Olive & Ember

About

About us

A neighbourhood restaurant built around one stone oven.

We are a small team that cooks the way we like to eat: simple ingredients, plenty of fire and no rush.

Our menu follows the seasons and the farms, so it changes more often than we plan. Our pasta is rolled every morning, our bread is baked in the oven you can see from your table, and our wine list is short on purpose.

Whether it is a quiet lunch, a birthday or a long Friday night with friends, we hope you leave full and a little slower than you arrived.
