About Ember

A premier destination for delectable fresh seafood and mouth-wateringly smoky char-grilled steak, Ember on Jonson Street in Byron Bay is renowned for exceptional food and warm hospitality. Expect a vibe in keeping with the coastal lifestyle; think potted palms, blond wood and a balmy alfresco area as you relax with a cheeky cocktail or two. The Josper grill seals in juiciness and imparts a smoky flavour that sets Ember apart, as well as gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options; start with Wagyu steak tartare, capers, cornichons, Dijon, parsley, pepper and olive oil, or scallops with confit garlic, celeriac purée, salmon pearls and vincotto. For the main affair, opt for crispy skin duck breast, served medium-rare, with sides of creamy mash, honey-glazed carrots and seasonal greens.
