What a gem. Small intimate restaurant. Every dish we chose was excellent and our waiter Arthur couldn't have been nicer. Would thoroughly recommend booking a meal here for something a bit different and unique.

Cinder isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a stage for fire-kissed flavours and confident cooking. Tucked into a quiet corner of Belsize Park, this intimate brasserie (just 18 covers inside) delivers bold Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a smoky twist, all wrapped in a setting that feels part neighbourhood haunt, part chef’s playground. Atmosphere The vibe is relaxed and convivial—like dining in someone’s stylish front room. Tables line a long banquette, and the outdoor seating adds a breezy charm on warmer nights. It’s compact, yes, but never cramped. The energy is warm, the crowd local, and the playlist just loud enough to keep things lively without drowning conversation. Food & Drink Chef Jake Finn’s menu is flame-forward, with nearly everything touched by the Josper grill. Expect char, depth, and clever pairings: Grilled bread with confit garlic tahini & burnt tomato salsa – smoky, creamy, and addictive Lamb loin chops with yoghurt, maple & sage – tender, aromatic, and beautifully balanced Courgettes with stracciatella, pine nuts & sour cherry molasses – a standout vegetarian dish with texture and tang Cod or sea bream with fennel & radish – fresh, flaky, and kissed by smoke Crème brûlée & lemon posset – classic, clean, and quietly indulgent Drinks are well-considered: cocktails are punchy, wines are fairly priced by the glass, and the list leans classical with a few surprises.
