Good Bathurst restaurant. The food is quite nice, maybe not quite as good as the money you pay however. They have a good range of meals, desserts and sweat snacks to choose from.

The actual restaurant is very nice, great atmosphere and comfortable seating. I would say it's one of the best in Bathurst for seating and atmosphere.

Quick service at lunch time & good value. I used to go here often for a coffee after work & gluten free cake, but they no longer open for afternoon teach which is a shame. Good for a meal when you need to be quick, lovely decor, gluten free available.Lovely desserts!

Approximate cost: $12

Went to tea tonight with three friends.Food , service and atmosphere was excellent. We were very disappointed at the end of the night when we went to pay. They had no split bills on the menu but when asked about this a few weeks earlier the person in charge said we could pay separately( we just couldnt have 4 separate bills at the table)The person was in charge was there again tonight , and she was visably displaying quite a lot of agression to the waitresses . Actually she was downright rude to all the staff. So rude that we all said that we wouldnt be able to work there and probably would not go back because of the person in charge. IT was disgusting.

Really nice venue, decor is great. Great big function room out the back. Food is best described as Thai/Australian. Some really great Thai dishes, but not to rival an exclusive Thai restaurant.

WOW!! Certainly is the best restaurant this side of the mountains!! I had the Barramundi and my hubby had the sizzling seafood and WOW both great dishes!! Dessert was fantastic and service was prompt and efficient, Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and really nice :) Compliments to the chef and the staff!! Highly recommended for a good feed at a good price.. Cannot fault them and last time I went I had the pad Thai and Oh my goodness it was amazing!! LOVE it!! Will be back for sure :)

I have eaten at Vanilla Bean several times and have never disappointed. It's a great feed for a great price. The atmosphere is lovely - for dinner and lunch. There are great specials for lunch and the deserts are very yummy.
Don't pass up the opportunity to try the Barramundi - I highly recommend it!

Excellent food and great service. Always very busy but able to accomodate extra clients. When we have people from out of town this is the first place we take them for a meal.

Had lunch with a friend. We were greeted at the door and quickly shown to our table. Menus were brought as well as a pitcher of water. After being left to view the menu for about 5 minutes the waitress return for our orders. Our meals came within 10 - 15 minutes.

Food was very good.

Approximate cost: $20
