About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
Nestled within the bluestone walls of the 150-year-old Terminus in North Fitzroy, Cinder by Jake Furst is a celebration of cooking with flame and fire.

Rich hues of teal and burnt orange beautifully offset exposed bluestone, in a space that combines casual fine dining with the warmth of traditional hospitality.

At the heart of the kitchen lies the mighty wood-fired Josper Grill, delivering the unmistakable qualities of cooking over fire to a modern Australian menu.

We welcome all people for all occasions. For the brave and curious, pull up a seat at the Chef's Table where there are no menus and no two visits are the same.

    I was looking forward to dining at Cinder. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Firstly, it was very noisy. Made it very difficult to have a conversation with the other 5 people in my party. The food was not too bad except for my pork chop from the specials menu. ie the aged meat menu; their specialty. It was described as a pork chop with a caramel sauce. The pork was way over-cooked and very dry. The caramel sauce was just a sweet syrup with no hint of caramel. Very ordinary and not worth the price. To be fair, I would return to try the steak. But if not for the selection of dry aged meat, I wouldn't bother.

    I really enjoyed the slow cooked beef. The service was also good as where the scallops for entree. The lemon tart was a crowd pleaser

    Great steak and excellent choice of sides including amazing field mushrooms. Service was friendly and attentive. Choose wisely as not cheap but better than decent value.
