A Levantine restaurant bringing the unique flavours of the Middle East to South Kensington.

Inspired by the flavours of the eastern Mediterranean coast, Ceru brings its own authentic, yet contemporary, spin on the traditional cuisine from the region. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu offers a selection of classic mezze alongside grilled meats, healthy, vibrant salads and desserts. It's a casual, vibrant option that started out as a series of pop-ups, set in a colourful and cosy space.

Go for a casual bite on a stool alongside the open kitchen, or grab a booth and make a meal of it - with their sharing-style dishes, a celebration of vibrant Levantine cuisine. Keen pricing, generous portions ensure Ceru's likeability, while Greek, Turkish and Lebanese wines by the glass invite experimentation. Co-founded by husband and wife team Barry and Patricia Hilton in 2014, Ceru’s vibrant cuisine is inspired by the duo’s extensive travels in the Levant region.
