Inside the Founder Memberships

When I started dreaming up emba, I knew it had to be more than just a place to eat and drink. I wanted it to feel like a home-from-home for the people who believe in what we’re doing. That’s where our Founder Memberships come in.

The food I’m cooking is the food I love to eat

The format I’ve created ensures that great cooking and bold flavours show up in every kind of dish. If you opt for the tasting menu, you’ll get slightly more refined versions — but across the board, the focus is flavour and satisfaction. Presentation will be much simpler that what I’ve served before.

Do I have the energy to keep going in this industry that’s changed so much? And if I do, what would that look like?
