Our Story

Welcome to The Hill & Ember

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.
