Vora Restaurant European - European restaurant in Wichita - 3252 E Douglas Ave, USA

We had brunch this morning here. It was great! Friendly service, good cappuccino and lots of booths for more intimate conversations. We had the pancakes and the salmon Benedict. Both were good size portions with great flavors. I recommend this place if you want more of an experience for brunch versus just eating eggs and bacon at a diner.

Tracy was my server and she was great . Very knowledgeable with the wine selection which is definitely good to know she helped me out with an appetizer and some main dishes she's been there for a couple years so she knows what she's talking about and it was awesome the atmosphere was great the ambiance was great the only thing was they wouldn't let me take any pictures of the kitchen which I don't understand why from the dining area not from the kitchen... Every place I've been in has let me take pictures.. but I will say that the chef said he would invite me back at a time when he felt comfortable for me to take pictures cuz I know they were extremely swamped that night so I do appreciate that gesture thank you to the head CHEF... Definitely five ⭐

It's definitely a nice restaurant. Had to google practically everything on the menu because all the items had fancy ingredients I didn't know. The food was good, but nothing was mind-blowing for what we ordered. Would recommend making reservations. It was very busy on Saturday when I went.

I must say Vora was something special. The location of the restaurant was in a nice part of downtown Wichita. It has outdoor seating, but we decided to sit inside because of the direct sunlight that time of day. We decided to eat an early dinner about 4 pm on a Thursday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty at that time. The service was very good. We mentioned we were there for our anniversary and decided to just eat some small plates and split a pizza. We ordered a mushroom dish that was very tasty we also ordered the mussels. The mussels weren't that good that day and mentioned it to the waitress. She was kind enough to take it away and remove it from our bill. We ordered the margarita pizza and it was really good. We had some cocktails, specifically some old fashioned's, and enjoyed the rest of our time there. We were surprised when they brought out a glass of ice cream with a huge candle that reminded me of a sparkler. That was a nice touch. I don't know if I'll ever be back to Wichita but this is a place I would recommend for sure.

The restaurant was a perfect place for a date night! If you are looking for a truly delicious dish, I highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Tortellini. It was DIVINE and such an elevated take on a seafood pasta dish. Our waitress was top knotch and we definitely be returning. Thank you for such a great experience!

From the drinks to the calamari appetizer, and the amazing entrees, Vora knocked it out of the park. If you order a pasta, I suggest you add salmon. It has a wonderful smokey flavor to it. One of the best things I've ever tasted.

Vora is a nice sit down place in the college hill area. Indoor and outdoor seating. College hill is a fun area of Wichita to spend an evening. People come to Vora dressed up a little more than an average date night. Very modern European feel inside. We called ahead to make a reservation. Didn’t have to wait long and we went at 7:30 on a Saturday night. The staff was very attentive to us. The waitress checked on us all the time, which I surely appreciate. She recommended wines that were popular and also her personal favorites (we asked). The burrata appetizer comes with bread and along with salami, it does have cheese and a really good pesto that I enjoyed. They do bring you bread to enjoy while you wait. Calamari was cooked great and tasted really good. My entree was lasagna and I was impressed with it. Came out nice and hot and tasted very fresh as promised. There is also a bar you can sit at and enjoy a meal if you don’t want a table. Lights are a little dim and the mood is nice for a romantic night out. A lot of birthdays were celebrated. Just let them know and they’ll bring out a firework candle with vanilla ice cream. Very nice touch to celebrate a birthday by the restaurant. Overall I’d definitely take or recommend someone to go eat there if they are visiting Wichita.

We had a very enjoyable evening at Vora. Our food was good if not entirely outstanding but the service was spectacular and the drinks delicious. Vora is a great place for a special occasion.
