Our Story

Rooted in place. Guided by fire.

Fresh herbs and ingredients

Ember & Oak was born from a simple philosophy: transformation through fire. We build our menus around the micro-seasons of the region, sourcing directly from local growers, day-boat fishermen, and responsible farmers.

Our kitchen relies on the primal techniques of open flame, smoking, and fermentation to elevate humble ingredients. It is a contemporary approach grounded in timeless methods, resulting in a constantly evolving dining experience.

The Ember Experience

An evening designed
to unfold slowly.

Our tasting menu is a reflection of the moment. We invite you to surrender to the rhythm of the kitchen as we present a sequence of dishes that highlight the season's finest ingredients.

The progression moves gracefully from delicate snacks to robust, fire-touched courses, concluding with refreshing, modern desserts.

Executive Chef

Adrian Vale

With a background rooted in classic technique, Chef Adrian returned to Southeast Asia with a singular focus: exploring the intersection of regional ingredients and the primal element of fire.

His philosophy strips away unnecessary complexity, allowing the natural quality of the produce and the transformative power of smoke and embers to take center stage.

“Technique should support the ingredient, never compete with it.”
