The new restaurant will be larger than Cinder's original site in Belsize Village, which launched on the first day the Covid lockdown lifted in 2021, but be conceptually similar with a menu of dishes that take influences from Peru, Japan, Italy, France and Greece, and feature ingredients cooked on a Josper grill.
Offering a range of set menus as well as the standard a la carte menus for larger group bookings, dishes to feature at Cinder's new restaurant will include cedar plank salmon with pickled cucumber and shallots; chicken thighs with confit lemon and garlic; and Mastelo cheese with a Kalamata olive glaze and oregano.
There will also be a selection of raw dishes such as seabass ceviche with cucumber, jalapeno and coriander; tuna carpaccio with black beer ponzu, radish and yuzu tobiko; and scallop tartar with miso and spring onion.
The wine list will be overseen by London-based importer The Modest Merchant.
Cinder St John's Wood will boast 46 covers in its upstairs dining room with both booth and table seating available. There will also be a 20-seat bar area and a 12 cover PDR.
The restaurant's interiors will be overseen by Adam Night of Nefarious Design and include old tiles discovered when the building work started.
