Traditional Portuguese food, exceptional wines and warm hospitality — served in a beautiful, welcoming room on Westow Hill.
Born from a love of Portugal's kitchens and coastlines, The Hill & Ember brings the soul of homely Portuguese cooking to Crystal Palace — generous, unfussy and full of warmth.
Every dish begins with fresh ingredients and finishes over open flame. Our grill is the heart of the room: charred, smoky and honest, the way Portuguese food was always meant to be cooked.
Pour a glass of something from the Douro, gather the family around the table, and stay a while. This is a place built for long lunches, slow dinners and good company.
From the terraced slopes of the Douro to the warm plains of the Alentejo, our list celebrates the depth and character of Portugal's vineyards — chosen to pair beautifully with every plate.
Pull up a chair, bring the little ones, and settle in. We've built The Hill & Ember to be the kind of place you never want to rush.
Little ones are always welcome — and they eat on us, so the whole family can enjoy a proper meal out.
No fuss, no rush. Just warm lighting, good food and the easy buzz of a room full of happy people.
Open through the day for long lunches and unhurried dinners — whenever hunger strikes.
Still or sparkling, filtered and free — because hospitality should start the moment you sit down.
