If they say all that jazz then this place is worth it. Driving to qutub area is exhausting but ‘Cherie one’ qutub, mehrauli is all worth it when you sit down and look around.

The restaurant is epitome of romance, class and old world charm. Inside the restaurant the furniture is comfy yet smart. The walls are pale and fixed with large French windows to bring the outside in. there is enough distance between tables to have private conversation so choose this restaurant to tell that special someone about your feelings. The best time to visit the restaurant is for a lazy brunch or late evening. Lighted by sun or by lights this place is best of the both worlds. The cuisine served here is European so expect flair and beautiful plating.
The European food gives a lot of complex flavours and clever usage of fresh ingredients in a simple way. The combinations are unique and are blended expertly. Cherie’s appetizers section is very good. Butter basted scallops, pan fried chicken, steamed duck arincini, sumac dusted kibbeh, Mediterranean falafel, parmesan & bocconcini tartlet all are unique and fantastically prepared. House’s wood fire oven’s thin crust pizza are very popular choice amongst the customers. They absolutely adore the smoky flavour of the pizzas and scrumptious toppings. Pappardelle pasta, linguini, ricotta & pumpkin ravioli, cherry tomato ragout, chicken & wood smoked butternut ravioli graces the pasta section. Grilled part serves rosemary tenderloin, thyme & garlic chicken breast and likes of Cajun crusted basa.

The desserts are as creative and interesting as their savoury courses.

The music is well chosen and matches the surroundings. The place is expensive so choose it for special occasions or simply because you want to try good food with the bonus of the ambience.
