Ember Firehouse

Update

The fire has gone out!

There's no sign in the restaurant window, and no updates on social media or the website, but sometime in late November / December 2023, Ember Firehouse just stopped opening.

Originally

After renovating their well-located and extremely-compact building, Ember Firehouse, located at 7 Quay Street, opened gently their restaurant in the 3rd week of January 2022.  This is traditionally a quiet time of the year, but good for fine-tuning a new restaurant / takeaway without facing mad crowds.

They're in the Riordan's building, next door to X'ian Chinese Streetfood, and where Galway Oyster House was last summer.   The building and signage are low-key, but the bright-red features are cheerful and energetic - and hint at a firey blast for the taste-buds. There's one bench outside to start with, and quite possibly seating upstairs too.

The opening menu wass a carefully considered mix of flame-grilled free-range chicken, two substantial vegetarian / vegan options, and a range of side dishes and sauces.   Later in the year, flatbreads with lamb and beef options were added .
