Traditional Lebanese share plates infused with modern, unique twists is the focus of Embers Mezze Bar on Darlinghurst’s bustling Oxford Street. Embers' decor of classic arched white windows and rustic wooden tables is warm and timeless – just like the majestic heritage building it’s housed in, echoing the menu’s creative touch. Skilfully blending authentic ingredients, exotic spices and contemporary flavours, Chef Charles Fischer offers a fresh approach to Middle Eastern cuisine evident in dishes such as cauliflower, chickpea and pomegranate salad, as well as larger plates like carob-glazed beef cheek with freekah and sheep’s milk labneh, in addition to pulled lamb with pine nuts, goats cheese sumbusek and mint yoghurt. For a sweet treat, try the honey pannacotta with rhubarb compote.
