Slated for a Valentine’s Day launch, ZIMA Notting Hill will be located just off Notting Hill Gate on Blenheim Crescent.
The 45-cover will follow the lead of its older sibling bringing ‘a fresh and modern twist on traditional Eastern European and Russian cuisine’.
Dishes will include Royal Siberian Black caviar and Salmon Roe Res caviar with blinis; Russian salad with chicken and salmon roe; pirozhki with beef, chicken or cabbage; and black pelmeni with salmon and cod.
In addition to the core menu, the new restaurant will collaborate with high-profile Russian and Eastern European chefs.
The first collaboration will take place this spring with Michelin-starred Russian chef Evgeny Vikentev.
ZIMA was launched on Soho’s Frith Street in 2016 by high-profile Russian chef Alexei Zimin.
Late last year it was reported that Zimin had been found dead in a hotel in Belgrade.
Zimin was a successful food writer as well as a chef contributing to various magazines, hosting culinary TV shows and authoring numerous books.
He launched a number of restaurants in Russia throughout his career including Ragout, Moscow’s first chef’s table restaurant.
