The house

A quiet room at the heart of the old town

Vanilla is a British chef's kitchen, blending casual-chic style with a relaxed atmosphere. Since 2007 we've served a curated menu of international dishes built on the finest seasonal produce — from fresh seafood and premium grills to vibrant vegetarian plates.

Step off the lanes of Kaleiçi and the noise falls away. Warm hospitality, candlelight and the timeless charm of the old town — every plate simple, elegant and full of flavour.

The Chef's Signature

Plates Wayne is known for

"I cook the food I'd want to travel for — Mediterranean roots, far-east spice and the honesty of the wood-fire, built on whatever the season gives us that morning."

We came for the Christmas and New Year set menus — the service was perfect and the setting is magical. We will definitely return.

In the heart of the old town with an outdoor fireplace. Excellent service, reasonable prices — the dynamite shrimp was sublime.

A beautiful rib eye steak — well worth a visit. Lovely whether you sit inside or out on the terrace.

The desserts are amazing — the tiramisu was firm and moist with strawberries, and the café latte was very nice.
