Marcus Ashford
Executive Chef & Co-Founder
With 18 years spanning Michelin-starred kitchens in London, Paris, and Tokyo, Marcus brings a global perspective to flame-forward cooking. His philosophy: let the fire do the talking.
Fire, passion, and a commitment to excellence — the soul of everything we do.
In the summer of 2019, Chef Marcus Ashford and sommelier Elena Vasquez opened the doors to Ember & Vine with a singular vision: to create a restaurant where the primal art of fire cooking meets the refined elegance of fine dining.
What began as a 30-seat pop-up quickly became one of the city's most sought-after dining destinations. Today, Ember & Vine seats 65 guests across our main dining room and private chef's table, each evening offering a new chapter in our ongoing culinary story.
Our open kitchen, centred around a custom-built wood-burning hearth, is the heart of the restaurant. Every dish passes through flame — whether it's the gentle kiss of oak smoke on a fillet of sea bass, or the roaring heat that creates the perfect crust on our signature dry-aged ribeye.
The talented individuals who bring fire, flavour, and artistry to every plate.

Head Pastry Chef
A master of texture and balance, Sofia creates desserts that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Her smoked chocolate creations have won international acclaim.
Sommelier & Co-Founder
Elena's curated wine list features over 300 labels from family-owned vineyards worldwide. Her pairings elevate each dish into a complete sensory experience.
Open-flame cooking isn't just a technique — it's our identity. The hearth is the soul of our kitchen, bringing depth and character to every dish.
Our menu changes with the seasons. We work closely with local farms, foragers, and fishermen to source the finest ingredients at their peak.
Every bottle on our list is hand-selected from small, family-run vineyards. We believe wine should tell a story as rich as the food it accompanies.
Zero-waste practices, compostable packaging, and partnerships with regenerative farms. We're committed to leaving the world better than we found it.
Join us for an evening of fire-kissed flavours, world-class wines, and warm hospitality.
