Years of
Excellence

Born from a Passion
for Perfection

In 2013, Chef Marco Vellanti left behind a prestigious career at a Paris brasserie with one vision: to create a dining experience that fused rustic fire cooking with refined modern elegance. What began as a 30-seat intimate restaurant on Golden Lane has grown into one of the city's most celebrated culinary destinations.

Every ingredient at Ember & Gold is sourced with obsessive care — from A5 wagyu flown from Miyazaki Prefecture to wild herbs foraged from our partner farms upstate. Our kitchens run on fire, instinct, and an unwavering belief that exceptional food is the highest form of hospitality.
