Pop-up restaurant experience The Aperture is getting a brick-and-mortar in Walnut Hills, the eatery announced on its Instagram. The restaurant is slated to open in spring 2020 in the historic Paramount Building at Gilbert Avenue and E. McMillan Street.
Chef and owner Jordan Anthony-Brown will highlight the "techniques, flavors, and ingredients from countries such as Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Israel, and light influence from North African traditions such as Egypt and Morocco," says the website. Think seasonal, simple and shareable mezze.
The menu will "draw from a few key culinary influences that are rooted in simple cooking, particularly the Mediterranean and Levantine traditions, and the American South, leaning heavily on seasonal produce as the fundamental driver of our cooking," reads the site. "As part of this, we’ll challenge ourselves through techniques such as curing, pickling, smoking, fermentation, and most critically, live-fire cooking, all in the pursuit of developing dishes that may be somewhat complex in their inception, but simple and rustic in their presentation."
You can read more in depth about their food concept and inspiration on The Aperture site. Follow their Instagram — a grid of photos of delicious-looking dishes and descriptions — for updates about the opening.

Well, the cat is definitively out of the bag. It is our extreme pleasure to announce that, after many months of work, we have officially signed on for The Aperture’s future home - the corner of the Paramount Square building in Walnut Hills. We’ve been eager to put this out into the world for some time now, and take the news out of the grapevine. It’s an understatement to say that we feel extremely fortunate to have secured such a great space, and are grateful for all of the people that have put in many hours of work to help reach this milestone. We’re excited for the opportunity to join the great Walnut Hills community, alongside all of its great businesses, organizations, and people. We’ll celebrate this briefly before getting back to work, as we turn our focus toward preparing for the construction phase. There will be plenty of information and updates to share across the next several months, but for now just know that we feel a deep sense of gratitude for all of the support and encouragement that’s come our way. Truly. And don’t worry, we’ll post pictures of some food soon. Miles to go before we sleep. ________________________ #theaperturecinci
