Embers & Ashes

Embers & Ashes is a distinctive eatery tucked away in Addington, located just a hop and skip away from Apollo Projects Stadium and Addington Raceway. The open-plan interior invites exploration, with the aroma highlighting dark leather seating, a contemporary bar stocked with ample refreshments, and earthy tiling that flows towards the courtyard and smoker.

Offering a rustic yet refined atmosphere, this culinary haven embraces the art of wood-fired cooking. Embers & Ashes' speciality lies in American-style low and slow BBQ, complemented by a variety of meats, seafood, and tapas-style sharing plates, all smoked and caramelised over open flames.

At Embers & Ashes, meat and poultry take centre stage for a champion-worthy lunch. Dive into the Philly cheese steak omelette, or indulge in eggs Benedict with your pick of smoked fish cake, salmon, brisket, or bacon. For a true kiwi classic, try the chicken and waffles, or go all out with The Big Que if you’re feeling extra hungry.

The dinner menu emphasises sharing with a mouthwatering selection of shareable plates and standout entrées—consider tender slow-cooked pork belly bites, crispy lamb shoulder arancini balls, and delicate beef tataki mosaic. For the main courses, hearty favourites take centre stage, such as smoked Akaroa salmon, bacon-wrapped chicken breast, and the rich, smoky eggplant parmigiana.

With its perfect blend of flavour and vibe, Embers & Ashes is the foodie spot that invites return visits.
