Moody restaurant dining room with dark timber ceilings, brass screens and leather banquettes

Wood-fired dining · Kuala Lumpur

Cooked by fire.
Remembered forever.

An open kitchen, a roaring hearth, and a menu that follows the seasons. Ember & Oak is dinner stripped back to what matters.

Candlelit table set with wine glasses, fresh bread and a plated seared fish starter

Our Story

Three generations around one fire

Ember & Oak began as a family grill house in 1974. Today, chef-owner Elena Vargas keeps the same hearth burning — pairing her grandfather's techniques with produce from the farms she grew up on.

Nothing here is rushed. The fire is lit at dawn, the bread is proofed overnight, and every plate leaves the pass touched by smoke.

Wood-fired everything

Every dish touches the fire. Our kitchen runs on oak and charcoal — no gas, no shortcuts.

Seasonal & local

The menu changes with the seasons, built around produce from farms within 200km.

Curated cellar

Over 180 labels chosen to stand up to smoke and char, from old-world classics to natural finds.
