Vanilla Black's approach to vegetable cuisine is not that of vegetarian in the traditional sense, but rather a passion for meeting the challenge of cooking without meat or fish. The menu utilises modern culinary techniques and ingredients to increase flavour delivery. A showcase of vegetable cuisine.
The best thing about Vanilla Black is that you can take someone here without telling them it's a veggie restaurant. The words "Gourmet" and "Vegetarian" aren't usually bandied about in the same sentence, but this godsend to discriminating non-meat-eaters will blow any thoughts of "rabbit food" clearly out of the water. Set in a secluded yet central part of London (3 mins from Chancery Lane Station on the Central Line) I adored the look and taste of my 3 courses so much, I made a Flickr gallery of dinner! In the evenings, 2 courses are £24 and 3 courses are £30. Along with an extensive winelist and a sense of luxury, I seriously advise going to this restaurant hungry - you will feel extremely full and satisfied after this thoroughly pleasurable experience - Say hello to Donna and Andy from me!

recently opened - have eaten dinner here twice now - both times had an excellent evening with imaginative and attractively presented food with really good service. one night i started with the deconstructed puy lentil dahl which was extremely tasty and nicely spiced. for the main course the parsley and mushroom duxelle mille feuille was a superb combination of quality and taste. All followed by a sumptious chocolate parfait. the wines list is well chosen and interesting. meat eaters as well would enjoy eating at vanilla black. overall a warm welcome and an elegant dining atmosphere.
