“A tribute to my favourite restaurants in the whole world.” See photos of the starters, main course and desert on the past menu. Some actual menus are shown at the end of the video.
I made this video during the coronavirus lockdown, on the other side of the world, being only able to leave the house for 4hrs per week, a time when I could reflect on some of my favourite experiences from “normal” times. The Vanilla Pod has always delighted me and my guests. Not only on a culinary level, but service also being near perfect. This is not a restaurant for people who like to be interrupted with “How is everything?” The bathroom spotlessly maintained. The menu is always abundant with near-impossible choices between tempting dishes. So it she bread basket. But the vanilla bread is not to be missed.
This is an independent video with independent review and opinions. No incentive was offered or given and this video was not made in cooperation with, or with any solicitation by, the restaurant or anyone connected to it.
