Ember and Vines Burnie

Ember & Vines is a restaurant on Mount Street in Burnie, established in 2024 with a focus on bringing people together over shared meals. Its food offering covers lunch and dinner, with a menu that combines familiar Australian dining favourites, seafood, vegetarian dishes and steaks. The venue says its cooking is centred on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and creative preparation, although the menu itself is broad enough to suit different appetites and occasions.

The main menu includes a range of substantial options, from three-cheese arancini and creamy seafood chowder to Cajun-rubbed salmon, garlic and mushroom tagliatelle, lamb shank and Cape Grim beef short rib. Steaks are a particular focus, with eye fillet, Scotch fillet and rump served with chimichurri fried potatoes or house salad, plus a choice of sauces, butters and toppers. Vegetarian choices include a garlic-roasted cauliflower steak, vegetarian ragu lasagne and mushroom tagliatelle. There is also a dedicated kids menu, with options such as chicken schnitzel, fried calamari and spaghetti bolognese.

Ember & Vines presents itself as a warm, comfortable place to dine, with a choice between a more casual sports-bar-style area with bar tables and stools, and a conventional dining room. The drinks list includes fine wines, craft cocktails and locally sourced beers. For a more casual option, the venue also offers pizzas for takeaway on selected days, with choices ranging from Margherita and Veg Out to Big Pep, Chicken Parma and Prawn Star. Desserts include vanilla panna cotta, sticky date pudding, warm chocolate brownie, sorbet and affogato.

The restaurant suits a range of visits, from a relaxed lunch or family dinner to an evening built around steak, seafood and drinks. Its flexible space is also promoted for weddings, corporate functions, birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations, with the team offering to help manage event details. For diners wanting a Burnie venue that can move between casual and more formal settings, Ember & Vines offers both styles under one roof.
