On Thanksgiving Day I had a great lunch meeting with a colleague at Vanilla Black. Tucked away on a side street off a side street, but just a few steps from Chancery Lane tube stop on the Central Line, it's small - but not tiny - , crisp and welcoming.
All the food is vegetarian, but of a calibre that reminded me of the vegetarian tasting menu at Cityzen at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, DC. Everything was incredibly creative, beatifully presented and the kind of food that makes you want to savor every bite. The wine list is substantial and the service was with a bright smile. It's all linens and silver.
I can't wait to go back. The only thing that disappointed me is that they aren't open on weekends, just lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday.
