Vermilion

Vermilion relaunched on Friday, July 10 - this 17-year-old River North restaurant, known for its innovative melding of Indian and Latin cuisines is featuring an extensive new menu, a redone bright new interior and gazebo patio, and sustained advocacy for equity in the culinary industry, with a new team. Coalescing two seemingly disparate Indian and Latin cuisines at Vermilion is driven by two core underpinnings. The first is the shared historical cross-influences and migratory patterns across continents that intertwine Persian, Indian, Moorish, Spanish and Latin American cuisines– a topic that founder Rohini can wax on about! The second is the plethora of shared ingredients across India and Latin America based on geographical latitudes. There is a reason a Mexican marketplace is a spitting image of one in India with its overlap of mango, tamarind, lychee, guava, rice, beans, plantains, corn, cilantro, cumin, saffron and so much more.
