Ember & Vine

Inspired by the sun-drenched landscape and an abundance of fresh South Australian produce, Ember & Vine in Mawson Lakes offers a contemporary dining experience.

Under the guidance of executive chef Kiran Ghate, the kitchen leans into smoke, char and seasonality, drawing on local harvests and highlighting exceptional regional ingredients. The mood is elegant yet inviting - a space where polished plates meet relaxed conversation.

As the day gives way to evening, the dinner menu unfolds with bold, regionally driven flavours. Sophisticated notes spark through small plates like the Ora King salmon, house-cured with wild botanicals and paired with a wasabi coconut yoghurt, or the vibrant gunpowder chicken tikka kicked up with Chettinad spice.

Hearty mains showcase a masterfully executed duck breast featuring a unique Charlie Black coffee rub and parsnip cream, alongside a crackling pork porchetta served with a savoury cannellini bean ragout and apple confiture.

From the grill, premium eligible cuts such as the 36 Degree South tenderloin and porterhouse take centre stage, beautifully complemented by sides like duck fat potatoes with garlic toum or heritage carrots tossed with a smoked basil coconut labneh.

Whether gathered for a spontaneous catch-up or a refined celebration, Ember & Vine offers a warmly lit stage for memorable evenings.
