Wood-fired kitchen & natural wine

Fire, smoke & good company.

A neighbourhood kitchen built around the flame. Seasonal plates, a wall of natural wine, and rooms made for lingering.

Tonight's flame is lit. Tables from 5:30pm.

Our story

Everything touches the fire.

We started with a single wood-fired oven and a simple idea: let great produce meet real flame and get out of the way. Six years on, Ember & Oak is where the neighbourhood gathers — for a glass after work, a long Sunday lunch, or the kind of dinner you don't want to end.

Everything is cooked over coals and served in rooms that glow. No fuss. Just fire, seasonal plates and people we're glad to see.

The best fish I've had in Brisbane, full stop. Booked online at 6, sitting down by 7:30.

We took the back room for Dad's 60th. Effortless to book, and the night was perfect.

Warm, unpretentious, and everything off the coals sings. Our new local.
