It’s unique – every dish can be enjoyed as either a starter or a main, encouraging diners to explore a wide array of flavours and fostering a convivial atmosphere for sharing. The menu rotates seasonally, ensuring both novelty and familiarity, with beloved classics like the kataifi prawns and the white chocolate crème with lavender ice cream and honeycomb remaining perennial favourites.

    I had a lovely time at Embarc. The food was delicious with flavour combinations that really took my palate on a trip. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. It is great how well they know the menu and give a clear explanation on what you’ll expect from each meal! This little spot has left a great impression!
