Voices of Experience
Every table has a story. Here are some of our favourites.
"Vela redefines what a New York dining experience should be. Every course was a revelation — bold flavours delivered with extraordinary precision. Unmissable."
Alexandra Morel
Food Critic, Bon Appétit
"We celebrate every anniversary at Vela. The wagyu tenderloin is the finest I've ever had. The service is impeccable without being stiff. Truly special."
James Thornton
Regular Guest
"The atmosphere alone is worth the visit, but the food takes it to another level entirely. That chocolate fondant will haunt me in the very best way possible."
