My partner and I visited Vanilla on Saturday evening for our anniversary. We haven’t been to Vanilla for a very long time so thought we would celebrate there as we had always enjoyed it so much. We were delighted by the experience. It was just as I remembered food excellent, I had the Steak cooked to perfection and my husband... More

I really enjoyed my first visit to Vanilla and since I just had to go back! The service was efficient and exceptionally friendly. The great atmosphere contributes to a lovely evening. The food was yummy and not extortionately priced. A good experience all round. More

We dine out in the Cheltenham area regularly but have never before come across Vanilla. Our first visit has left us desperate to return at the first available opportunity and so we have actually rebooked for this Saturday - two weekends in a row, not something we EVER do!!! The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish, every mouthful... More

Always amazed this place isn't full up every night. Lovely food, livens up a bit later in the evening - people here seem to eat a bit later. Recommended for a Saturday night when it gets a bit more of an atmosphere. Food's great, wish they'd do something about the chairs though - or am I alone in finding them... More

I went with two others to Vanilla after reading reviews and holding high hopes. For starters we had two salads and a soup. The salads were ok, if not underdressed. the soup arrived about 5 minutes after the salads as the waiter got the order wrong. When it arrived it was quite stodgy and tasteless. For mains we had pork... More

I went to vanilla resturant at Christmas with some friends. I had heard good things about it and I certainly wasn't disappointed! The atmosphere was really relaxed, and the food and service was brilliant. I would definitely recomend vanilla as a great place to eat in Cheltenham. More
