Embla

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Embla is a wine bar and restaurant with a chic European charm. The open-plan space and wood fire and grill adds to the casual yet polished ambience.

As expected they have a good selection of local and international wines, to go with the solid produce-driven menu.

Their full menu is available Monday to Friday from midday until 3pm, and from 5pm until late Monday to Sunday. At all other times they have a limited snacks and supper menu available. For Sunday lunch they offer a set menu from 1pm until 3pm (or sold out).
