Modern Irish flavours, forged in fire.
A neighbourhood bistro in the heart of Galway, celebrating seasonal ingredients and the warmth of the wood-fired grill.
From the land, to the fire, to the table.
At Fern & Ember, we believe in simple, elegant cooking that honours the best of Irish produce. Our wood-fired grill is the heart of our kitchen, imparting a distinctive warmth and flavour to every dish. We work closely with local farmers, fishermen, and artisan producers to bring you seasonal small plates that celebrate the West of Ireland.

Our Story
Fern & Ember was born from a passion for Irish ingredients and the primal warmth of cooking over fire. Our wood-fired grill isn't just a cooking method — it's the soul of our kitchen, bringing out deep, complex flavours in everything from fresh seafood to dry-aged beef.
We're proud to call Galway home, and we're committed to showcasing the incredible produce of the West of Ireland in a warm, welcoming space where neighbours become friends over shared plates.
