Contemporary African Gastronomy.
Wood Fire & Ocean Breeze.
Where indigenous Nigerian ingredients meet wood-fired culinary craftsmanship in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos.
Ember Meets Palm: A Modern Nigerian Dialogue.
Rooted in Victoria Island, Ember & Palm reimagines classic Nigerian dining through the lens of wood smoke, coastal seafood, and modern culinary refinement.
Our open embers burn seasoned cashew wood and coconut shells, unlocking deep smokiness in our firewood party jollof and prime suya-crusted cuts. Every soup is slowly simmered with fresh palm fruit extractions, wild okazi, and seafood caught fresh off the Atlantic coast of Lagos.
Whether you join us for an intimate anniversary in The Oba Suite or acoustic Afrobeats cocktails on the breezy outdoor terrace, Ember & Palm is a celebration of Lagos sophistication.

The Ember Experience
Loved by Lagos Food Connoisseurs
(Sample reviews illustrative of customer experience)
"The Seafood Okra with Pounded Yam took me straight home to my grandmother’s kitchen, but elevated with fine dining precision. The ambiance on the terrace at night is unbeatable in Victoria Island."
"Hosted our 5th anniversary in The Oba Private Suite. From the personalized menus to the Suya-Spiced Ribeye, every single detail was flawless. The booking process on the site was seamless too!"
"Hands down the best jollof rice in Lagos right now. The smokiness from the firewood grill along with that whole croaker fish is worth every naira. Valet parking was prompt and secure."
"Whenever I fly into Lagos for business, Ember & Palm is my first dinner stop. The Palm Wine Whiskey Sour and the Peppered Asun are second to none. Fantastic staff attention."
