Ember
& Oak

Where fire meets finesse — wood-fired craftsmanship and coastal flavours


Our Story

Crafted by Flame

Crafted

by Flame

Ember & Oak opened its doors in 2018 with a simple vision: to bring wood-fired craftsmanship and coastal flavors to the heart of Cape Town.

Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Marcus van der Merwe, who trained under Michelin-starred chefs in London before returning home. His philosophy: source the finest local ingredients, treat them with respect, and let the flames do what they do best.

"We believe dining should feel like coming home — if home had better cocktails and a sommelier who actually knows what they're talking about."
