VANIL Restaurant

Vanil is a restaurant-legend; it is not just a word. You can feel it from the first step into the restaurant and Vanil is a tradition, a quality label that nobody people adore.

Stepan Mikhalkov, Arkady Novikov and Feodor Bondarchuk opened it more than 10 years ago and it still keeps the status of one of Moscow’s top 10 successful restaurants and fashionable spots to be at. That is why representatives of business and cultural elite are regular guests of Vanil restaurant.

In our restaurant, waiters are passionate and efficient, whilst the environment allows you to relax and enjoy the ambience and quality food. Dining in Vanil has been recognized by many people as the ultimate culinary experience, obtained by virtue of successfully operating for many years with the most fastidious public. Vanil’s guests often escorted by half a dozen bodyguards whilst their drivers crowd in front of the entrance know no less state secrets than the government does.

The cuisine of Vanil restaurant is managed by one of the most popular French head chef crème de la crème in Moscow Kamel Benamar. Monsieur Benamar has created three-section cordon bleu menu that includes dishes of French, Russian and Japanese cuisine. Moscow has already highly appreciated our “fish table” compiling big trays with fresh fish and seafood regularly placed on display.

It is appreciated to try chef’s masterful dishes while enjoying the view of the old Moscow.You can see the best panorama of the city in the summer from our spacious and bright terrace. When it is cold outside you may also dine in front of our floor to ceiling windows with the view on the Christ the Savior Cathedral. In this case the outside picture cease to be just a view, it becomes a part of the restaurant’s interior and brings here new associations and even slightly changes the flavor of the meal.
