Emba

Set in a striking canal-basin location, Emba is a refined yet relaxed gastrobar led by acclaimed chef and restaurateur Elizabeth Cottam. With a hands-on presence in both the kitchen and the dining room, Cottam brings precision, warmth and a sharp eye for detail to every part of the experience.

The space itself is stylish and understated, with Nordic-inspired interiors that feel calm and contemporary, making it just as suited to long, leisurely dinners as it is to more casual drop-ins. The menu is designed around a mix of small and larger plates, encouraging sharing and exploration, while a thoughtfully curated tasting menu offers a greatest-hits journey through the kitchen’s standout dishes.

Flavours are confident and technically assured, exemplified by dishes like the crab and kaffir lime soufflé - light, elegant and deeply savoury, with the richness of brown crab perfectly balanced by bright citrus.
