Step Into EMBER - Kilkenny’s newest South African inspired, open-fire dining experience

Spearheaded by Head Chef Wesley Bearpark, EMBER aims to be a warm and inviting spot for anyone craving a modern dining experience - whether you crave a romantic evening or a memorable gathering, EMBER promises an unforgettable culinary adventure. 

Wesley has brought a slice of South Africa to Kilkenny, leaning into his experience growing up in Durbanville in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. The concept of Braaiing is ingrained in just about every single South African who will use any excuse to have a Lekka Braai… 1st Birthdays, rugby, for a few drinks or for no reason at all.

EMBER offers a warm, inviting space for diners to experience a new style of cooking. 

“I love that iNUA Hotel Collection has given us in EMBER the opportunity to bring this style of cooking and a-bit of South Africa to Kilkenny and Ireland. I know there is so many South Africans that will enjoy their home away from home.” Wesley describes. 

Wesley is extremely excited to bring a slice of South Africa to Ireland. He and his team are committed to producing the best Irish food possible with a South African twist.
