We ate at Vanilla Lounge a couple of years ago and didn't think much of it. However, in view of all the good reviews we decided to try again - and are very glad we did. Starters were mozarella and tomato with a very tasty pesto, and the chicken livers with pancetta - both good. Then a fillet steak, cooked... More

We dined here twice, once after leaving a nearby place because of indifferent service. Each time, the innovative tastes and presentations wowed us (and we never even got to the major entrees!). Chef cordially visited us with us when we booked, and again over dinner. Too many highlights to mention all, but included a "stacked" caprese salad and some superb... More

If you're in Antalya, you have to go here! One of the best restaurants I have been to and believe me I have been to many worldwide. Food fresh, excellently cooked. Not only was the food great, but the location and ambience of the pace was also great. The pricing was reasonable and the staff was well versed with the... More

For all you foodies travelling to Antalya, there is a quiet revolution going on in the kitchen at the Vanilla Lounge in the Old Town. My wife and I first encountered the great food at the Vanilla Lounge back in 2010 and things there are are just going from strength to strength. The Vanilla Lounge is owned and run by... More

My wife and I enjoyed a week-long stay at Lara Beach towards the end of February. We stayed at the all-inclusive Limak Lara Hotel, but having enjoyed a number of meals at Vanilla Lounge on a previous holiday, I was keen to take another trip to the old town. The food at the hotel was very good, but the meal... More

I was there on a Saturday night. I was traveling alone and figured that by going to a top rated restaurant that there would be others around. I was the only one. About halfway through my meal, another man came into the restaurant. He clearly knew the owners. I was eating around 8:30/9pm. The food was really delicious but the... More

My wife and I visited Vanilla Restaurant for lunch in early April 2013. We were greeted by the owners who made us feel very welcome. There was no rush or any pressure to order. My wife had the tomato and mozzarella to start. I tasted it and contrary to a previous review, found the flavours wonderful. No one flavour overpowered... More

I was excited that this #1 rated place was just a short walk from our hotel, the Villa Verde. The Hostess/waitress was friendly. We got to Vanilla at 9pm and there were only two other small groups in the place. We started with a bottle of the house white wine. Although red is usually more my likely, my friend has... More

Food was great - we went back four times. Nice ambiance and great attention to detail. Menu reflexible and chef and staff attentive. Really good value for money. We liked the free pumpkin and coconut soup too:) Thanks Wayne - it was a lovely end to our holiday.
