Embers Brighton

Tucked away in the heart of Brighton’s historic Lanes, Embers is a bold and fiery dining experience where everything is cooked over an open wood flame. Founded by long-time friends and chefs Dave and Isaac, this restaurant is built on the concept of “Fire & Friendship”, bringing people together around the primal warmth of flame-grilled food.

The menu is a celebration of seasonal ingredients and punchy flavours, served as playful small plates and impressive centrepiece dishes. Think smoked bonito tataki, ember-baked aubergine, Iron Age pork chops, and Somerset Saxon chicken, all kissed by flame and bursting with character. Vegan and gluten-free options are thoughtfully included, and the drinks list features inventive cocktails and curated wines.

Inside, the vibe is intimate and theatrical, with a medieval-style fire cage at the heart of the room where chefs cook in full view. Whether you're catching up with friends, celebrating something special, or just craving something smoky and unforgettable, Embers delivers a dining experience that’s warm, wild, and wonderfully unique.
