What makes us special

Fine dining is more than just serving food on a plate and eating.

It involves the freshest and best available ingredients. It needs passion, discipline and experience from the chef to ensure the food is properly prepared every step of the way. It's incomplete without meticulous presentation and dressing. To be thoroughly enjoyed, it must be served in the right ambience with excellent service. And every meal is better at a fair price and in generous portions. That's what the Vanilla restaurant is all about.

Our years of experience and commitment to being a great restaurant are apparent once you step into the premises. We're very proud of everything we offer and we keep our menu fresh and diverse. We love a happy customer and welcome first timer's to enjoy all that we have to offer. The Restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 9AM to 2AM
