A Taste of the Eastern Mediterranean - The Story Behind CERU
A Taste of the Eastern Mediterranean: The Story Behind CERU
At CERU, every dish tells a story — inspired by our travels across the Eastern Mediterranean, where food, family, and connection are at the heart of everyday life. From lively spice markets to peaceful coastal villages, these experiences have shaped a menu that brings together authentic flavours and modern, health-conscious cooking.
Food That Sparks Conversation
CERU is built around the idea that food should bring people together. Our dishes are designed for sharing, encouraging connection and conversation around the table. Each recipe draws on traditional Eastern Mediterranean ingredients and spices, reimagined in a way that’s fresh, contemporary, and packed with flavour.
A Healthier Approach — Naturally Gluten-Free
Our approach to food is simple: make it delicious, make it healthy, and make it inclusive. With founders who follow a gluten-free lifestyle, CERU was created with this in mind — which is why nearly the entire menu is naturally gluten-free, with the exception of our pita bread.
Whether you’re gluten-free, vegetarian, or just someone who loves vibrant food made with care, there’s something for you at CERU.
Fresh Ingredients, Local Sourcing, Big Flavour
We believe that real food starts with real ingredients. That’s why we prioritise fresh, locally sourced produce and work with suppliers who share our passion for quality. It’s about more than just flavour — it’s about supporting local markets and building a community around food that’s good for you and the world around you.
Fresh Ingredients, Local Sourcing, Big Flavour
From the moment you walk through the doors, CERU is designed to feel like an escape. The bright, Mediterranean-inspired décor, the aroma of fresh herbs and spices, and the warm, friendly atmosphere all work together to transport you — even if just for lunch.
With locations in Farringdon, South Kensington, and Queensway, CERU brings a slice of the Eastern Mediterranean to the heart of London.
CERU is more than just a restaurant. It’s a celebration of flavour, culture, and community — a place where people come together to share food, stories, and a little piece of the Mediterranean way of life.
