Manhattan chic is mirrored in the sophisticated, cut crystal style of Vanilla. From the glittering glass staircase and floating chandelier to futuristic mood lighting, Vanilla is constantly changing. By day it glitters glass and silver; by night, star spangled walls emerge in cerise pink. Here, light is art, and the intimate, romantic interior flows out onto an evocative piazza that is pure, al fresco living.
Vanilla essence is the subtle thread that connects cuisine and cocktails. The carefully crafted menu is extensive, but with acute attention to detail. There are old favourites and intricate new inventions, with an inspiring seafood selection too. Brunches, light lunches and intimate evening dinners complement ornate sushi offerings. Every culinary taste is here, dining indoors or out, with a choice of social or perfectly intimate setting.
Contemporary clean lines mingle easily with classical pieces in a marriage of worlds. The palette is an inspiring synergy of silver and cerise, charcoal and vanilla and creates an ambiance that’s utterly enchanting and relaxing. Vanilla is a showcase of glass and light that gives life to the evocative love story of the vanilla orchid. It’s creatively intoxicating to suit all moods, day and night.
At the heart of Vanilla is the baby grand piano that tantalizes diners with gentle Broadway melodies. In rhythms of light jazz and blues to classical favourites, every night Vanilla is awash with music. Showcasing different artists and styles, live music permeates the atmosphere to create an air of sophisticated serenity. Without words, music is the language of love and harmony and the essence of Vanilla.
While inside Vanilla offers intimate dining in a sophisticated atmosphere of romance, outside on the piazza is reminiscent of trendy European café society. In a relaxed atmosphere under the African sky, it’s a sociable option infused with the vibrant energy of the new Cape Quarter. Enjoy sushi and light meals, or sip colourful cocktails as the sun sets and feel the passion of living now.
