In the heart of nature, this is the most bucolic restaurant in the area: a series of small chalets opening onto a large square of greenery, where a few tables and chairs under umbrellas welcome morning snacks, lunches with friends, and snacks just off the beach. The menu echoes this simplicity, offering a choice of mixed salads, vegetarian dishes, Mauritian fare and sweet treats. On-site: lounge-library and, in a pretty garden shed, Vanilla Grocer: grocery store selling healthy products, homemade cakes, freshly sourced produce and more.

Members' reviews on VANILLA CAFÉ
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Nestled in the heart of Vanilla Village, the Vanilla Café offers an eclectic selection of seating areas - it’s not uncommon to see people working on tablets and laptop devices.
On occasion, there is live music which adds to the ambience on weekends.
It’s complimented by a menu featuring eats and treats for all preferences and budgets - vegan, vegetarian, sugar and meat lovers etc. and a kids’ menu. Occasionally, some items on the menu are not available.
The coffee is fresh and the food is delicious. Their selection of cakes are baked by a local baker - all delicious. Their iced tea is worth a try too - very refreshing!
Whilst the service may be a little slow, it’s not bothersome as the venue is relaxing and all the waitrons are amicable.
There are also some friendly cats and some chickens around for the kids to amuse themselves. It gives the place a farm feel.
Definitely worth regular visits!
On a positive note, the breakfast menu offered a variety of options, and the food I ordered was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a pleasant dining experience overall. The café's cozy atmosphere and tasteful decor also added to the charm of the place.
Despite the coffee falling short of my expectations, I would still recommend Vanilla Café Restaurant for breakfast due to its inviting ambiance and delectable food. Perhaps they can work on improving the coffee to make it a truly exceptional dining destination.
One of the most beautiful and tranquil restaurants to sit at and enjoy a meal.
Service staff are courteous, professional and pleasant.
Please support this little gem of a venue in the Black River area.
