasure to eat here. Unlike its over-rated “starred” neighbours, the food is really good value and well presented. A lovely convivial atmosphere too, that feels like a classy restaurant, not a pub. Deservedly No 1 in the town. This experienced reviewer highly recommends this restaurant to you.

As always, the food was first class. Perfectly cooked, and unique choices of dishes are on offer: none of the menus are of the standard, tedious, corporate kind. The ambience is quiet and unshowy, the service charming and all at such a reasonable price. Our favourite restaurant for years. Long may it continue!

Wonderful lunch with friends. We chose from the fixed priced lunch menu, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Couldn't fault it, along with reasonably priced wines from the house selection. I have being going to the Vanilla Pod for years and Michael continues to work his magic in the kitchen, awesome by far the best restaurant in Marlow.

What a great find! There are 2 dinner menu choices a 6 or 9 course with optional wine pairing which was reasonably priced. The restaurant is small and only has c8 10 tables. The food was truly outstanding the monkfish with truffle cauliflower purée was my fave. The service was great (students from the local schools). They have the balance of creating a vibe that is relaxed but also feels special. It’s not one for people who want showy or a buzzy atmosphere.

Yet another excellent meal. I have been going to this restaurant at least a couple of times a year since soon after it opened over twenty years ago. I have never had a poor course, let alone a poor or even average meal. It is incredibly consistent and incredible value £25 for three courses on the set lunch menu and £45 for three courses on the à la carte menu. For some reason, other restaurants in Marlow get more hype but it's a mystery to me why that is. Highly recommended.

It is very easy to claim you have found a new favourite restaurant and then realise a couple of years later you haven't returned. Well I did return for lunch on Saturday and it was just as good as the first time. The mini bread rolls were delicious and although the starters weren't to my particular taste they were still perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. My beef fillet was cooked exactly how I requested and was incredibly tender. The apple and currants pastry was also very tasty and brilliantly matched with clotted cream. The service was delightful and I have already booked return visits.

Without a doubt the best meal I experienced during my week in London. And I chase good food whenever I travel! Attentive service, a solid wine list, and food that is both beautiful and of the highest quality. Not inexpensive, and reservations are a must, but it was worth every pound. We chose the 7 course Savour the Experience menu. There was an amuse bouche as well, a small espresso shot of a rich wild mushroom broth that was simply amazing with the fresh bread provided. My companion has a dairy intolerance, and the kitchen had so issues preparing food to her requirements. We got both of the main options: a poached turbot and a beef filet, which we shared. I won 't go into great detail on t...
