About the restaurant
Fire, seasonality, and a room that lets you talk
Ember & Oak opened on Marina Walk in 2019. The idea was simple: Dubai has plenty of loud restaurants, we wanted one that feels like a slow evening in. Dim lighting, linen tables, and a kitchen that cooks over real flame.
Executive chef Lina Farouk leads a small team of twelve. Menus change weekly based on what arrives from local farms and the fish market that morning. Nothing is pre-made; nothing sits under a heat lamp.
- Wood-fired oven and open grill, visible from the dining room
- Mediterranean flavours with Gulf ingredients and Levantine spice
- 80-label wine list curated by our in-house sommelier
- Private dining room for birthdays, proposals, and client dinners
