Vanilla Restaurant at the new Cape Quarter Extension offers relaxed Cape Town-style fine dining in an ambience of Manhattan glamour. The menu is extensive to ensure patrons always have ample choice. Opening at 10am, the brunch menu offers light terrace meals and during the week it’s geared for business people; similarly lunches are light and quick, with salads, seafood and sushi also on offer on the piazza. Sunday lunch on the piazza is a relaxed affair, accompanied by soft live music. Then fine dining starts at 6pm, accompanied by an impressive selection of wines that include vintage offerings. Prices range from reasonable to extravagant, but the resident sommelier will assist patrons with the perfect choice.
