Cerise accommodates relaxed and informal dining and has two private alcoves, perfect for that romantic tête à tête or private party.
Our staff are committed to making your dining experience unique. Recent reviews show this dedication. “I think what really makes Cerise special is the team that works there. They are all passionate about what they do and keen to take the time to talk and share this passion with their guests.
