Vanilla Black is situated in the East End of London and offers a new spin on vegetarian cuisine. The restaurant is spacious and inspired by the art-deco era, offering a chic backdrop for your meal. Any perceptions of stodgy, lentil-filled meals are about to be smashed; instead, prepare for stunningly presented dishes such as candy stripe beetroot salad, cabbage and cheddar with beans, port and raisins and a mushroom torte. Desserts are equally impressive, including almond marzipan cake and dark chocolate pudding. Three courses will cost an average of £40 per person and will silence even the most committed carnivore.
