Head chef, Izu Ani simply describes his food as ‘different’ not wishing to follow any particular cuisine but drawing influence from his own culture and putting into practice ideas he has gained from his experiences whilst working in some of the finest Michelin starred restaurants the world has to offer.

Izu describes his kitchen as a ‘theatre’ with himself and his team as ‘performers’ providing guests with ‘entertainment for their eyes and palette’. Beautifully presented, always seasonal and using the very finest, carefully sourced ingredients, Vanilla offers an outstanding experience to its diners.
