Starting the year with healthy habits can be rewarding. At CERU, we are dedicated to making your Veganuary or Dry January experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Our restaurants in central London is the perfect place to explore new tastes and maintain your wellness goals. Join us this January to savour the best that CERU has to offer.

Celebrate Veganuary with Bold and Vibrant Eastern Mediterranean-Inspired Flavours

Embracing Veganuary is a fantastic way to start the year with healthy, plant-based choices. At CERU, our vegan dishes are packed with vibrant, flavourful Mediterranean flavours, making your Veganuary journey both tasty and exciting.

Start your meal with a trio of flavorful dips: our Houmous, enriched with extra virgin olive oil and a touch of green chilli; the CERU Hamara, a tangy red pepper dip infused with walnuts and pomegranate molasses; and the Fadi dip, made from courgettes for a smooth, creamy texture. These dips are perfect for sharing and bursting with vibrant flavors.

Our salads are great starters too together with our dips! The Artichoke, Green Peas, and Baby Onions Salad offers a warm, comforting experience with a zesty ginger and turmeric dressing, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Meanwhile, the Crisp Apple, Mint, and Pomegranate Salad delights with a refreshing medley of fruits, nuts, and a hint of green chilli. Pomegranate, rich in antioxidants, supports heart health and digestion, making these plant-based dishes not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. These fresh, vibrant dishes make for a truly enjoyable and nourishing start to your meal.

Vegetarian options like Sticky Roasted Baby Aubergines, dressed with date syrup and tamari, or the Spiced Warm Cauliflower and Walnut, adorned with pomegranate and spring onion, ensure your meal is both fulfilling and flavorful. The CERU Green Side Salad, with Lamb’s leaf lettuce, soft herbs, pickled cucumber, warm spices, pumpkin seeds, and a lemon oil dressing, adds a fresh and vibrant touch. Side orders such as Spice-Roasted Potatoes and Pan-Fried Tender Stem Broccoli with toasted almonds perfectly complement your meal. Finish your dining experience with a refreshing Lemon Sorbet for a sweet yet light conclusion.

Enjoy Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Dry January

For those participating in Dry January, CERU offers a variety of refreshing non-alcoholic drinks that perfectly complement our vibrant Eastern Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Our famous homemade lemonades are a standout, crafted with fresh ingredients and our signature flavored syrups for a truly unique experience.

Our founder, Barry Hilton, created this special recipe after being inspired by his travels across the Eastern Mediterranean. Made with only the freshest ingredients, each lemonade is served chilled and bursting with flavor. Ask us what we’ve crafted for you today! This season, we’re offering a delicious blend of honey, basil, fresh lemons, and a hint of sea salt—an irresistible, refreshing drink that’s simply too good to miss!

Our freshly made mocktails are a favourite among our guests, offering a refreshing and flavourful alternative to traditional cocktails. Try our Orange & Ginger Mojito, a delightful blend of ginger syrup, fresh orange juice, lime, and aromatic mint. Or indulge in the Passion Fruit Mojito, featuring vibrant fresh passion fruit mixed with lime and mint. Each mocktail is carefully crafted to deliver a satisfying, bold taste that pairs perfectly with any meal, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a non-alcoholic yet indulgent drink.

If you prefer a beer experience, our alcohol-free options are excellent choices. Reef Point Lager by Big Drop Brewing is a standout. This soft, golden lager with a hint of citrus is alcohol-free and vegan, ensuring it meets your lifestyle choices without compromising taste.
