Nestled within the bluestone walls of the 150-year-old Terminus in Fitzroy North, Cinder is a celebration of dry-aged meat, fresh seasonal produce and cooking over 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.

We ordered a bunch of entree and “medium” size dishes so we could try more items without getting full on just one mains. Everything was beautifully presented and the food came within a reasonable amount of time.
Delicious and rich flavours and with three entrees and three “mediums” we were comfortably full. We also ordered three side dishes which actually ended up being too much, but if you’re starving, go for it!
They also seem to consistently hit the mark with their house red wine.
Nice atmosphere but give yourself some extra time to park. Street parking can be at a premium and you may just have to park 5min walk away.

My partner and I had the best steaks in Melbourne! The service and recommendations were impeccable, leading us to find one of our favourite moscatos. We had our first cube roll here and it was divine, we cannot stop raving about how amazing the steak and sides at Cinder are! This venue suits any budget however the splurge is definitely worthwhile.

Went for an old mans birthday lunch today with family, party of 5.
One word: Exceptional
We opted for the Chefs table fixed price menu and couldn’t have been more happy.
Great service from the team and food was absolutely delicious.
Lesson: dont eat too much of the great focaccia, because we were almost full by the time 9+ wagyu and flounder mains landed.
That said we also had trout, scallops, lamb lollypops, porkbelly and numerous accompanying dishes. Delicious.
We still managed to clean up the 3 different maccaron based desserts at the end, whiskey caramel, passionfruit,cherry! , and a doggy bag was sorted for for the mains.
I couldn’t recommend the experience enough.
Thanks for a great afternoon.

Sunday 3-course Lunch $55
– Basil Focaccia, confit tomato & garlic butter
– Coal baked Canadian scallop, Café de Paris ⭐️
– Amore Burrata, green olive salsa
– Grass fed beef, wild mushroom XO sauce ⭐️
– Jospered Market Fish, garlic & parsley butter ⭐️
– Sides: Mac & Cheese, Roasted Potatoes⭐️, Lettuce

$55 for a 3 course meal with 9 dishes is honestly incredible. Cinder runs this every Sunday afternoon and for both quality and quantity it is an absolute bargain. Everything was well cooked and well seasoned, and dining in such a beautiful space made the experience even better. My only small wish was for the bread to be a little more moist.

We had one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time at Cinder Restaurant. Everything was super tasty, the atmosphere was amazing, and we had the honour of being served by Chef Raphael Oka, a Michelin-starred chef. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely mind-blowing! By far one of the best stand houses in Melbourne. Very friendly and polite staff. Outstanding design and atmosphere. Magnificent menus and food options. Everything in the menu indiscriminately ranges from starter to desert taste out of this world. Words can’t do justice in describing how amazing this place was and I highly recommend it to everyone.

We had such a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, and the staff were so warm and friendly throughout our visit. It was my partner’s birthday and they were kind to decorate desert with candle. Highly recommend this place for both the amazing food and the fantastic service!

Look… Don’t get me wrong, I want to give 5 stars. But given the prices of the menu items, I expected more.
The food was amazing. Just a couple of nit-picks..
I ordered a Cube Roll steak, which now I know means ‘Scotch Fillet’. However, it was a $62 steak so I expected amazing things. It was certainly a delicious steak which I ordered medium-rare, and it was. However it was very very chewy and under seasoned. I had to ask for salt.
We also ordered the medium plate of Calamari. I was shattered that it wasn’t a fries calamari, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious! However being a ‘medium’ plate, I thought it would have been a decent size. Nope! It was tiny…and we ordered it to share!
On the topic of Dining Experience, i know this place is ‘fine dining’ but honestly I think it can do better. We arrived at 7pm and we were starving. The staff don’t give you the food menus right off the bat – they come later. By the time we ordered food as a group of 6, it was 8.30pm! Also the waitress just seemed like she couldn’t be bothered and also forgot to ask how we wanted our steaks cooked and had to come and ask multiple times. Also the food menus was wayyyy too confusing, especially for a group of 6. Please simplify!
So yes, overall slightly underwhelmed but I do think I’d return and try some other food

6 of us went for dinner and were impressed. The staff were excellent, informative and polite. The food was great. I had a dry aged steak cooked to perfection. Desert was generous. And to wine list had something for everyone. We all remarked what good value it was when the bill arrived. I would go again

I’ve been to Cinders a number of times and it has never disappointed. We usually order the steak, oysters, scallops, and a selection of sides, and the experience has always been excellent when dining as a couple or small group.
On this occasion, I recommended Cinders for a special family celebration. Unfortunately, because we were a larger group, we were required to have a set menu. The set menu didn’t showcase what makes the restaurant special — apart from the steak, there was very little on offer that reflects the quality I’ve experienced in the past. The fish was dry and lacked flavour, and overall the meal felt underwhelming.
For this reason, I’ve given three stars. I wouldn’t recommend Cinders for larger groups where a set menu is enforced. That said, the service was lovely, as always.
