The wine list at Mere more than matches the high standards
of the food thanks to co-founder and sommelier David. After
spending 15 years at Le Gavroche curating their magnificent
wine list, he has brought his skills home to Mere. With well
known and loved wines from both Europe and further afield,
as well as a reserve selection with distinct and unique vintages,
there is something to suit all palates and budgets. David has
also carefully hand-selected the premium spirits and liqueurs
on offer at Mere, predominantly from France and New Zealand. Lunch Monday to Saturday 12:00 - 14.00

The beautiful interiors of Mere are the work of leading
architecture and design company, Softroom. Playing with a
colour palette of rich blues and greys and accents of deep yellow,
the space is calm and welcoming. Mere is set over two floors,
a ground level bar with sumptuous navy velvet sofas and dark
marble tables, and a bright, airy basement restaurant flooded
with natural light thanks to a large glass atrium. A traditional
Samoan siapo or tapa cloth dominates the main dining room
wall, designed and made especially for Mere by the artist and
cousin of Monica, Solomon Daniel, in New Zealand.
