We say…

Situated on Great Titchfield Street in the heart of the West End, Vanilla is all about being different and standing out from the crowd. From the ice-cool lounge bar where creative cocktails are served under stalactite-like chandeliers to the monochrome beauty of the adjoining dining room, this unique venue is as sophisticated as the people who drink and dine here. In the kitchen, the chefs use carefully sourced seasonal ingredients to create an eclectic menu with dishes that combine cuisines from all around the world. Diners can enjoy impressive flavour combinations like sea bass with vanilla emulsion; confit lamb saddle with spicy aubergine dressing; caramelised figs in port with lavender ice cream; chocolate brownie with tonka bean ice cream. Whether you need to impress a client or add some glamour to a romantic dinner date; Vanilla never fails to impress.

WOW! There's no other place to describe this place. It has just become my all time favourite restaurant. We dined on the TT offer last night but would return, deal or no. The food, the setting, the service - everything here is top notch and the decor is just amazing. A definite winner!

It was my second time going back to Vanilla, The food was very good and well presented, the service was great and attentive and good value for money with the special offer. We will go there again even though it's located a bit away from activities. All in all was enjoyable.
