There's not much to say except that this restaurant is simply phenomenal.

What Anonym dislikes about Mere:
The cocktails were the best thing at the restaurant followed closely by the cheddar tart. I am not saying the food was bad, just surprising average given the very limited menu and celebrity chef involvement. Also it was my husbands birthday, which they were notified of in advance, and apart from a happy birthday greeting at the door… nothing. I was not expecting much but just thought (as per every other restaurant) h... View all feedback.

I have to say this place offers great value fine dining style lunch. I ordered a bottle of 1978 Bordeaux red and it was well kept. I'll try their dinner next time.
Fantastic new restaurant. The bar was a nice place to start for cocktails, the barman was very helpful suggesting drinks we may like and he was right! Dinner was stunning, everything was very well done from the food and wine through to the service and decor of the restaurant Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special meal.
We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The flavors were rich, and the unique combinations of ingredients truly reflect Monica Galleti's culinary style.
Staff were amazing, but the vegetarian tasting menu was really underwhelming. 3 of the courses were whipped dairy-based products (that tasted very similar) and it generally just felt very basic and lazy for what was a pretty pricey menu, especially when compared to other Michelin starred reataurants. For the final course they also didn 't bother to glaze one of the desserts, so one of our party was served a bizarre, lumpy, un-tempered chocolate dome that really stood out against the rest. To top it off, we were charged for the coffees at the end, alongside the birthday chocolates. All in all, a really disappointing experience given that we 'd heard good things.
Busy restaurant that's has been designed well enough not to be overly noisy. Some impressive cocktails (loved the haka) and the food is prepared to perfection with plates leaving you full but not bursting. The beef was amazing and loved the hokey pokey. Another place which is sure to be revisited.
The Mere Restaurant, helmed by the talented Monica Galetti, offers an exceptional dining experience that captivates from start to finish. Celebrated for its intricately crafted dishes infused with South Pacific flavors, the restaurant combines high-end culinary art with warm hospitality. Guests rave about the tasting menu, with standout creations like hand-dived scallops and the renowned cheese dessert, often compared to Michelin-star standards. The attentive yet unobtrusive staff, paired with thoughtful wine pairings, elevate the meal. Each visit promises delicious surprises, making The Mere a must-experience destination for food lovers seeking unforgettable moments.

Delicious tasting card. my favorite is the cheddar mousse, rich and yet balanced. pollock is also an interesting dish, wrapped with spinat inside and steamed together with the fish. the texture is delicate and taste is delicate. the steak court can be stronger, although it doesn't prove wrong with him, I just wish it can be a little more, more creative or bolder. a good overall experience.
There's not much to say except that this restaurant is simply phenomenal. It is clear that Monica has learned from Michel Roux Jr, but she has managed to create a culinary experience that surpasses her teacher in many aspects. The dishes are perfectly created and balanced, with a South Pacific twist. The kitchen is well-conceived and the flavors are complex. The staff is attentive but not intrusive, and they do everything right. The cheese dessert is on par with, if not better than, the famous cheese souffle from Le Gavroche. Monica, her husband, and their team deserve all the praise they receive. I can't wait to come back!
We had the 6 cursor menu. we loved every bite. the wine pairing added additional aromen. it was a very good choice. in addition, we must mention great service of sebastien.
A culinary joy that everyone should experience. my son and I ordered the taste menu and although all our dishes were exemplary, presented to an amazingly high standard and all tasting divine, the "hand dived scallop" with cannellini and black pudding ragout was the wonder of our evening culinary experience. so they cook scallops; I never wanted the court to end. all the workers who worked at the sea were presented immaculately, attentive to our needs, patient and courteous. They never stopped smiling all night and every court they presented came with a complete explanation of all things and how the court was prepared. we found this very beautiful. I fully understand how some people can think the prices are high, but for this level of demanding, high-end cuisine, I feel that the cost is balanced and fair. my son and I were privileged enough to meet both monica and david at the end of the evening and to find them both welcoming, charming and generous with their time. it surprised me to learn that the “Mere Restaurant” has no Michelin star! However, I feel with this consistent level of gastronomic excellence, it will only be a matter of time before they are all rewarded for their hard work. we would like to extend our gratitude to monica, david and all their employees at the “The Mere” for a perfect evening.
The food at this restaurant was exceptional, scoring a perfect 10 out of 10. We tried the tasting menu and every course was beautifully presented and delicious (especially the pigeon dish). We also chose the wine pairing, and the Sommelier provided excellent recommendations. To top it off, we received chocolates and a birthday card as a special touch. The service was wonderful, with each staff member being friendly and polite. I highly recommend this restaurant.
