Embla

Great dinner experience, picked out a stack of dishes – most of them hits (the exception being the gnudi) fantastic service and a great vibe - thanks!

I had to make it obvious that the old, rich, white dude I was with wasn’t there for ‘those reasons’. I think I communicated this well, whilst enjoying the wonderful food, drinks and service. At least I think I did. Anyway, enough about me. Hi, how are you?

Had a fantastic meal here just before lockdown 6.0. The service was fantastic, very attentive and helpful and the atmosphere was great. Every dish was beautifully presented and had well balanced flavours and textures. Some of the dishes were cooked in the wood oven, which created a subtle smokey flavour. Can't wait to come back again for a special occasion to try the rest of the menu.

A relaxing culinary experience. The dim lighting creates a sensory withdrawal, allowing for the senses to focus on the flavours of the food and beverages.

We ordered 3 starter dishes and were quite full by the end of it. The highlight was the house-made bread - incredibly fresh and soft which went beautifully with the dip.

We had a birthday celebration dinner there and the vegan food was just divine. High quality food and the wine selection was delightful. Beautiful cozy place.
One improvement, adding a vegan dessert to the menu. Apart from that just a amazing dining experience in the cbd. Photos don’t justify.

We were invited for lunch at Emla by a business associate. We were told the plates were "small serves" that could be eaten individually or shared. We decided to share. We had a snapper and ricotta pancake, which was delicious, followed by half-a-dozen plump oysters and baked fillet-of lamb, which was melt-in-the- mouth tender, and asparagus. As Embla is technically a wine bar, we had some nice wine to go with our food. It was a great holiday meal

My husband and I had the best dining experience at Embla. The food was exceptional (the blue cheese souffle is a must-try) and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back very soon!

While the food available is certainly unique, it's prepared exquisitely and is undeniably tasty. But the real star of the show is the wine list. Deep and extensive, you're bound to find something that both suits your taste and pairs with your meal. Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, and definitely worth visiting.

Honestly couldn't think of a criticism for the experience we had at this restaurant. Food was excellent, atmosphere was great. We were in a little nook upstairs so if I was nitpicking I'd say be were a little out of sight of the staff but they were also visably busy so did a good job and the temperature ran a little hot but it is the middle of winter!

Great place for a quick drink or if you want to dine in the food is very good, wine list is biodynamic based and quite a nice range. Perfect place for a date

Had an exceptional meal at Embla today. Have been several times and it never disappoints. The seasonal changes to the menu were superb and it was on point. Well recommended.

Good food, wine list & venue. However, extremely overpriced. For example, we ordered the fish main for $47, and got a slice of fish about an inch thick.
Did I enjoy the flavours here, yes. But personally I feel like it was not worth the price paid.

Cute bar and table service restaruant. Easy meeting place for friends. Tight but diverse food and drinks selection. Attentive staff even when busy. Great place for an extended dinner with good friends.

The discrepancy between food and service is hilarious- the chefs working with great attention to provide astounding food, while the wait staff plod around uncaringly. You should not be surprised to see them drinking the cellar clean while you sit empty-glassed.

2.55 pm on a Saturday- it’s packed, when every other place in the CBD is half empty, but Georgie remembers our phone call from the morning (I missed the booking window) and gets me the last seat in the place. And, because she cares, she informs me immediately that the kitchen’s about to close for hot food so I need to get my order for Pippies in straight away. Wow! They are so delicious. I was told that this place freaking rocks and it sure does and so you must book. Waiters: Georgia and Harry- great staff- really competent, attentive and ever so personable. Great looking open kitchen. Wine, sparkling water, bread, main, dessert, coffee- 38 minutes. Done!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Lots of alcohol, particularly wine selection.
This is more like a share plate restaurant and bar. This only thing I would criticise is the service speed. Staff is friendly and somewhat attentive, but things are a bit slow.
I still recommend you to try here. Come for the wine and food.

Wine was quite good and service from staff was great. The floor manager however was extremely unfriendly and snooty. Wouldn't bother again.

The food here was on the whole, stunning. Great flavours and perfectly cooked. Aside from the treacle tart dessert, which was a bit overcooked and a little underwhelming. Great wines and good service. Main concern is that it was just very hard to get full on the portions. Probably a bit pricey if you are in need of a real feed!

A great little wine bar right in the middle of the CBD. Extensive wine list from aroud the world. Definitely worth a visit.

Had such a great time in this laid back wine bar. A friend and I went there for lunch and we chose a selection of dishes to share.

We started with a veal tartare which tasted amazing, then moved onto some earthy mushrooms and half chicken. Everything is beautifully cooked. Would love to visit again but the prices are a bit prohibitive for a lunchtime treat. Approx $50 pp w one glass of wine
