CERU South Kensington

The Queen’s Gate could be under five feet of snow and it would still feel like summer at Ceru. It could be the Aztec upholstery or it could be the jolly smiles of the chefs in the open kitchen. But our money’s on it being the modern Levantine dishes that give Ceru that vacay feel. It’s the kind of place where you bring a whole gaggle of friends to share as many plates as possible. Hell, bring a bunch of strangers, they’ll love it. The all-day menu is full of seafood, fritters, halloumi, and spiced meats. If it goes with mint yoghurt, it’s on the menu.
