More details

Ember is a relaxed and approachable bistro that draws inspiration from a multitude of cuisine styles, playing homage to the nomadic lifestyle of travellers.

Esteemed New Zealand Chef James Kenny is at the helm of Ember’s culinary offering, intended to welcome everyone and their mothers through its doors. From scampi toast with pineapple hot sauce or wagyu steak with Provence style accompaniments, Kenny and head chef Aaron Hyett are committed to keeping the dining experience fun whilst not compromising on technique and flavour. 

Leading hospitality design studio, Izzard Design has transformed the 144-seat restaurant which offers all-day dining where breakfasts, long lunches, after work dinks and pre-theatre dinners flow from sunrise to sunset, with the option of booking an exclusive space for groups. Ember is an easy 5-minute walk to Auckland’s theatre district and is perfectly placed for pre-and post-theatre food and drinks. 

The name Ember signifies more than flames or glowing coals, it represents the subtle, inviting glow that radiates from a shared meal, a memorable conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere. Ember sets out to embody the warmth of togetherness, the heart of hospitality and the spirit of slow, soulful dining.
