Ember Yard

The West End


The parillas of Spain, asadors of the Basque country and BBQs of Italy inspire the food at this stylish restaurant, decked out in polished timber, and fitted with a basement bar lined with genuinely comfy stools. Beyond smaller bites such as such as charred octopus and chorizo with alioli are more substantial wood-grilled plates such as pork ribs glazed with quince paste.

Something called a 'siesta menu' (presumably a scaled-back selection focusing on charcuterie and cheese) is offered on weekdays between 3pm and 5pm.
