Ember

Welcome to Ember

Local. Seasonal. Simple. Always soulful.

Step into Ember, where dining is more than a meal—it’s an experience of warmth, flavour, and connection. Here, taste meets tranquillity, and comfort meets creativity. Ember isn’t about flames, but about the gentle glow of shared tables, heartfelt hospitality, and conversations that linger long after the last bite.

At Ember, the spirit of slow, soulful dining shines. Every visit rekindles the joy of good company and makes you feel at home.

Our menu celebrates global inspiration, guided by New Zealand’s finest seasonal ingredients and the artistry of our chefs. Esteemed New Zealand Chef James Kenny, together with Head Chef Aaron Hyett, leads with a philosophy: “Cook with care and finesse, with respect and understanding for every ingredient.”

From scampi toast with pineapple hot sauce to wagyu steak with Provence-style accompaniments, James and Aaron craft dishes that are playful yet precise, indulgent yet refined—ensuring every plate is a balance of technique, flavour, and fun.

Enjoy two hours of complimentary parking when you dine with us.
