A table worth crossing town for
Fire, produce,
and a little theatre.
Ember & Ash is a neighbourhood restaurant with a very particular glow. The open hearth anchors a room of oak, linen, and low light, while chef Mara Velez lets peak-season ingredients do the talking.
Come for the crisp-skinned chicken, stay for the sourdough with smoked butter. The menu changes with the market, but the welcome is reliably generous. This is the kind of place made for long dinners and second bottles.

Golden Tables note
Ask for a table near the hearth, and leave room for the olive-oil cake. The corner banquette is especially lovely for two.
